MMJ intro = Beck intro

[shockadow]

Anyone else get to hear the new Beck album, yet.  

The 1st 10 seconds really remind me of the beginning of Z.  ALOT!!!  Well, actually the first 2-4 notes but it's uncanny!!!

Thoughts???

I'll let you know what I think when it comes out Tuesday?

I've only listened to it once.  I am waiting til the vinyl release and then I will get around to really getting into it.  I enjoyed what I heard so I figured I would support him.  I'll let you know what I think when I get it.

Just the 1st 4 notes.  
It's a fuzzy bassline.  
You'll know it When you hear it...!  My wife even noticed it and she's not quite as fanatical as I am...

As for the leak...
I couldn't wait through the long weekend.  I needed it for the drive to the mountains.  I guess you guys prolly knew i'd have the advanced copy, though,.  
Huh, Tom?

no shit here, just some good-natured goading :)

mmmm beck.  One of the musicians that "matter".

I heard this last night (twice actually) while I was at the local indoor bouldering facility.  It does have a similar sound, a little too fast but I can hear what your talking about.

So what do you think about the record itself?

I think its pretty good, his last two albums were bashed pretty hard by a lot of people, I enjoyed Guero and The Information (this one a little more) but both of them felt overly long.  I was glad to see he paired down the length.  Like I said I heard it twice last night and I was climbing for a little over an hour.
