Query: both feet in the grave

This album was utterly disappointing. I've been a Beck fan for about 12 years and it has taken that much time for me to become disillusioned but "Sea Change" has done it. The critics were right about the heartbreak at least: this record is so bad it's heartbreaking. He relys heavily on trite cliches to mope his way through dull, unevocative, just-plain-bad songwriting... I was really looking forward to this record. "One Foot in the Grave" has been one of my favorite albums since it's release. I'm also a fan of "Stereopathetic..." and "Mellow Gold". But this collection of songs sheds such a light on the nature of his artistry that it actually makes his past releases worse.
