2006, Interscope
Three years in the making, The Information is the album Beck began working on in 2003 with producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead's OK Computer, Kid A, Beck's Sea Change, Mutations) and finally completed this year once Guero's massive success and encore touring engagements, as well as Nigel's other commitments, were fulfilled. The Information is comprised of 15 songs and a DVD featuring homemade videos for each of the 15 songs shot in-studio during the actual sessions. The artwork for the Information is either non-existent or infinite, depending on one's point of view. Each copy will come in a blank package with one of four collectible sticker sheets specially designed by European and American artists and representative of the unique Beck aesthetic. The stickers will give every Beck fan the opportunity to participate in the creative process by designing his or her own one of a kind CD cover.

Customer Reviews




Alex StegemanI was plesently suprised after listening to The Information. Guero was a disappointment, and I had low expectations for Beck's new album. Each track captures my attention; it is clear to me that Beck put much time and effort into creating succinct tracks, with good lyrics solid beats. Nigel's touch on the album is apparent in many tracks, as strings appear and fade appropriately. And finally, I think that the DVD is a little over the top, and I probably won't watch it anytime soon.
