		Beck's woozy, almost narcoleptic delivery seems to amplify the set's sense of ennui.
		But sad isn't necessarily bad, and despite the sombre tone, there's much to praise, not the least of which is the return of producer Nigel Godrich (Mutations, Radiohead) who wraps Beck's gloom in a dreamy, warm blanket of soft strings and floating bleeps and gurgles.

		In recent years, Beck seemed comfortable alternating albums from the two sides of his personality: 1998's mostly spare, personal Mutations couldn't have been more different from 1999's space-funk-filled Midnite Vultures, and the monumentally beautiful Sea Change and 2005's Guero were similarly juxtaposed.
		And when Beck and his band hit the road this year, they'll be accompanied by a group of look-alike puppets.
