Modern Guilt Reviews
"Lyrically strong, with recurring themes of identity, rejuvenation and various steps on the ladder of hope, weariness pervades Beck's vocals. There's an undercurrent, though, that fatigue has not led him to give up; instead, he's peering around the corner for a new direction, even asking how people can live while constantly looking over their shoulders."—VarietyVariety: Beck- 'Modern Guilt'(July 9, 2008)"Today, even as a married father nearing 40, he has managed to remain as musically idiosyncratic as ever. But on Modern Guilt, a simmering cauldron of postmillennial tension helmed by musician/DJ/producer Danger Mouse (a.k.a. Brian Burton), time is no longer an abstract for silly wordplay; it's a remorseless force of nature."—Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly: Modern Guilt Music Review(July 4, 2008)

I don't use the term "virtuoso performance" often but it sums up Jon Stewart's capture of Glenn Beck's bats**t crazy: http://bit.ly/4sW2Ww

それにしても、すごい、ここ(大崎駅Beck's Coffee Shop)では朝食を食べ、その流れで仕事をしている。アラサーという世代か。窓側の冽はそういう若者に選挙されている。それも男女が半々。かれらが、われら老人をこれから食わせてくれる。感謝。
