...downers, from the old surreal folkie “Pay No Mind” to the new love lament, “Guess I’m Doing Fine.” Perched on a stool in a bland shirt and tie, Beck shunned the goofiness that waxed falsetto on Axl Rose and tossed out two-dollar quips during this summer’s solo tour. Instead, he seemed muted by the mature, dour loneliness that fills his latest album, a beautiful group of breakup dirges called Sea Change...
Blane’s voice might not stand out in a crowd of aspiring rock bands, but he makes effective and powerful use of it, including a delicate, whispery falsetto on “Shadow of a Doubt.” On “The World I See,” possibly the best track on the album, his rich voice is complemented by Johanna N.

...parents but loves his daughter. About his dad, who left him when he was a baby, Marshall says, "I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye/ No I don't; on second thought, I just f_____ wish he would die."

Yet in the end, the band reprised both...
...best tracks on G-Sides are still the unpredictable Albarn-influenced tracks, chiefly the zombie-gospel song “Ghost Train,” a weird trip through groovy electronics highlighted by Albarn’s urgent, woozy falsetto. Nakamura says they will be working on “another record sometime next year” if not earlier, depending on how the various band members can continue to balance their other projects from the odd situation of having a side project get larger than anything most of them had ever done before. Certainly there will be more lunacy...
