...title track for an album fueled by feelings of alienation. Here’s what happens: a long-haired Beck, oddly evoking Joni Mitchell, lopes inexpressively around the streets of a black-and-white Los Angeles. But he’s not as isolated as his new urban hippie vibe might lead you to assume—a moddish Anton Chigurh look-alike is stalking him, using the classic reconnaissance techniques of popping out from behind mailboxes and cartwheeling. And what does he do when he catches up to Beck? He hugs him, of course. So does our creepy friend...

...natty Rasta dreads, and is unconvincing as a guy tooling around with his pot-smoking friend. This becomes glaringly obvious with Snoop Dogg’s guest appearance on the subsequent track, “Time Is Now.” No one has the laid-back Cali vibe down quite like Snoop, and he probably would have been better put to use in “Sooo Comfortable” without the gospel-inspired piano chords and righteousness of “Time Is Now.”MURS also makes the case for love songs and chivalry...
