So basically if you want to hear the album you'll have to watch a bunch of YouTube videos (that is assuming you are unable to read sheet music).
This is awesome news! Modern Guilt was one of the best albums of the last decade, wherein Beck incorporated a full band in the recording studio and it worked.
Cant wait to hear the new album!

I think this is great. It must mean that he can read and write sheet music? That's a step above a lot of other rock and rollers. I'm sure he's put some effort into it - if you have a chance to see him live don't pass it up. Look forward to hearing the renditions!

That's clever. Just for the hell of it, I would like to see today's crap in sheet music form. Would that even be possible? It's all wub-wubs, synth, drums and auto-tune.
Not sure why people are all bent out of shape over this. God forbid an artist try to do something experimental rather than the traditional format. Seems like a one off idea, I doubt beck is thinking this is the way to release all of his albums in the future.
I also love how anything alternative these days gets dubbed as hipster. Basically some people think there are 2 categories of people these days. Normal, and hipster. The funny thing is without the hipsters we'd have no good music or films.

People would be surprised to see that many "master-works" share the same formula as "simple pop songs". For example, No Woman No Cry, Don't Stop Believing and Poker Face, all have the same basic chord structure.

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.

Melody, tempo, rhythm, etc makes these songs sound different, but the core is the same.
The common source in those songs is they are all based on the Pachelbel's Cannon in D. I never noticed until it was mentioned in the article you linked (I had seen the song before)

It's funny too how recognizable songs can be within a bar or two:
Although what you're saying is true, that video isn't a great example. They're not even staying in the same key. They just transition to the next song when they hit a note that they both share.
The lengths the industry will go to to stop piracy . . .
Will the sheets come with a skull and crossbones sticker claiming 'xeroxing is killing the music industry!'?
seriously though I think this is just Becks ironic comment on the lengths bands go to be hipper by releasing albums on 4 45rpm 12" platters and the like.
Will the album also come with a do it your self Devils haircut kit and a collectors photo of a Truck driver Belly flopping' naked In a pool of yellow sweat Screaming' jackass with a wet cigarette.
