The Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton

[KWtones]

@multivitamins4all @johnnymay86 Amazing what people can start to think when they look into things deeply ;)

[GodendtheDevil]

Alot of the same stuff from "The Information" is stuffed into one song... The Information is still my favorite Beck record!

[Tripo1iSamson]

godfuckingdammit, figures an artist I like would be a fucking scientologist. Fuck that cult. And goddamn was Battlefield Earth terrible.

[loljustice31]

@Tripo1iSamson yeah I went through this period of feeling that way many years ago when I first found out, but after a while I just learned to accept it.

[StephanieKristin1490]

I want to make love to this song

[electronicflyguy]

I need to see Beck perform live, that would complete my life.

[tr0llzorz]

god dammit i fucking love this song

[BiffGood]

Kick Ass. Still loving this, seen Beck in the UK and he is ACE.

[donbanania]

serge rip off-

[Schwartzhund]

Beck knows a higher form of the truth. It is up to us to accept it.

[rbh1138]

@Schwartzhund Yeah and that "higher truth" is to pay the scientology people some serious bank!

[Schwartzhund]

@rbh1138 lol, but I actually wasn't referring to his religion of choice. I just think the man is a musical genius.

[ciasplntr]

Damn, that song was freaky. I loved it. Beck is awesome. It was almost like Radiohead in its trippy half-melody at the end. I think the lyrics are the most messed up part, though. I mean, read them.

[pconrz]

Johnnymay86 be very scared Beck's out to recruit YOU, subliminally through his music

[Johnnymay86]

I got a very distinct impression that this came off as a recruitment song for Scientology, especially by the end.

.... Sorry Beck, love ya, but once you start putting your crazy cult in my music, I can't do it anymore.

[multivitamins4all]

@Johnnymay86 I wouldn't be so sure about that. Beck isn't even into Scientology. He's claimed it was just something he was born into. On top of that, the end conversation was completely made up by Dave Eggers and Spike Jonze. Beck told them to describe the "perfect record" and that's how the words to Exoskeleton came about.

[loljustice31]

@multivitamins4all I'm sorry to tell you, but beck is in fact quite into scientology. He'd lived with it all his life. His parents were both into it hardcore, his mother delivered his wife Marissa as a baby, and they were all into scientology too... he went to a scientologist elementary school and his entire band is into scientology. It's not even a matter of doubt, much as his fans would wish it weren't true.

[Tripo1iSamson]

@Johnnymay86 it's weird isn't it, if this guy was referencing Mormonism or something crazy, nobody'd have a problem saying "that's fucking dumb," but if Beck was "kinda somewhat happenstance" just born into the cult of "scientology," it's a-okay to many people. Goddammit.

[Flash9Flood]

Definetly one of Beck's longest and weirdest songs.Yet somehow I like it :-)

Once you go Beck,you never go back

[yourskull]

Vorlon technology???

[77nightingale]

The bottom of an oil well

Cell phone's ringing I could talk to my brain cell

[77nightingale]

"..AND could take it into space. And that's why you build a space ship. Because ultimately that's what space travel was all about. Was sending our ship from earth into space. And not just in some space shuttle thats got all the foam coming off of it. You need your own, glowing, ya know multi-colored.... space ship... (commence vommiting now) It would be inside the space ship and the space ship. You know what I'm saying?

Like an exoskeleton.

[cruehead0]

its better than good, the guy is a genius

[NickJonas6678]

*Beck is one of the best modern day musicians

[spazattack136]

this is amazing. im usually not into long songs that are just instruments but this is amazing.

[avadoor]

I don't know which voice belongs to who, if I had to guess I'd say Dave Eggers is the second voice?

[Naturality]

I love the conversation between Dave Egger and Spike Jonze, but I wish Beck published the rest of their 'commentary'.

Beck's my favourite artist, absolutely brilliant as demonstrated here.

[soundtribejunkie]

@Naturality yeah, Im real interested in that commentary too..Beck is a lyric wizard

[heyheyodelay]

A truly astounding track. I'm slowly starting to like Exoskeleton more and more.

[DiloneNElsOn]

meh not a big fan of this song

[FLambert1985]

I love this song, but is it about Scientology? Kinda sounds like it.

[nucleargarbage]

Landslide. Damn that song is good.

[societyXsuicide]

your missing the last three minutes

[curseofyig]

Good song. Becks rocks the party that rocks the party that rocks the party. He destroy anything in your pathetic music colection.

[cruehead0]

agreed

[kirrakodak]

I listen to this song so many times for Spike Jonze's speaking part lol that and it's a great song!

[Melancholical]

truly an amazing ending

[shojau029]

Beck is an amazing artist. End of any conversation, his work is beyond that of normal music, making the listener look beyond the norm and find what lies beneath.
