The album is actually very good imo. I can listen to it constantly, finding new nuances all the time.. and couldn't point a bad song on it. I saw Beck a few weeks ago with Radiohead, the band seemed a little as if they were warming up before the album release. One of the bandmembers hardly played anything, just jumped around, singing very scarcely. I had a weird feeling having a lazy bum like that on full wage was bad for the band morale :)
They also had puppeteers with a small stage, with puppets mimicking the band. The video displays were showing puppets, rather than the band, that was cool. Then, during a break, they showed a short video of puppets' adventures earlier that day in Dublin, including them fucking up Radiohead's hotel room. It was hillarious and even included the puppets singing "with or without you". I heard everyone around saying that was the best part of the gig so far, which obviously exposed how weak the performance had been. Then they continued to play and it got much much better from there..
