Now married (to actress Marissa Ribisi) and with his first child, Beck sounds suitably grown up on his eclectic eighth album. There’s contentment on tracks like the Brazilian-flavored “Missing” and the piano-laced “Broken Drum.” And lush, playful orchestrations suggest a happiness that was absent on 2002’s moody Sea Change. Ultimately, the celebratory vibe of hip-hop tracks like “Hell Yes” and the Latino-tinged “Qué Onda Guero,” a tribute to Beck’s roots in east Los Angeles, proves totally contagious. Reviews
