Of course even the work of someone like Beck has its moments, but that's just logical, because if you plain and simple do everything that is possible, then at least sometimes you'll do the right think automatically.

Yes. I saw Beck at Rock en Seine in 2006 and it was very bad and dehumanized, while I was expecting something at least enjoyable because he's a good musician (even if I'm not a fan). Beck is musically skilled but is not able to make something really focused.
