Beck, the chameleon of the alternative world has done it again with his new album "Modern Guilt." Hailed as the return to Beck, the album returns to Beck's fun and flouncy style, flirting with technology while still maintaining a sense of maturity in the face of the fading decade. Mouthfuls of descriptions aside, the vinyl release of "Modern Guilt" is due in stores July 22.

Sick of hearing about re-releases on vinyl? Beck's covered that base to by breaking ground to include downloadable codes for high-quality mp3's when you buy the vinyl, pitched to replicate the sound of the vinyl record itself from the dropping of the needle. Perhaps by Beck's next album, he will have figured out a way to telaport into your living room.

If you still aren't sold, Beck's added some more tour dates so you can hear the tracks for live before you buy the vinyl.
