Time for a Sea Change

Beck's Sea Change How do you feel about it? I personally love Beck, and consider Sea Change his magnum opus so to speak. I first heard this album back when I was 16, and listening to this album has gotten me through every break up I've had since. Beck proved time and time again that he can be incredibly creative with his music on other albums, but when he needs to write a truly deep song, Sea Change showed he can do that as well. I'm not saying he laid his emotions on the line as well as Nick Drake or Elliot Smith could, but there is just something there with Sea Change that I just can't get over. So I'm reading reviews online, and it seems to me that my fellow music lovers aren't as enthusiastic about this album as I am. People are saying Beck didn't write a single original melody or song (The Golden Age ripping off No Surprises, Paper Tiger stolen from Serge Gainsbour, one guy even said all the songs sound like Plastic Ono covers.) So yeah, I know my BEA community wont let me down.... Sea Change belongs at #218, correct?

It's a beautiful album, though I feel like I need to be in a certain mood to want to listen to it. I can listen to and I prefer Odelay, Midnite Vultures and Mutations any day. That said though it's still a brilliant album and my fourth favorite of Beck's albums. And just for fun the rest of the rankings would be:
Mellow Gold
Guero
Modern Guilt
The Information
One Foot In The Grave
Stereopathetic Soulmanure
