To say that Gainsbourg plays a major role on the disc is an understatement, BUT if she made the same level of contribution (writing + influence + execution) on any instrument other than lead vocals, she certainly wouldn't have her name on the cover. I mean, unless she were some uber attractive actress from France... oh, wait :) Don't get me wrong though - she's great on the disc... just sayin, I hear a (very good) Beck record with a guest vocalist.
