HIGH 5 < THIS IS WHERE ITS AT !!!! - By: DBLOCK, 04 Mar 2007 LETS ALL WATCH X FACTOR AND BE PLEASED THAT WE ARE CLEVER
AGGGHHHHH FOR ANYONE THAT IS BORED OF HEARING ANOTHER RIPPED OFF SONG HERE COMES BECK SOMEONE WHO NOT ONLY WRITES,SINGS AND PLAYS HIS OWN MUSIC
BUT ADDS DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS TO SOUNDS,LYRICS AND EVEN A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE WORLD. THIS ALBUM LIKE ALL HIS OTHER WORK PAINTS PICTURES IN YOUR MIND EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU HEAR THEM BUT AMAZINGLY SEEEMS TO PAINT DIFFERENT PICTURES EVERY TIME.
ORIGINAL ,ACCOMPLISHED AND EXTREMELY POLISHED IN A FOLKY HIP HOP JAZZ FUNK COUNTRY ELECTRO BLUES MISMASH OF STYLES.
PEERLESS AN EXCEPTIONAL ALBUM THAT FUSES EVERYTHING INTO A GIANT ECLECTIC SOUND CLASH OF TOTAL PERFECTION
BEG BORROW OR STEAL THIS ALBUM < OR JUST STUMP UP THE DOUGH > YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
BETTER GO I GOT ''PIGS AND ROBOTS RIDING AT MA HEELS''!!
Seminal - By: John Tree, 22 Sep 2006 Ah Beck, now here is a talent.
This, his second album, produced by The Dust brothers, was even better than his debut, & established him as a major player.
He almost recklessly mixes lots of influences, from Grunge to Hip Hop, to Blues, he mangles everything up. Sonically he throws everythingin including the kitchen sink, Tablas, chains, Harps, carboard boxes, harmoniums, feedback.... This just shouldn't work, but the genius of it is that it does...it makes perfect sensein the way more conventional stuff never could...and there are some great tunes here that will stay with you long after the CD goes backin the box. At the time of Odelay, nobody was mashing stuff up like Beck.
His image of intelligent, wasted life conjures up a beautifully cinematic view of the slacker underdog. Go with him, he will take you places you never dreamed of.
Bizarre, over-rated - By: David Allsopp, 22 Jul 2005 
I saw Beck on Jools Holland's TV show playing some very cool stuff, & so bought this album. Very disappointed & sold it after playing it twice (second time just to make sure I wasn't imagining the first time). Several tracks start out really well, great energy, rhythm & sound, then get ruined by samples, painfully distorted guitar & other randomness just chuckedin for no apparent reason. Completeley unlistenable. I'm clearlyin a minority here, but other reviewers on other sites seem to agree with me.
