Did Beck collaborate with the Art of Noise on this?

The only Beck I can stand is off of Sea Change...  This is terrible.

Beck is fearlessly true to his visions. Who else could pull off flamenco, acoustic, DJ, rap, mariachi, punk, country, breakbeats and more from album to album with such variance. He represents our fine town and the mixed culture of Los Angeles and we are proud of him.

I like the way Beck takes music from all times and all genres, and synthesizes it into something completely his own. Familiar, original and brilliant pop sensibility.

You and me both, buddy. "Hollywood Freaks" is another stand-out song that's just too freakin' hilarious...and "Debra" of course.

Dang... I was all set to go to your playlist and have a little fun at your expense... but alas, it seems you have pretty good taste. OK, you have some "Doors" and "Dave Matthews" in the 10s and 9s, but really that can be forgiven for the "Wailin' Jennys," "Morphine," and "Sigur Ros."

But then... huh? What's "Beck" doing with a couple of "8s?" Were you drunk those days?

I have to agree, like or not he is totally innovative.

One of the things that makes Beck so brilliant is his originality.

Surely someone has beaten me to the punch on this one, but...

"I see your schwartz is as big as mine!"

This tune sounds like he took all the unused samples from the rest of the album and tossed into an unruly salad. Blech.

Took me a while to figure out the album cover, though...

I have never been able to understand what people see in this guy. He does not have an original bone in his body. Edgy but inoffensive at the same time.

I want to plug Midnight Vultures... I feel like it's Beck's forgotten/underrated CD (except on RP, thankfully). There are many excellent tracks on it, and Beck does funkadelic so well. The tour for this album was pretty amazing, too. Very theatrical.

Beck rules. His not the subject, he is the ruler. He rules.

Midnite Vultures is brilliant in every way (I say, objectively). As for Odelay, if you find you can't cozy up to it, well, it doesn't mean you're a bad person, or broken. Philistine.

beck is a wizard, mixing rock, folk, trip-hop, jazz and even a little classical into his music. he is to be enjoyed in the moment, disregarding all of your "preconceptions" of what music is supposed to be. this kid amazes me, and every time i hear something by him, i hear something different. pretty cool
