Guero

not my vibe at all

I find everything he does incredibly boring

Listened to this along with Neil Young's After the Gold Rush. Interesting. NY can't sing. Not even close. But he can write songs. Beck can sing. A bit. But....

crap

Extremely boring and repetitive. Doesn't go anywhere. He really loves a two chord repetitive structure. Was excited to hear the beginnings of some bossa nova on Missing, but then it was quickly very obvious that it was just two boring chords throughout. 1/5

This project has helped me conclude that I hate Beck and any music trying this hard to sound cool. Guerro is trying to replay the Odelay success with Dust Brothers production, which leads to it sounded even more derivative, detached and easily dismissable. One of those that I had to resort to playing in the background at work as it would have made the car journey too boring and painful.

Very boring. Kept checking to see when each song was going to be over.

A réécouter, lent et change de style

buf

Don’t like it

No

Menudo zurullo!

Underneath this mess , is something kind of mediocre.

Horrible.

Like a lot of others it seems, I’m now sick and tired of Beck regularly popping up on this list like a bad smell. He’s a trier but doesn’t really deserve all the exposure he gets as this album adequately illustrates. 1/5 18/1/26

gonna be honest, i only listened to the first three songs in full. i just don't fuck with beck like this. skimmed the rest of the album, it's just not for me

scuffed

Väljer att skriva innan jag lyssnat idag. Beck var en favorit under andra halvan som sakta tynade bort ur mitt medvetande. MTV-knarkarlåten hade man såklart hört men det var framförallt med Odelay som jag fick upp ögonen för Beck. Även de närmast kommande albumen införskaffades men satte sig aldrig riktigt. Sen blev det inte mer Beck för min del. Har inte lyssnat på något han gjort på drygt 20 år. Så lite spännande ska det bli att åter stifta bekantskap med en som man upplevde som en av de mest hypade artisterna vid mitten av 90-talet. Lite märkligt är det dock att detta album kommer upp. Enligt http://www.1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie.net/index finns Odelay och Sea change från 2002 med, men inte Guero. I min bok från 2007 finns albumet med enligt registret men inte i själva boken. På angiven sida hittar vi istället The Good the bad and the Queen. Så där ja. Det var alltså inte svårare än så att förstå bristen på intresse för Beck efter millenieskiftet. Totalt menlöst. Möjligtvis med undantag för avslutningsspåret. Synd på en artistnamn trots allt gjorde en hel del bra i en annan tidsålder.

being super subjective here but i really couldn't stand this, every song was giving me a visceral feeling of wanting to just turn it off lol

Please make him stop.

i'm mad at how plain this alcum was. i didn't need to hear this before i die

this originally had something meaner but I felt bad about it. this feels like it should be for me but it super isn't. the only beck I recognize is the mongolian chop squad not adding to collection

can't get into this at all- beck not for me. sounds like all the worst parts of millennial pop and indie from 2003-2015

Didn’t finish it. I liked the fist song.

Not my favorite. Not a Beck fan but I gave it a try.

Kann nicht hören ist nicht verfügbar

It’s so fucking funny that it gave me Beck again. Que Ónda Guero not bad. I don’t get Beck. Sorry. The rest of this was worse than the last one. Boring ass bullshit, cowboy spurs clanking over droning sludge. Sorry.

Didn't like it, found it boring and monotonous.

note

see that little guy on the album with his hand over his face? yeah that's me listening to this album

? If you are going to give me Beck, put Jeff in front of it. Otherwise, no thanks.

Really not a fan of this production style Nothing inherently bad about it I just can’t get into it

boring

Very average.

Crap

People actually listen to music like this??

This is the first album on the list that I absolutely do not understand why it is here. There is little original about the music itself, they either sound like someone just got a drum machine and hit the pre-recorded beats or they are samples. Have sings with almost no inflection of emotion, which make the songs sound meaningless, even when some of the lyrics are poignan.

For a list of the greatest albums ever this isn’t very great

idk nothing much

Most of this album sounded like street noise.

Mumble-y. Maybe I'm just not an alt-rock fan? Didn't really like a single track. What justifies this as something I need to listen to before I die??

Rap again! Horribly. Though I do appreciate the Hispanic backing. 1/5

What a dull album! So 2000’s (the bad stuffs!). I feel I wasted my time…

Ugh, Beck. This album seemed more interesting than the others. Maybe interesting is not the word. In any case, it was less depressing, a bit faster. Some songs reminded me of Nickleback and I can’t stand them either.

Eto cho

E-Pro Girl

Fuck Beck.

first song sounds like a ford f150 commercial... that's the only thing i've gleaned from it in its 3:22 runtime. i like that the concept of this album came from beck getting bullied for being white. beck has like two types of songs from what i know about him: "where it's at" style rap rock and generic garage rock (i haven't listened to sea change though so i'm definitely limited in my perspective). okay this third song is just car seat headrest. people compare this record to gorillaz and they're right, thus far it's literally just been the first gorillaz record but worse. i don't think i've heard a song on this album i've actually enjoyed yet (as of "black tambourine"). okay "hell yes" is pretty enjoyable, but it made me realize that the enjoyability of a beck song essentially reliant on being quirky enough to get your attention. which is fine or whatever, but this album seems like a rehash of odelay and mellow gold, so i feel like all of the quirk has been squeezed from this trip-hop, sampledelia gimmick already. as of "go it alone," this album has officially become incredibly boring. also fuck jack white. i just genuinely wonder how someone is supposed to *want* to sit here and listen to this entire album when every fucking song is just a four on the floor dirge with a monotone vocals that sound about as bored with the song as i am. "rental car" is the second song on this entire album that didn't waste any of my time with pure distilled boredom in music form. because things happen in this song. things are happening and it's not just the same 30 seconds looped over and over again. this is how you make music, mr. beck. last song was such a huge waste of time i don't even want to type its name.

No.

Bland and boring rock

felt like unseasoned music, will never listen again lol.... standard mid 2000s music

:( <- me listening to this album

wow, that's some real shit again. an attempt to make music sound 'modern' and synthetic and that's exactly what the crap sounds like. why would you want to produce something like that, why would you listen to something like that, it just sounds like shit. can I say shit again? oh, I'll just say shit as often as I want. a few drum beats, a high and 1-2-3 shit, 1-2-3 shit, shit, shit. 2-3 shit, ... OK, now it's no longer fun

Never been a fan. Doesn't do anything for me. Sweet relief when my browser locked up half way through. Couldn't finish.

1/5

I don't like the instrumentation and it's too much rap for me. Not my style

Just boring as fuck

A funky group of skeletons dressed in purple busting it down sexual style are they goated with the sauce? This album made my thoughts go away (in a bad way) I don't want to listen to this again.

This just kept getting worse and worse - the album was just all over the place and there wasn’t enough talent to back up the range of style.

Heavy drum beat. Fits well within radio of the early aughts.

0/10

The guy facepalming on the left side of the cover is me when I saw this pop up. I warned you not to give me any more Beck, 1001 albums, I fucking warned you didn't I? Alternative album time. Go listen to Rossz csillag alatt született by Venetian Snares from the same year. A timeless masterpiece of drill and bass and breakcore. I award this album 1 knife to throats of the editors of this book, just try to give me one more Beck album, just fucking try it! 🔪

I'm very surprised this landed on a list of influential albums. The production is way too sparse to be of any influence in any genre, and the accompanying vocal melodies far too basic to make this album any good. Finishing it was a pain.

Too loud

Way too much beck on this list 1

No es mi estilo.. Beck me ha cansado de siempre y este disco no ha cambiado mi opinion..

Not a fan... Only Beck song I like is Loser

Not a fan

Não é pra mim

this is what happens in the mind of your uncle's single buddy who comes to family events bc he's got nowhere else to go but also he brings weed. i stand by go it alone but the rest is not for me. 1.5

Lol I hate Beck

Why is this considered a good album? This is shit. Knockoff Simon and Garfunkel.

Album avec un mélange de tout et de rien. Mélange des styles pour un album sans style

Meh

He's called Beck cause when you see one of his records you back away from it.

I DONT LIKE BECK

Chilling&wibing shit.... Oli mukava ja miellyttävä kuunnella heh.. eli yhtä tähteä..

Beck is another one of those "How do you not like Beck? He's the next big thing! He's the future!" God, I hope not. If he's the future, I want no part of it. Oh wait, he did this in 2005? Okay. Nobody's talking about this now. Never mind. I can continue not caring in the slightest. Indifferent to Beck since the 90s!

i didnt listen to the full album because i didn’t enjoy it from the beginning
