I thought it was pretty awesome I kind of clicked with me
Coherent sound throughout, songwriting is a but repetitive, slightly preferred it to the other Beck album I've had
Rating: 5/10 Mixed bag album. I really appreciated the experimentation and eclectic mix of genres on this album. The amount of samples were also impressive, many samples from many different genres were implemented making this album very unique in sound. In pretty much every song, there were parts I thought were done exceptionally well but also parts that were very annoying and frustrating to listen to. A song could start well with a unique beat and mix of sounds but be pretty much ruined by horrible vocal effects or random noises thrown in that do not complement the music whatsoever. The ideas on here are fantastic, the execution is lacking a lot of the time for me. Favorite songs: Devil's Haircut, Lord Only Knows, The New Pollution, most of Where It's At, Ramshackle. Worst songs: Readymade, High 5, Computer Rock.
Call me a hater because I didn’t like this at all. I’m even the right age for this to be a seminal work. But I never “got” Beck. I enjoy weird. But this is mostly nonsensical. It feels like I’m being trolled the entire time listening to it. I look forward to never doing so again. 1/5
I’m torn, because I really liked the first song, but absolutely hated the second, and the rest of the album was a mix of mediocre and fine. Even the songs themselves started good sometimes and then went downhill. This album bas potential and was almost good, but the vibes were just off and that good first song is not enough to warrant a high ranking. I also kept hoping for loser baby but it’s not on this album apparently, if it had been it would’ve been enough to catapult this into a 3
Okay, I’m biased because I’ve never liked Beck. I saw him live in 2016, and his stage presence was as painful as his music. At least now I can say I gave him another try, and my opinion still holds. For me, this album was as objectively terrible as Trout Mask Replica. The difference is, Beck takes himself waaayyyy to seriously about it.
not my style, sounds like noise with a rhythm
It's cool to come to terms with some of these albums that I've heard, or at least their hits, when they came out: I guess I've actually never liked Beck after all (90ies Beck. I don't know post 2000 Beck yet, outside of his Record Club project). Slacker music with aimless ADHD that's too eccentric for its own good. Or ~cartoony. Country Jangle Pop but also Beastie Boys. Like liquorice but icecream. It all seems a bit forced. Or something, I dunno. Whatever my problem with it is, for now I can definitely say that this is crap music to have my early morning coffee to. [...] A few hours later it sits better with me but I can't say that things have improved dramatically. I respect this album, for what it was in its time, but that's about it. Honorable mentions: Minus and Ramshackle.
Good one, the right energy I needed this morning
I love this album. It’s weird, eclectic, catchy, dissonant, it’s so many contrasting adjectives all at once made to work by an inspired confident performance by Beck. This sounds cool today, I can’t even imagine how nuts it was to hear this when it came out. Top tracks: Devils Haircut, Lord Only Knows, The New Pollution, Novacane, Jack-Ass, Where It’s At, Minus
There is a 2000s sheen im not crazy about, but this album does a lot of cool things. Weird, interesting, but not legendary
Another anthem of my generation A great unique sound that stood out then, and still does today.
It's OK. Not much more. Big at the time but that time has past
An ok album by Beck. It is definitely on the more experimental/neo-psychedelia sound rather than the more hip-hop style I believe he was more known for. I can appreciate that it was given acclaim in the mid-90s, but it didn't really resonate with me. Best: Where Is It At? Worst: Diskobox
Wat een bijzonder experimenteel album. Hip-hop, folk, rock, funk.. Een aparte mix van stijlen. Bij dit album werkt het gek genoeg soms. De nummers die mij het meest aanspreken zijn de nummers waarbij Beck het genre bending niet naar de voorgrond, maar de achtergrond brengt. Bijvoorbeeld bij The New Pollution. Een beetje psychedelica, funk en rock zijn hier goed te horen, maar niet opvallend irritant aanwezig. Jack-ass is heerlijk relaxt. Een lazy stemgeluid dat doet denken aan Lou Reed. Het is een beetje een LCD Soundsystem achtige song. En ik herkende de drumsample! Let a Woman Be a Woman - Let a Man Be a Man - Dyke & the Blazers. Heb deze al een keer eerder op moeten zoeken bij 2Pac - If My Homie Calls. Ook Minus vind ik fijn, een goeie bassline doet al vaak wonderen. En een unieke sound voor dit album weer. Zit tegen punk aan. Wel vage lyrics haha. Bij nummers als Derelict en High 5 dwaal ik af. Valse stemmen, vage space-sounds, rimboetrommels, sitar... meh. Experimenteel, ja, maar niet zo fijn voor de oren. En wat doet Computer Rock op dit album...? Rating: 6.5/10 Highlights: The New Pollution, Jack-Ass, Minus
Geinig om deze plaat zo kort na 'Ill Communication' van de Beastie Boys te treffen, met deels hetzelfde productieteam. Dit album freewheelt zich ook door allerlei genres aan de hand van vergelijkbare sounds en samples, en Beck lijkt soms zelfs te rappen. Maar hij blijft vooral heel dicht bij het slacker ethos, waardoor het een beetje klinkt als een Pavement album dat wordt geproduceerd door het productieteam achter de Beastie Boys. Het is een experimenteel muziekstuk, een ware cocktail aan vette drums, country gitaartjes, gekke geluidjes en robotstemmetjes. De enige echt rode draad is dat alle maffe sounds zich aan de lo-fi zijde van het spectrum bevinden. Waar 'The Dust Brothers' ook de eindproductie verzorgde op het al meermaals door mij bejubelde 'Paul's Boutique', moet ik zeggen dat de executie hier wat vaker de plank misslaat. De radiogeluiden en mechanische vocalen zijn in overvloed, en creëren een iconische 90s sound, maar zijn wat mij betreft compleet overbodig op veel momenten. Terwijl deze productie destijds echt revolutionair in de alternative rock scene was, moet ik zeggen that it didn't age very well. Toch zit het album ook vol met sterke riffs, catchy pianoloopjes, modervette drums en smerige basslines; beats waar ik graag een 'echte' rapper overheen had horen rijmen. 'Hotwax' is een perfect voorbeeld van een nummer waarin een uitstekende beat deels teniet wordt gedaan door een hoop onaangename geluiden. Ik respecteer de gelaagdheid van de productie, maar ik waardeer het niet zoals op eerder werk van ze. De song introduceert ook een country/bluesy vibe - die een tweede rode draad vormt door dit album. Sommige nummers klinken echt als de love child van een blue grass band en een trip hop groep, wat een unieke sound oplevert. Die down to earth sound komt heel sterk tot expressie in 'Jack-Ass', wat een psychedelische folk song is die zorgt voor wat sereniteit temidden het kabaal van de op hol geslagen radio in de studio. De wat meer hip hop-focused songs, die sterk leunen op heavy drumritmes en uiteindelijk ook de wat populairdere nummers van het album werden, laten die country invloeden geheel los. Dit zorgt voor een prettige afwisseling. 'The New Pollution' heeft een hypnotiserende drumloop die me doet denken aan 'Tomorrow Never Knows' van The Beatles, en in combinatie met de saxofoon is het wellicht de fijnste instrumental van het album. Een persoonlijke favoriet is 'Where It's At', ondanks dat een hoop van die op de zenuwen werkende geluidjes ook dit nummer besmetten. Maar die chaotische energie is hier net zo aanstekelijk als in veel hyperactieve Beastie Boys songs, en wordt perfect gecountered door de chille hammond organ. Toch merkte ik dat de wat tumultueuzere nummers iets te weinig aanstekelijke energie uitstralen, en iéts te veel willekeurige 'technische vernuftjes' wilden tentoonstellen. Het zorgde er ook voor dat een album met wel degelijk serieuze muzikale intenties, bij vlagen nogal onserieus aanvoelde. Ik snap dat dat ook wel een beetje de houding is van Beck, maar toch denk ik dat er meer in dit album zit dan dat eruit is gehaald. De rijke productie op ander werk van 'The Dust Brothers' zorgt ervoor dat je als luisteraar na tientallen luisterbeurten nog steeds onverzadigd bent, maar ik heb het gevoel dat hier juist 'less is more' het motto had moeten zijn. Desalniettemin vond ik het een interessante luisterbeurt, met een handvol memorabele nummers. 7/10 Highlights: Jack-Ass Where It's At The New Pollution
Beck switcht altijd zo tussen genres dat ik nooit zo goed weet wat ik met hem aan moet. In zijn repertoire zitten heerlijke zonnige nummers en Loser is echt een kneiter van een festival-hit. Op Odelay kan ik niet goed de vinger er achter krijgen. De slackersongs met een Pavement-vibe bevallen me het beste. Bijvoorbeeld Jack-Ass zet ik graag nog eens op. Een nummer als Novacane waar de robot stemmen en machine-geluiden je om de oren vliegen vind ik gewoon onprettig. The New Pollution is zo'n voorbeeld van de zonnige Beck die je in bijna al je Spotify-lijstjes kwijt kunt. Voor mij is Beck het bewijs dat meer niet altijd beter is. Schoenmaker blijf bij je leest. En gebruik godverdomme geen robot geluiden. 6,5/10 Highlights The New Pollution Jack-Ass Readymade (Eels - vibes!)
One of the great albums from the Everything Alternative Is Signed To A Major Label movement.
👍🏻
Really don't like Indie...
Nice. Some good sound5
It's good, but not amazing. Still really good.
Liked this album better than my first Beck listen "Guero", but not much more. Where it's at was my favorite song on the album.
Lot of mixed things inside
I just could not get into this, man
Pretty honky but good in places
Iconic cover
Beck is weird. I think we can all agree on that. Whether in a good or bad way is up to the listener. Not really a fan of his stuff in general other than Loser.
The first few songs are great. Slacker Rock + Fatboy Slim. The drums and bass lines are heavy. The song lyrics all sound kinda suicidal, but the melody is poppy and fun. I'm reminded of what David Byrne said about Talking Heads lyrics, they don't make actual sense, they make emotional sense. I think Beck should cut his songs down to 3 mins or so, after that there's not much to be gained.
Beck never really did anything for me, and this is no different. But I do recognise the pattern emerging from what I've listened to do far, and that's all of the albums have stellar production, engineering and mixing.
A classic of my youth. Masterful production by Beck and the Dust Brothers. Not quite as innovative as it felt in 1996 but still a classic.
A perfect smorgasbord of Beck's sounds and lyrics.
Never been a fan of Beck. This didn't change my opinion. Middling 2.
Wow this really did nothing for me. People say it jumps from genre to genre. Sure? It leaves nothing of quality wherever it goes. It's not outrageously bad but christ I was happy to hear it end. It can have a pity 2. Fav songs: - Devils Haircut
Groovy sound, but I have no idea what the lyrics are talking about. Not a big fan of the feedback noises.
It was ok. Nonsense lyrics though
really weird but I kinda like it?
Lots of different music sounds. Felt a little like schizojazz. I liked the first half of the album better.
Feel like I've been pretty lukewarm on Beck for all of my music listening lifetime and despite the acclaim for this album, my opinion just hasn't been swayed. There's a lot to be intrigued by here, "Devils Haircut" is a banger, full-stop, but when this album settles into its sort of slacker rock groove this becomes quite boring to me and I start to become disinterested. "Derelict" is interesting, the production on much of this is great, a lot of unexpected samples, textures, and sounds, but again it's probably my own issue that this just doesn't actually move me or interest me all that much. Plus, I might be in the minority with this opinion, but I find "Where It's At" to be extremely corny despite the really nice warm production.
That was a damn fine album. I have no idea why I like it so much but I’ve listened to it several times. I don’t care for the opening radio hit but wow the next four songs are so good.
Don't like the sound too much
Very good album.. I personally think better than his later stuff.
90's alternative rock. Beck jumps around a variety of genres here, notably hip-hop and grunge, but restrained, melodic versions of them. I liked this album after really only having heard Where It's At before. The music is catchy with clever lyrics and the scope of the record is nothing if not ambitious and experimental. Definitely an album you can get more from with successive listens. Best tracks are Where It's At, Devil's Haircut, Lord Only Knows and Sissyneck.
This is one of those albums that could have only happened in the 90's. That weird period when music labels just threw everything at the wall to see what would stick. A lot of it failed and was soon forgotten, but what worked really worked, giving us gems like this.
2.93 per track. Hit or miss tracks for sure
First time listen all the way through, not bad. Very "new" when debuted but only enjoy the hit"Where it's at" and "Ramshackle. I like his later albums "Sea Change" and " Guero" a bit more - but for anyone he is a creative genius!
I haven't listened to Beck in a while but I could easily binge listen to his stuff.
Oh.. yeah... the shaggy dog album. Good stuff.
Always like Beck but I felt that some of the songs dragged on way longer than they should. I think he has better albums than this
Fire
3.5 stars; better than the other Beck album I've gotten (Guero), but all the interesting ideas are in the first half of the record.
Hey, a good album, quirky lyrics, some interesting musical choices, few instances of scream by Beck, really solid effort. I think I wouldn't be a fan of any particular song when listened to in the vacuum, but altogether Beck created a nice atmosphere and introduced a specific atyle, so that the overall effect is better as a full album. Very good, but not exceptional.
Beck er fínn og ég fíla mörg lög með honum en svo koma önnur lög sem vega upp á móti því. Það er alveg eins þeð þessa plötu, hún er uppfull af 'hittum og missum' þannig að fyrir vikið endar hún í meðalflokknum.
Not for me.
Super cool
Simple album. Most songs are forgettable and nothing too special. Wasn't a bad listen or too great of one just between ok and good. Jackass and ramshackle are probably my favourites. 3 stars.
Sitting down to listen to this album reminds me why I don't listen to this album. It's a jumbled mess of disorganized ideas. Whole fans call him a creative genius, I think he can't figure out which style to ape so he apes them all. I hear people label this lofi. That's not a fair label, this is massively produced and worked over. Nothing lofi about it. Off key or off rhythm can't be blamed on "being raw". Oh, and what's up with adding record dust popping noise as a theme. Like in the silence between tracks for ready made, and carried through the whole track. That's not leftover from sampling, it's just added noise. Nope. Last track, Ramshackle, is far and away the best on the album. A cohesive and moving composition played and sung genuinely. Left the gimmicks on the cutting room floor and let it flow.
First time hearing Beck outside Loser. Well, I don't really like his laid back, disinterested singing style. Drum beats were OK. I didn't hate anything. The keyboard in this sounded exactly like the keyboard used in the music for Napoleon Dynamite. Compare Hotfix with Uncle Rico's theme.
only listened to a couple songs, didn't like the vibe
Aceitável
I am decidedly not a Beck fan.
Eight days after Sea Change, we have Odelay, the 3rd Beck on this list; an artist I haven't been motivated to study before this challenge. If one Beck album had to represent his oeuvre it should probably be this one; odd, glitchy, inventive alternative rock/folk/hip hop that it is. It’s definitely from the same funhouse that brought us “Loser”, but with even more experimentation. However, I think this is another album that will grow on me, but I don’t love it at this time. I was so lost in the Dust Brothers’ eclectic production, that I think I appreciate it more than the actual songs at times. The constant shifts in musical direction were often entertaining but sometimes grating- looking at you, feedback in “Hotwax” and jackass in “Jack-Ass”. Also, and I realize this is not a fair criticism, the segues between the country and the electro/rap gave me uncomfortable flashbacks to Devil Without a Cause. The difference between “High 5” here and “Roving Gangster” from that album is that I’m having more fun with the former, but it IS still country rap to my ears. 3.5 HL: “Where It’s At”, “The New Pollution”, “Devils Haircut”, “Lord Only Knows”
One of the best albums of the 90s. Innovative and original. A complete masterpiece.
A little raw for what I was feeling.
Lots of bangers. -1 for rap rock.
Such a good album. The bonus tracks on the deluxe edition are great too and if I could choose some of those tracks to replace some of my least favorite on the album then this could be a perfect album. Rating: 4.9
It was ok all those years ago and its still ok.
Fun listen, I enjoy the cover art. A fun album, lots of variety.
Beck going from country, to hip hop, to nu-metal, to grunge, to folk is obviously enjoyable as heck, albeit slightly dizzying.
Beck is crazy talented and on Odelay he uses every trick from the Beck handbook. Twice. It’s fun - and it’s also somehow too Beck-ish.
I liked it, had heard the name but not the music
Amerikanischer Gitarrenrock mittlerer Güte, nicht gut...
A classic
Yep
As awful as every other album produced in the 90’s. I couldn’t get through it.
A fairly good album, I liked Ramshackle, Minus and Sissyneck.
This kinda sucks. Despite all the genre smashing every song sounds very samey. Maybe you had to be there for this one. 5/10 Pretentious and boring.
Hmmm again fine
A bit whimsical but overall good.
Okay...I think I've heard one song from Beck so I'm intrigued. Their songs are catchy. I'll give 'em that. 3/5 I got bored pretty quickly.
This one is still in regular rotation for me. Love it.
As it has always been, a great album. Haven't listened to the whole thing all the way through in quite a while.
A lot like Frank Zappa
Yes. Enjoyed this !
Basically my brain 24/7
Love Beck, 4/5
Some interesting tracks and wide variety of styles. Good production. Nothing stood out and made me go wow. Never heard of it, no idea it received widespread critical acclaim at the time.
This album was amazing. Still holds up. I had forgotten about it, but enjoyed every song.
Not for me to whinny
droll
Nonsense lyrics, but a fun album
TIL Beck is not Moby
Nothing great, nothing bad. High 5 was a slick beat though. This feels like 2.5 to 3.5 star territory to me, depending upon the conditions of the day and listening circumstances.
Struggling a bit with this one. I feel like it's objectively good, and I appreciate much of it...but I don't think I would ever choose to listen to this again. It's somehow good without being enjoyable to me. Usually in this case I'll think "yeah, I recognize that people who like this kind of music would like it, but I personally don't like this kind of music." In this case, I think I generally *do* like this kind of music, but I just couldn't get into this album. It definitely gets bonus points for having a komondor on the album cover as those are the most ridiculous-looking-while-still-naturally-occurring dogs on the planet. So there's that.
I can appreciate how challenging this record might be for a first time listener, 25~ years after its release. It was difficult back then, too. However, letting its oddity wash over the ears can make for a transformative experience.
WTF IS THIS SOUND (i fucking love it)
Hard to say if the world was ready for this insanely quality blend of genres when it arrived in 96', but here in the year of our lord 2024, I can say with confidence, it still holds up. This record rules. While it's not Beck's best, it solidified his place in reshaping the way we defined genre.
Even in the midst of considerable stylistic diversity, Beck maintains a singular musical identity that is unmistakably his own.
So good. I like his direction after this, too. Midnight Vultures, Sea Change and Guero. A lot he can do with a good groove. 4.5/5
Relatively enjoyable overall. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it feels like the only criteria for this list is being musically ambitious with lyrics and vocals falling by the wayside. This album accomplished that better than some.
If Jez from Peep Show made an album. 2/5
Boring lol
Second listen after years of not even hearing or caring about Beck, this album is pretty good. Not great, but good
These dudes were so fucking high
thanks I hate it
A genre bending whirlwind, a great outing by Beck with help from the Dust Brothers. One of the best albums of the 90’s.
Nope
Yeah it’s eclectic and a bit kooky but, for me, it works. Love the cover too
pleasantly all over the place - not everything lands but enough does to make it not be a fluke
Interesting album, it blended a variety of elements from different genres. It reminded me of beastie boys and red hot chilli peppers.
Awesome! Lots of great tracks
Odelay is the fifth album by American musician, singer, song-writer Beck. It is an experimental alternative/folk rock album that became - and remains - Beck's most successful album. Critically acclaimed, Odelay was present on many "Best of" lists for 1996, 1997, 1998, and even as recently as polls for 2005, 2013, and 2020. Odelay won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 1997 as well as a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for "Where It's At". This album has been certified gold in Australia, platinum in Japan, New Zealand, & the UK, and double platinum in Canada & the US. Beck's Odelay was an interesting gem to listen to. There's many different music genres across the album's songs, so there's something for everyone. It was a fun and upbeat album that made listening to it easy. Most people should enjoy this album.
This has been been in my regular rotation since it was released. Still sounds great.
Is this album really cohesive? Well, no. Is this Becks best album? No. Is this my favorite Beck album? Also, no, but I still really enjoy this album. It’s hits that nostalgic for my youth feeling in my middle aged heart.
Sort of have a harder time w Beck these days but this is still a classic.
Some cool sounds. I find it creative, and a couple of the songs I did like. However, overall it was not the kind of music I’ll go back to, or listen again from start to end. An interesting listen overall.
Not into it.
I wasn’t able to listen until the end. It was a pain to listen to
Interesting mish-mash of styles switching from 60s west coast garage psychedelia to grungy hipster hip-hop with weird sound effects, slide guitars and record scratches. OK, I guess, but it didn’t really grab me.
Good
I'm not a huge fan of Beck; it's kind of lay-back music is a bit too lay back for me... and in many cases he seems as bored as I could be will singing. Trying to get past this, the album is actually pretty good, the way songs are built with samples and instruments is nice and the most dynamic songs even caught me shaking my head. So yeah, still not a huge fan, but not that bad.
After I watched "A Life Less Ordinary" in the cinema, I went to buy the CD with the soundtrack. That's how I learned about Beck. I liked Beck's "Deadweight" and the other music, but actually never listened deliberately to any other music by Beck. I should have done. It's great alternative rock. And it's experimental to exactly the degree I like.
Beck is better in small doses. An entire album is a bit much, a 52-minute album is way too much. I've finished all the other albums I started on this list so far, but I just couldn't with this one.
It's an old school Beck album...either you'll love it or you'll hate it. Lots of weird samples and lyrics. At first blush it sounds like chaos, but if you really listen it all comes together to create a coherent soundscape. Beck's always been one to push the limits and do his own thing. It's like if They Might Be Giants merged with the Beastie Boys. We need more musicians like Beck. Standout tracks: Devils Haircut, Lord Only Knows, The New Pollution, Where It's At, Ramshackle
Some of this album is genuinely ok, the rest is obnoxious and overuses odd noises.
Unique for sure. I read the bio on album I thought it was very interesting. Famous producer told him not to release it! At the time he sunk all of his money into it. Most of the time follow your gut!
Forgot how much I love Jack Ass. Not my favorite Beck album
Pure nostalgia. Love this album.
Nice to get a Beck album.
I get it. Beck is cool and all. This album didn’t do it for me.
'What the fuck is this ridiculous devil's haircut bullshit?!' 'Oh, mate - wait until you get the bit about having a cigarette on each arm and a carburetor tied to the moon. I must have been so fuckin' high when that came out of me!' This album is as 90s as tamagotchis, OJs tiny glove, and Mr Fucking Blobby (which is his legal first name).
aprieta mucho abarca poco. 3,8/5
well ...
It's a pretty interesting sounds coming from the 90s; definitely would not have placed it there. Over all though it's not really my speed. Some of the tracks use some pretty high pitched sounds for the melody and I did not enjoy it. 2/5 I would not seek this out
tiene buenos temas, pero no todo el álbum es bueno en su forma completa.
Feel like I may have underrated this one prior to giving this a full relisten. Pretty great
It doesn't all work for me, but there's a lot of great stuff here.
some good weird shit that i vibed with at times. jack ass is a dope song.
Album 300 of 1001 Beck - Odelay Rating : 4 / 5 Favorite Track : The New Pollution / Where It's At I bought this cd right after he won the grammys for it back in mid-90s. I think I listened once and it has been sitting in my cd case since. I should have listened to it more, as it was a good purchase. I enjoy this album. Some say he should have picked a genre and stuck with it throughout the album. I like the variety. Good stuff.
Pretty slick. I’m having high school flashbacks. Always wondered why new pollution was a not fan favorite but pretty cool memory lane album
Good album. First time listened form start to finish. Lots of good, known songs on this one. And the not-so-know stuff is fun to listen to as well.
Not unbearable.
Curious and intriguing, makes for active listening
Not my thing really.
So good!
Heard Beck plenty over the years (his Mornings album is a frequent) but haven’t listened to much else. I came in wanting to like this album, but it just didn’t land. Way too disjointed, bad interludes. Felt a Beastie Boys influence though, so maybe this list is working. DNF.
too much noise. ramshackle is okay tho
Broke onto the late 90’s scene, with a great new and unique sound. Love his music.
Always loved this album. Ramshackle is my favourite track. Where it's At, New Pollution and Devil's Haircut all great. If the whole album was this quality would get 5 stars from me. The overdistorted sounds, vocals and noise for the sake of noise on some of the other tracks brings this album down to 7/10 for me.
Not very good at all
God
2024-01-20
All over the place and I'm here for it. Glad I took the time to give it a listen!
Wish I could give it a 2.5
I thought Loser was on this one and was kind of bummed when it never came on. I listened on my morning commute. I enjoyed most songs, but not one of my favorite styles. Reminds me of going through my uncle's CD collection.
Nothing memorable for me. Easy to listen to, but I think it was just not my vibe.
tem umas música mt daora, mas só não dou 5 pq acho as partes experimentais pretensiosas demais sei lá
Perfection.
Sounds super different to the last Beck album that came up on this (but I am no Beck expert), deffo coming back for more now
Some of the songs are ok. A bit weird... 90's funk is funky and weird.
This dude skirts a fine line between a bop and a migraine sometimes. But fuck me if he ain't cool as a cucumber.
My jam! Simple enough and a great vibe
Beck is okay. I liked some of his songs and they were different. Won’t listen to him on my own time though. 5/10
Didn’t really get much from this one. 5/10
Pretty good start to this album with some hits and good songs overall, it then takes a massive nose dive halfway through to some of the strangest stuff I've ever heard. Felt like some guys in studio making random noises and hoping it would sound good, it didn't. 4/10
Beck Beck Beck, Beck is weird. Beck has always been one of those names that I know pretty much all his big hits but have never sought out full albums. I don’t even know what genre you would put this in, rock? Folk? Country Punk? Some of the songs are pretty experimental in their sound, almost to much so. The hits are bangers and are very apparent when compared to the rest of the album. Over all an interesting listen but not something I will seek out again. 5/10
<img src="https://tenor.com/view/forgot-no-memories-lord-of-the-rings-lotr-gandalf-gif-13463504" alt="Gandalf says 'I have no memory of this place...'"> "I have no memory of this place..." Well, except "Where It's At." I was thirteen in 1996 and had my own little Walkman. I listened to the radio plenty, but the only song from Beck I recognize is "Where It's At," though some of the others feel slightly familiar. It's decent background rock, but nothing other than that song stands out. It's not bad, but it's not excellent either. That's the problem with hearing experimental rock nearly three (wtf.) decades later: stuff that was avant-garde and bleeding edge at the time has now been incorporated into the main flow of music unless it's really outre. Might have blown my mind *then* but it doesn't now.
Not my jam
Love it
Solid gold.
It’s weird. It’s creative. It’s Beck. I loved it. Will listen again.
Meh Album but led me to discover Loser which is a nice song. The weird sound at the end of Novocane is annoying 4/10
not very musical…more an experimentation in sound…lofi
I used to confuse Beck with Jazz Fusion guitarist Jeff Beck. Like I thought they were the same person. Or at least I thought, whenever someone said "Beck" they were saying it in the same way someone would say "Hendrix". Apparently that isn't the case, and that makes me happy. Because now I know when people are praising the guitar work and writing chops of Jeff Beck - I can safely assume they are talking about the famous Yardbirds guitarist and not this awful shitty Beck. There was some moments of good moments here. But mostly the cringy nonsensical lyrics for the sake of them being "weird" is such an overplayed boring approach to writing music. Even if this record is 30 years old. At best some songs are boring, at worst they sound like Kid Rock. Not for me.
love the later stuff, this one is .. no good
Reminds me of gorillaz actually. Enjoyed
Didn’t dislike but struggled to pay it much attention
Really weird and eclectic. Can't remember it that well but was an interesting listen
Average, but didn’t like it The cover picture is of a Hungarian puli dog which is cool
This album was so strange. I honestly don’t know if I liked it or not. Some of the songs were pretty funky and enjoyable, but I highly doubt I’d revisit this as a whole project.
I like the experimentation, but sometimes it goes a bit too far and doesn't work.
Not my favorite Beck album, but it’s still an innovative experience and lots of fun.
Fun but felt 1 dimensional by the end.
Great album with nostalgic memories of some of these songs coming on in a club and dancing while singing along.
It's ok
I can finally see what all the fuss is about. What a great career resurgence. Great to see Jeff Beck do something so forward thinking. Excellent. 4.1
the change of genres is exhausting. I get that this was a very experimental time, but I think it's just not for me.
I was torn betwen 2 and 3 stars. It wasnt a bad record by any means at all but im not going to go back and listen to it.
a wonderful medley of genres, rap, blues, folk, even electronic aspects. very nice listening
like couldn't finish it cuz it was too screechy
It's a classic!

Interesting album. Rock with some hip hop vibes in terms of sampling and almost spoken word in some points. Some songs bordered on grungey metal, others were almost trip hoppy. Good drum breaks throughout.
I know one Beck song and it is "Loser" because it would play a lot on the rock radio that I would listen to, but this album was pretty bad, something that you would maybe write while not at all present on Earth (on drugs). There were a few songs that had some really annoying sounds that made me decrease the volume quite a lot. I would rate this 2/5. It may have been cooler back in those late-90s days while you were enjoying smoking weed on the weekend but it's not really my thing.
It was kind of a mix of everything. Jazz, hiphop, rock, electronica. Pretty cool all around. Saved some songs from the album. Loved devil's haircut.
I haven’t listened to this album in a very long time. I never really liked Beck that much when he first came out and listening to this album again reminded me that I still don’t like him that much. Some of his songs are kind of fun, but they all start sounding the same after awhile.
Not my cup of tea.
After getting a drum and bass album yesterday where all the tracks sounded the same I love how varied this one was. My fav tracks were Derelict, Jack-ass, and Readymade
A classic 90's angst album that resonates with the rebellious youth in all of us. The tracks show a broad range of experimentation with fusing elements of rap, electro, grunge, and punk into a post-modern marvel that will satisfy almost every listener a little.
I can appreciate some Beck songs, but a full album is a bit too much. He talks over experimental sounds, which might be interesting a few times, but gets tiring fast.
An interesting listen with a futuristic sound. Breakbeat and hip hop drums. Borrowing from all genres to create a unique merge. Occasionally misses the mark but overall solid listen.
The mish mash was interesting, pretty ambitious album overall but I think it was pretty effective. Probably liked this more artistically than musically. Most songs had something I liked but also something I didn’t. Felt like an album of moments. Didn’t like his voice on most of it. Decent 6
very impressed about how diverse this album is and still sounding good in any genre
Absolutely not my music.
Pedestrian
Not a pleasant listening experience. Songs sounded like they had a kernel of an idea that seemed to lose focus at points by throwing in strange tempo shifts or what sounded like just random noise (such as at the end of novacane). I will say that Ramshackle was a diamond in the rough at least.
Not bad, reminded me of the Fight Club soundtrack
Creative and different - not my daily cup of tea, but unique
Another one that is not close to what I like.
Loved. Very nostalgic for me, but I'm always a fan of Beck (except for Hyperspace)
This has some serious nostalgia vibes, came out when I was the perfect target audience for this as a white suburban kid in grade 10. Think it’s aged pretty well, it’s kind of strange music to be honest, I feel like at the time there was better underground music in the same vain. But Beck earned the spot from his previous album smashing it. 4 stars
Odelay By: Beck Genre(s): Alternative Rock, Sampledelia, Alternative Hip Hop, Experimental Rock, Folk Rock, Neo-Psychedelia Date Ranked: 08 . 01 . 24 Halo Numbers: 2 Devils’ Haircut: 5.75 / 10 ☆ > Wow, this is a surprisingly bad opening, like, holy moly. His voice sounds very enthusiastic and kinda dead, and the lyrics are boring and repetitive. The music is kinda alright I suppose, but it doesn’t really save the song. Hotwax: 6 / 10 ☆ > This is still very very boring. Putting his voice aside, the lyrics aren’t great, and the music doesn’t serve the song well either. Lord Only Knows: 6 / 10 ☆ “Odelay” is, admittedly, a very nice word. The same cannot be said about the song. The New Pollution: 6.75 / 10 ☆ > I have to admit, this one is much better than the previous ones. His voice is better, so are the lyrics, and the music also went through a significant improvement. Well done. Derelict: 6.75 / 10 ☆ > Yeah, that’s what I am talking about! Improvements! Again, lyrically, much better. Novacane: 6.5 / 10 ☆ > Not really bad, but I am not exactly a fan of the “attitude” in which the song is performed, if you understand what I mean. Jack-Ass: 6.5 / 10 ☆ > I think the music in this one is pretty alrighty nice, and the lyrics aren’t bad, but the way he delivers it sounds a bit boring to me personally. Where It’s At: 6.5 / 10 ☆ > I feel like this one kinda had the potential to be quite a fire song but kinda fell off shortly with those pretty boring sounding lyrics. A shame. Minus: 6.25 / 10 ☆ > Too short for you to start enjoying it considering its other qualities. It is just alright-ish. Sissyneck: 6.25 / 10 ☆ > Not even too sure what to say about this one. It is just “alright” and not much else. Readymade: 6.25 / 10 ☆ > Almost missed this one to be honest. It is… well, not a bad one, I think it has some nice touches, but, overall, it is mid in my opinion. High 5 (Rock the Catskills): 6.75 / 10 ☆ > Alright, this one is kinda more catchy and sounds kinda nice, so I’ll give it that. Ramshackle: 6.5 / 10 ☆ > It is calm and nice and stuff, but it still feels weak to an extent. Maybe his voice is just not for me, I am not sure. Diskobox: 6.75 / 10 ☆ > This one is experimental and fun, I like it! I can’t make out too much of the words, but it is still a nice song. Total Percentage: 63.9285714% —> 64% Average Song Rating: 6.39 / 10 ☆ Best Song(s): > The New Pollution > Derelict > Diskobox Additional Note(s): Apparently, his album “Midnite Vultures” is pretty good, according to my dad at least. Maybe you should check it out later. As for this one, maybe it’s just not for you.
This sounds like Cake! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Some good moments for sure, but I find Beck not living up to the hype. The experimental forms ends up just feeling messy, and taking away from the brilliance that at times shines through.
A good album to smoke weed. I don't smoke weed, so I can't say if it's good. 2/5
This is not my jam.
Odelay is a musical masterpiece, breaking expectations with intricate edits and surprising samples. Its organic feel and dynamic blend of fun and funk showcase the artist's versatile talent, dispelling any notion of a one-trick pony. With both beauty and talent, Beck proves to be the complete package. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 9 STAND OUT TRACK - Sissyneck
Early white boy rap mixed with electronica. Probably wouldn’t have given it the time of day in 1996.
naja - ok
Experimental bordering on annoying. That being said, it's a really fun album. The creative usage of objects and instruments to make odd noises is more entertaining than not. Most of the tracks on this album are super laid back and chill, with simple percussion nudging the tempo forward. Not sure if I'd listen to this again soon, but definitely again someday.
This is not my kind of music, too punkish. I did like one track Jack-Ass and even added it to my playlist.
An album that takes a ton of swings. The best parts are fantastic but it’s an uneven effort. Nevertheless, this will always be an album that I have a soft spot for and don’t mind skipping through the weak tracks.
Some flashes of good, but most songs ruined by distortion and feedback.
Quirky classic.
I have to avoid writing "classic" in each and every review. This one surely is in the realm of the 90ies Indie music. It's a solid album, has its place in musical history, but for me personally, Beck always was too experimental, inconsistant, and not enough mainstream to really, really like him. Kind of like what Prince was for R&B, he did for alternative music.
Close second to Guero for my favorite Beck album, and certainly the most interesting and innovative. It is abrasive and highly experimental, so could take some time to get used to, and a hit-or-miss for many, but I'm absolutely in love with it. Produced by the Dust Brothers, who worked on Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys, one of the craziest hip hop records, and they bring that energy and over-stimulation here. Devil's Haircut: a strong dissonant opener with eery country-style singing and random sound effects; establishes the mood of the record while still having a consistent groove and an awesome hardcore ending Hotwax: a parody country song with cool electronic effects, hip-hop beats, and strong raps; great electronic bridge and otherworldly jazzy closer (uses that bongo sample) Lord Only Knows: catchy alt country with memorable chorus and nostalgic guitar; reminds me of Wilco The New Pollution: memorable and catchy indie rock hit; samples are incorporated smoothly in this track Derelict: raga-influenced with nice double-tracked vocals; highly abrasive and messy but entrancing Novacane: country-infused hip-hop with intense vocals, reminds me of Beastie Boys; the messiest and gets really hard to listen to in the second half, but fun nevertheless Jack-Ass: a peaceful alt country catchy track, also reminds me of Wilco; really simple and only gets dissonant in the last minute, which feels fitting Where It's At: an infectious country hip-hop track with crazy samples thrown all over the place; the most memorable but also a bit hard to listen to, and ends a bit oddly Minus: unlike anything on this record, it's a garage noise rock track like Sonic Youth; pretty decent song and a nice break but a bit of an outcast Sissyneck: mostly normal alt country with a catchy chorus but otherwise not much to say Readymade: a mix of country and psychedelia; featuring weird sound effects; decent but again not much to say High 5: abrasive hip-hop, probably the messiest song on the record Ramshackle: a drawn-out peaceful ending; a fairly normal acoustic folk track with some mild dissonance My major beef is that I do feel the quality does take a dip following "Where It's At". They feel more like incomplete ideas that could be expanded upon. "High 5" is out-of-place, coming off really abrasive and rough in between chiller tracks, which is really off-putting at the end. And with a record length of 52 minutes, it does get a bit exhausting at that point. I do think most of this album is among one of the most innovative and impressive that the 90s has to offer, and Beck really displays his talent here. Weaknesses aside, I do consider this to be an essential record, and one that I will revisit from time to time, but I might just cut it at "Where It's At".
So satanic! Love it
Too indie. Not my taste.
Beck can do it all. Album sounds amazing almost 30 years later dimpym due to its originality and Becks unique voice and style.
Hip-hop-ish beats, some electronic leanings
Devils haircut and other tunes make this a classic. Combination of mad sounds and crazy surreal lyrics held together with cosmic groovy glue.
Aah, the Beck I know and love. Doesn't always work but mostly does so I'm happy with that.
Fantastic. This album was on BBC 6 Music in full the other night, so I happily listened to it twice this week. I'm too tired to review it properly, so you'll just have to trust me that it's good.
Listened to it several times back in the day, it's been a long time. The runtime is a tad bit longer than it needs to be, but still great album. 4.5
Not my taste. Too raw.
3.5
weird interesting pile of garbage
Einige Lieder finde ich richtig gut, andere nicht.
I actually really enjoyed the early 2000s musk that this albums creates- it's such an interesting approach on a mesh of genre. Definitely going to listen to more of their discography :)
leuke cover
Manchmal ein bisschen zu experimentell. Aber alles in allem gut.
Nope.
Liked it yeah
Beck was always a mistery to me...
erst etwas country mäßig, aber dann doch ganz nett, sample artig / repetitiv? ccr? velvet underground / eels stimme? insgesamt ganz brauchbar
OK, this one is fun. Actually one oft the albums I grew up with, I didn't listen to it in quite a while. It has this typical 90's alternative rock thing going, that is unmistakable. Beck also has his own style, which really shows in this album.
A classic Beck album. Not my favourite, but a good album showcasing Beck's skill as a musician
Shit. Absolute and utter shite.
endlessly creative project. Beck in general is so impressive in how he presents fresh ideas with every album, yet always seems so cool and himself. A goat TBH.
Alla låtar är inte dåliga. Men det är lite för jobbigt på totalen.
Vissa highlights men för ojämn
Först och främst. Jag har aldrig gillat Beck. Nästan ogillat honom. Han känns jobbig och ansträngd. Samtidigt är hans musik inte jättedålig. Och jag förstår att man gillar musiken. Den är liksom lite rolig (inte negativt). Men det klickar inte för mig. Lite för "experimentellt". Jobbiga ljud å så... (Är jag gammal?) Hans sångfilter är rätt jobbigt också. Derliict ingen bra Novacane - jobbig. Ljuden i slutet. Fuck off. Jack-ass, bättre. Mer "normal" Where its at ska ju vara en hit. Man har hört den. Men är den bra? Filterröst, robotröst, en melodi som en barnramsa. Mer en gimmick än riktigt bra musik. Slingan som inleder låten och som kommer igen då och då är ju bra. Men sen lägger han bajs i maten. High 5 dålig ramshackle är nog bäst (en riktig låt)
Beck bra ju oväntat bra Jag har alltid gillat stökig musik Sista låten var grym Diskobox Några svaga låtar men stark 3a blir det
Herre min skapare vad gräsligt detta var. Alltid haft dålig koll på Beck och kände på förhand att det var en lite pinsam kunskapslucka, men det kan jag ju skatta mig lycklig för med facit i hand. Det här kanske var nyskapande när det kom, i så fall förmodligen av den enkla anledningen att det inte föresvävat någon att göra sån smörja tidigare. Fan vad provocerad jag blev av det här.
Reminds me of high school. Lots of samples, scratches, and fuzzed out guitar. Catchy pop lyrics.
Beck was one of the first artists I can remember cramming my mp3 player full of. I could only store around 100 songs, but had a handful of tracks from Odelay. Something about the blend of goofy humorous lyrics and non-sequitur noises on top of incredibly catchy hooks led me straight down the path of wanting to discover more music like his.
If I were rating solely on importance and influence this would get a 5. On its own merits it gets a 4 for me. Some of the noise is just a bit too much. But this is something everyone should listen to and the hits are excellent. Really like Lord Only Knows. Where It’s At is a classic.
This is one of my favorite albums from childhood my teen years. I always liked Becks weird lyrics and unique sounding style of rock
I really like this album. He’s able to blend multiple genres really well. I don’t even mind the electronic parts.
To me, this was more of a sound collage than an album. Much of it sounded like Beck asked "what if the Beastie Boys took a step closer to the blues" (Dust Brothers production confirmed my suspicion on that front) to mixed results. While this was impressive as a package I can't say I particulalry enjoyed listening to it very much. There were a lot of harsh electronic sounds which my ears did not like hearing at all (the worst offender being "Computer Rock" the 43 second finale that was 43 seconds too long) and the singing was not very good. There was also just too much going on sometimes. Beck is clearly a talented guy but i don't see how I'd ever want to hear this again.
Its ok
obviously influenced by a variety of genres, so it’s experimental, catchy, fun - so glad I for this first listen (from my birth year!)
Beck was one of the greatest to do it! Such amazing songwriting and production all over this thing. The delivery Beck deals out is so iconic, it’s both and hilarious and upsetting that he went on to make such boring folk music after being so quirky on this album.
Great nineties throwback, Beck's called styles always keep things interesting
Really solid album. I favorited at least 4 songs. Another example of an album I’ve never listened to in its entirety but heard multiple iconic songs countless times.
Truly awesome.
I didn’t mind this. An interesting hip hop rock fusion. Worth a listen. 3.5 stars
A quintessential 90’s album: detached, ironic, eclectic. Beck obviously listened a lot to beastie boys and Bob Dylan. Pauls Boutique is one of my favourite albums so as Beck brought in the Dust Brothers for this, of course I like it even if it’s a bit derivative. It doesn’t have the trailblazing feel and energizing rap-interaction of the beastie boys or the lyrical depth of Dylan, but it’s not cat shit either.
Okay Beck. I like some later stuff. Ramona is top notch.
Have listened to this album maybe 1 or 2 times before in the past but never really "listened". I like it a lot, a lot of cool stuff and interesting songs.
Holds up!
Another album that was so much more than I was expecting. I had heard a few Beck tracks before but had never really enjoyed them. I'm not entirely sure why because I thought this album was really good. So many influences that it's difficult to put a label on the genre - some rock, some pop, some soul, some blues etc.
I remember the first time hearing this album and I got Where It's At stuck in my head for about a week. And it happened again and im sure it'll be there for another. Thanks project.
That cover alone gets 5. How cute is that dog? The singles are great and the rest is pretty good too. Not difficult in any way to listen to although I’ll forget most of it in an hour. Solid 3.5.
This was a tough one for me. I really liked this album when it was released, then I soured on Beck, and now, I can't really listen objectively. I liked a lot of what I heard, and though it doesn't sound nearly as fresh as it did upon release, there's a lot of cool stuff going on. But listening to the lyrics, I couldn't help think it was a bunch of nonsense. Back in the day it seemed offbeat and funky, now it sounds like refrigerator magnet poetry. So, am I just being a little bitch? Possibly. But I was lukewarm throughout this listen, so Beck and his Scientology friends can go dance in the desert without me.
This seemed really exciting at the time. But there's a reason I haven't spun this in nearly 30 years: it's too much style over substance. he is a good songwriter, but he didn't step up to the plate on this one. His next one, Mutations, is fantastic, though.
I love this album so very much that I can overlook Beck's Scientology background. But good news---I don't even have to overlook anything because in 2019 Beck claimed, "I'm not a Scientologist, I don't have any connection or affiliation with it." That's where it's at!
Beck could use a Red Bull.
D Lieder tönet für mich oft echli dünn und flüchtig, wie nöd ganz fertig gschriebe. (verwandt mit Steiner Flughafebeck?) Eigentlich schöni Lieder, biz groovig, weisch nie was chunt, aber für mich au nöd extrem packend

I like this album a lot. It's kind of weird, lots of beeps and boops and noise throughout. Hotwax feels like a successor to Loser. I was already familiar with The New Pollution, just from Spotify pushing it to me, and I like it a lot. Derelict is very odd in a good way. Sounds like very few other types of music. I was also already familiar with Where It's At. Pretty good but not my favorite song on this album. I like the whistling opener on Sissyneck. Jaw harp on Readymade is fun. Also the crackles and other noise. High 5 weirdly reminds me of Get Low by Lil Jon. The "three, six, nine, damn she fine" part matches up with "high five, more dead than alive" matches up in my brain. It doesn't actually match but I still hear it. Ramshackle is a nice chill song. Very pleasant. I had to listen to Jack-Ass and Diskobox on YouTube. Jack-Ass is pretty good. Diskobox is nuts. Would causally listen to this album in the future.
fav songs: devils haircut, hotwax, jack ass, minus i like this vibe of rock don’t know how much id replay though
No. 62/1001 Devils Haircut 3/5 Hotwax 1/5 Lord Only Knows 3/5 The New Pollution 3/5 Derelict 2/5 Novacane 1/5 Jack-Ass 3/5 Where It's At 2/5 Minus 3/5 Sissyneck 3/5 Readymade 3/5 High 5 1/5 Ramshackle 3/5 Diskobox 1/5 Average: 2,14 I liked his more melodic approach on Sea Change way better. This was just too experimental for me. Also I don't like how he handled the inclusion of different genres. There is nothing coherent that binds the songs together. The genre jumps were just too dramatic for me.
Rappin' Pavement, pretty good. Alt rock with some great guitar sounds, genre-bending songs, warbly off kilter vocal delivery and a very practiced looseness. I both hated this and was intrigued by it when I was like 11 - I always listened closely to figure out why I didn't like it, until I started to actually really like it. One of the the best iterations of the eclictally ironic but earnest postmodern gen-X spirit.
Very experimental and most of it works. Very solid album. Not all of the experiments work but most of them do and I will revisit this album. Good addition to the book.
I really didn't have any thoughts on this album, 2.5 stars if I could
yeah decent, not bad
An album that I listened to
88/100
I like a lot of Beck stuff but the gimmick does get a bit stale.
8/10, gentle mood old rock love the drums
Some decent tunes on there I remember being miffed that I couldn't copy it in 1999. Didn't miss loads
The lyrics are mostly random bullshit and it's great artistic expression. The personality of Beck shines through as a laid back loser and it really does sound like it was made by a guy who did way too many drugs and just created an image for himself. Really good and unique. Im Jammin this was a good album.
Beck is way too cool. Great album!
Futurama reminisce pushing it up to 4 for me!
Favorite Tracks: Hotwax, The New Pollution, Novacane, Where It’s At, High 5 (Rock The Catskills), Ramshackle
pretty good
A bit too noisy for my preferences. I like melodic Beck a lot more, and that only shows up on a song or two here. This still has a lot of famous songs, but they aren't my favorite songs. Liked it, didn't love it.
Или съм преуморен и всичко ме дразни или тия са твърде хипстъри преди да е имало хипстъри.
