It turns out that 54 minutes is a lot of minutes to listen to Beck. I've always thought that I'd love Beck if I put in some effort, but I've always bounced off his music. Here I am, bouncing off it again. Yeah, it should be on this list, but I won't listen to it again.
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.
Not into it.
Good
I wasn’t able to listen until the end. It was a pain to listen to
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.
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.
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.
Sort of have a harder time w Beck these days but this is still a classic.
