1001 Albums Summary

E-pro: Really like this one! Heavier than I expected from what little I know of Beck. Reminds me of Jack White's later stuff (I promise I don't mean that as an insult) Que' Onda Guero: I really like the instrumental here, but Beck's rapping is not my favorite. Song has a good energy to it. "James Joyce"? Genius claims this is in reference to the stream of consciousness style of the song. Interesting. Girl: Doesn't catch my attention mostly, really liked the slide guitar solo though. Missing: I enjoy the strings, but also doesn't catch me besides. Black Tambourine: Love the beat here, I don't know what kind of drums those are but I love them. The distortion on that guitar makes this one of my favorites in the album so far. Earthquake Weather: Strong intro, is that a harpsichord? Hell Yes: Not enjoying the hook on this song. Love the instrumental though. I'm noticing a pattern with the more hip-hop influenced song on this record where I really enjoy the instrumental but find Beck's delivery weak. Broken Drum: Love the guitar tone, reminds me of an Orville Peck song. Per wikipedia, apparently Jack White actually did play bass guitar on this record. Makes sense. I didn't know Jack White had ever touched a bass though! Go It Alone: Great bass and rhythm generally but otherwise a bit sparse. Farewell Ride: I'll never say no to slide guitar. Rental Car: The heavily distorted guitar from the first song is back! Happy to hear it again.
