Editorial Reviews
Beck is back with an album certain to reshape the form of modern music in his unique style. Beck's artful blend of everything and the kitchen sink is a modern music style that defies simple description. The only categories he easily fits into are hugely popular and critically acclaimed, as evidenced by the success on both fronts of his previous releases Mellow Gold, Odelay and Mutations.

That's the kind of thing Beck can not only get away with, but succeed at. I think it's because all the songs on this album, and the album as a whole, manage to replicate &/or sample and then combine sonic bits of several decades of popular music. And if you've been a fan of wildly different genres of popular music across that span of time, you will hear it in his songs, but combined to beautiful effect like never before, almost as an homage. Everything from girl-group harmonies, Prince-like R&B falsetto, disco synth and hooks, hard rock guitars, brass sections, Stevie Wonder-like keyboards, Zappa-like jazzrock bits, R&B groove, Pink-Floyd-Wish-You-Were-Here acoustic guitar, Neil Young-ish country rock melancholia, Parliament/Clinton-esque funk and sax, Air-like synths, 80s/early 90s video game synth sounds, Steely Dan-session jazz-pop musician perfection, electronica, synthpop, blues harmonica, and country twang is represented here. Beck and his producer are the maestros conducting a fabulous orchestra made up of the last 40-50 years of American music. It will move your feet and your soul and make you think -- and parts are absolutely gorgeous. The electro-trip-hop-country-rock-pop combination of musical genres is a pastiche that is rich and satisfying, lyrically compelling, with a nearly non-stop SERIOUS GROOVE from beginning to end. The sampling, the instrumentation, the combination of old school analog instruments (including brass and strings) with 21st century synths, technology, and sampling -- it's utter genius. The songs and the production, when you listen to the entire thing all the way through, may make you feel like you just had a few puffs off a bong packed with high quality medicinal... even though you haven't.
Track listing (*** are my faves -- there are a lot):
Sexx Laws <--the hit single: pop, synth, muzak, and a strangely perfect banjo-synthesizer break in the middle
Nicotine & Gravy*** <--lovely funk here
Mixed Bizness*** <--fun, funny, funky and grooving
Get Real Paid <-- electronica with drum machines and video-game synth sounds
Hollywood Freaks*** <---dystopian groove with Beck's rhyming and rapping
Peaches & Cream*** <---AMAZING, hilarious TRIP-HOP GROOVE (w/tiny bits of Pink-Floyd Wish-You-Were-Here-like acoustic guitar)
Broken Train*** <--psychedelic. The bass and dropped-in sax funk it up (& the ascending "sha-la la-la la-la-laaaah" refrain)
Milk & Honey <--strangely hard rock edge here with Zappa & the Mothers jazzy instrumentation -- yet groovy
Beautiful Way*** <--SIMPLY GORGEOUS melancholic trip-hop with country twang, harmonica, beautiful harmonies
Pressure Zone <---catchy synth-pop with fuzzy guitar and fantastic chorus that slips in and out of a groove
Debra*** <--a gorgeous, sexy, silly groove with horns, string bass, Moog, and Beck's falsetto
There's also an Untitled track following Debra that seems to start KMFDM-ish industrial, go through Zappa-influenced muzak, back to 90s Ministry industrial.
Some of Beck's song lyrics here describe a near-future fascinated-but-angry trappings-of-wealth-and-celebrity-obsessed contemporary society with dystopian cyberpunk scifi poetry -- a cross between a Cronenberg film like Crash (the *other* Crash that erotified car accidents and their brace-wearing, crutch-using survivors), Bruce Wagner (screenwriter of Cronenberg's viciously satirical film Maps To The Stars) and William Gibson or Paulo Bacigalupi. Lyrics such as: "Wearing hepatitis contact lens" . . . "I'll feed you fruit that don't exist" . . . "we drop lobotomy beats evaporated meats on hi-tech streets...neon mamacita eat at taqueria pop lockin' beats from Korea" . . . "You look good in that sweater and that aluminum crutch" . . . "the snipers are passed out in the bushes again. . . . there's only rehashed faces on the bread line tonight, soon you'll be a figment of some infamous life; billionaires smile like weapons passing out platinum pensions". . . "in the aluminum sunset drinking from a drain. . . .No it isn't funny living in a garden of sleaze Bangkok athletes in the biosphere Arkansas wet dreams we all disappear Kremlin mistress she slips me roofies". . .
Seriously. Buy this. If you like Beck, you will LOVE THIS. Even if you are kind of "meh" about Beck except for his hits -- you'll probably still really like this, because it's just that good.

Whether it's the languid melodic liquid mercury of Beautiful Way, or the wry humour of Loser, or the quirky playfulness of Where It's At, Beck is in every instance an artist's artist.
No pude hacerme de él hasta ahora.
Me ha agradado muchísimo y agradezco al vendedor por hacerlo posible.
