While I think 'Guero' is an awesome album, there are few tracks that would make me go back for more. Don't ask me why, it just does. If you'd like a slow song with noisy, distorted vocals, this song is just for you. It's haunting, sad and above all, beautiful. From beginning to end, it's non-stop AWESOME-NESS!!! Much like 'Motherfucker' and 'Sweet Sunshine', it's noisy and distorted, but don't think that just because of that it's going to be exactly like those two songs. I'm not sure why, it just does.Again, I'll be honest with you, Beck's album 'Modern Guilt' really didn't do much for me. But all the faults aside, it deserves a spot on this list.Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I've heard it all before: This song is dull, this song is boring, etc. I LOVE IT!Debra is a groovy, funky R&B song that finishes off 'Midnight Vultures' with a bang. The last song on 'Sea Change' entitled 'Side of the Road' certainly packs a punch. I feel as if this song should be higher on the list, but I don't think I like it that much. It's really a 'You love it or you hate it' song. With a catchy bass riff and awesome vocals, 'Orphans' is a song that will play over and over in your head through out your day.When I first heard 'Mutations' my favourite song off the album was 'Diamond Bollocks'. This is my top 30 favourite Beck songs (in order from worst to best, 30=Worst, 1=Best). : nonsensical lyrics, a predilection for ‘beats,’ an affinity for bluesy guitar textures and audio collage, comical self-effacement.
A lot of Beck's best songs are the ones people don't talk about, but now I'm getting off track. Just letting you know.)
I'm not saying it's a bad album, I'm just saying it never really did much for me. I had heard other songs from the album before that, but 'Tropicalia' was the song that made me buy the album.
The songs themselves aren’t simply attention-starved amalgams strung together randomly though: For all his humor, Beck is consistently thoughtful and earnest in building his checkered monuments, empathetic to the point where his creations often cease to be facsimiles at all, but heartfelt creations born from the same cultural conscious that inspired them.
Spatial restraints forced me to neglect “Totally Confused,” “Fume,” “Rowboat,” “Nausea,” “Gamma Ray,” “Girl Dreams,” “Mexico” and “In A Cold Ass Fashion,” all tunes that would certainly make my personal Surrealist soothsaying disguised as a coffeehouse trifle, “Bogusflow” appears on the ubiquitous ’90s compilation Covered by none other than Tom Petty, who knows a good song when he hears it, this song from the terrific When word got out that producer Nigel Godrich — something of a King Midas of ’90s alternative rock — was slated to produce Beck’s 10th album Sure, if you strip away all the fancy production gloss and ear candy from “Nobody’s Fault But My Own” you’re basically left with a pretty good Oasis song. Other than that, the song is beautiful. But this languorous highlight of the Nigel Godrich-produced An easy, rolling country number, “Sleeping Bag” is one of the best of Beck’s early “serious” numbers (see also: “Devil’s Haircut” is the best of the three singles from Unless you hung out at Seattle’s OK Hotel on open mic nights in the early ’90s, or were on the mailing list for Bong Load Records (don’t lie — you weren’t), chances are, “Loser” was your introduction to Beck. "Watch out son, I've got a Taser gun, Watch out---" Ugh! I don't have much to say about this song, just go on YouTube and listen to it. I feel as if Beck's latest stuff is kind of flat, if you know what I mean.
