Review

1000 albums! Let's party like it's 1999! But really we should save it for tomorrow where I'm actually getting to 1001! And then filling up two older reviews! And we can celebrate then again! And then the updates 20 albums which will require another celebration. Oh and I got some money I was owed today! Yay!

So Beck has given us innovative sample music, great acoustic stuff and with Guero he pretty much mashes these two together to make something new and yet strangely reminiscing of his previous stuff.

So I am again quite weary of recognising the crazy scientologist's quality. But he is good and you need only put on E-Pro to realise it. That being said this isn't really the strongest of his albums. So fun and all but not really up there with his best stuff, Odelay will always be Odelay.
