I tried to get into Beck, but listening to samples I thought it was all mediocre. Anyone give me somewhere to start? (I'm after more electronic stuff unless he's done some really good indie/alternative work) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
he's all over the shop, but has many many good tracks. electronic ? hmm , yeah , electronic ones including |
||||||||
|

|
|
for an intro to beck, definitely check out odelay! nothing he's done before or since then has come close to matching that album's perfection. an iconic album of the 90's. oh, and timebomb, like most of his recent output, is dissapointing at best. of course, dissapointing would ensue that i had good expectations for it, which i didn't. |

Beck hasn't released any truly electronic music as far as i know. but he has made several great "indie/alternative" albums in plenty of different styles... • Odelay is his most well-known album and it's the one which got me into his music — probably the best one to start with. • Mutations is great as well, more moody. • Mellow Gold might be my favourite; it's quirky, ironic, catchy, sometimes lo-fi and pretty unique. • Midnite Vultures is downright funky, completely different from any other album he's made and quite brilliant too. • One Foot In The Grave is entirely acoustic folk-rock. short but with some brilliant tracks as well. • Sea Change is really mellow and melancholic, i like it but some people found it deceiving. • Guero and The Information are the least good of the bunch, though they do have their highlights. |

i give it a six. i would give it a 5 for being completely just... pedantic, but the fact that the synth and hook are somewhat catchy gives it an extra point, even if its just repeating for literally the entire song (seriously, there's one like 2 bar breakdown, but for the rest of the song its *beep*beep*beep* all the way thru). |

Timebomb is mediocre. it just sounds like a Guero b-side to me. : / |

5. i prefer his accoustic stuff by miles but this aint even up with similar stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stereopathetic soulmanure and mellow gold are where to start |
||||||||
|
|

Fact: Sea Change is his best. |

Midnight vultures is better than that one as well. |

Mellow Gold Odelay One Foot In The Grave Mutations Sea Change The Info Guero ---- That's my order. Really hard list to make... the only thing that i'm pretty certain about is which album is his worst. Midnight Vultures. I consider that one an accident |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, stereo pathetic soul manure... hmm.. tick that one in above the info.rmation |
||||||||
|

|
|
a really shitty track this most of you guys are bad at liking beck |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's one of his shorter and less boring tracks for sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont forget the gameboy variations e.p. fun stuff else i agree to odelay as a masterpiece |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate timebomb. i heard live mp3s of it awhile and thought it was a really bland song, and the studio version is just, crappy and pointless. bleh. as for good beck. odelay, mellow gold, seachange, midnite vultures have all had their fare share of play in my life. his endless supply of acoustic songs is the other side of beck which i love him for. |
