Hmm, that's tough to say..... I'll have to give some thought to that.

 

[yoshifumi]

i think it's pretty good...it sounds a lot more like odelay than his last few albums, but not quite as good as odelay.

 

[enjoy bell woods]

It's decent. Amazing is going way overboard.

Yeah I'd say it's just about on par with Odelay which is why I probably like it so much.

 

[SteveMeister]

It's a very good album. I'd agree & say it's similar to and on par with Odelay.

I'm a huge Beck fan, have been for almost 10 years now and I can thankfully say that Guero is a worthy addition to his discography. I've listened to the album 3-4 times now and my early impression is that the album is very good but probably my least favorite of his major label albums. My early favorite song is Girl, but that's because i'm a sucker for catchy pop songs with background vocals. Here is my order of best to worst (even though all his albums are great) Beck albums.

1. Mutations
2. Odelay
3. Sea Change
4. Midnite Vultures
5. Mellow Gold
?. Guero

Sounds like Odelay because of the Dust Bros. being back on the production side. Why don't these guys do more work, they're awesome...

way way way way overboard. who really want beck to go back to this sound?

way way way way overboard. who really want beck to go back to this sound?

I do. I prefer the more hip-hop funky fusion styled Beck outings to his folky albums.

I did. I was disappointed when he went away from it, to be honest. I don't have a problem with artists growing and changing their style, but I preferred Beck's earlier sound, and so I also don't have a problem with him returning to it.

 

[Silkworm]

I like folky Beck and I like funky fusion Beck. Of course I have yet to purchase a folky Beck that I didn't like whereas Midinite Vultures did not float my boat. But his ability to switch back and forth keeps both types fresh IMHO. Go Guero!
