Beck: Guero
Let me say right now that this is going to be the album for my coming summer, given that it’s got some tasty hip-hop beats and easygoing melodies.
The fact that he’s back collaborating with the Dust Brothers shows through, as it’s somewhat reminiscient of Odelay, though, I’d categorize this album as simpler and far less processed than Mutations, Odelay, or Midnite Vultures.
