Beck's best

Review Score: (10/10)
It's been over 7 years since Beck released Odelay, one of the most diverse and fun rock albums I've ever heard, and it's still one of the best ever made by anyone, in my humble opinion of course. What amazes me is that the general public doesn't even know who he is, or, if they do, don't appreciate how great his music really is. Most people hear Beck and give one of two responses: 1) "Who?" or 2) "Oh yeah, he's the guy that did that song Loser, right?" Loser is Beck's one and only claim to fame in mainstream America, but everyone else knows that Odelay is his true masterpiece. Each song is so incredibly different and original, it's hard to believe one guy could have so many different musical ideas. Beck draws influences from just about every musician ever to sing a song or play an instrument it seems. This is one you can listen to over and over and never get tired of.
