Wow - Beck's finest album, no doubt

Review Score: (10/10)
Unbelievable. Beck just splices together apparently every genre of music that exists and goes nuts. From country ("Lord Only Knows") to hip-hop ("High 5 (Rock The Catskills)") to punk ("Minus"), everything here is grounded in some genre but changes the formula up a lot. Most impressive of all, though, is the fact that the songwriting doesn't suffer. Everything on the album is catchy and well-written. If any complaints can be given, it's that th Dust Brothers didn't make as good an album as "Paul's Boutique". But then again, picking on an album for not being as good as "Paul's Boutique" is like criticizing a painting for not equaling the Mona Lisa. One of the 90's most creative albums.
