'No Bad Tracks' Does Not a Classic Make

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (8/10)
Okay, so what if 'Odelay' has no bad tracks? Does that make it some kind of instant classic? No. Frankly, listening to the critics in 1996, they talked about 'Odelay' as if it was the second coming of a heavenly being. And while 'Odelay' is interesting, it still doesn't compare to anything else Beck made because Beck has shifted his attention every album... There are similarities between 'Mellow Gold' and 'Odelay' and 'Midnight Vultures' and there are similarities between 'Mutations' and 'One Foot in the Grave' as well... but not enough to outweigh the differences. To those criticizing him for 'trying to be cool' do us a favor and actually listen to the whole album a few times and then go pick up stuff from 'Stereopathetic Soulmanure' and 'Mutations' and tell me if it all sounds the same.

I highly recommend 'Odelay' as an addition to any true music enthusiast's collection, and I would hope they get the rest of Beck's studio works as well...
