The 90's most overated album....

Review Score: (6/10)
After the release of Odelay, Beck was compared to everyone from Bob Dylan to David Bowie. However, even though this cd isnt bad, it definately doesnt live up the hype that surrounds it. While songs like "devils haircut" and "jackass" are good, theyre not great. Most tracks find themselves weighed under by overproduction and some sound almost amatuerish at best. Dont get me wrong, this cd isnt bad, its just not that good either. If looking for something to purchase by Beck, start with Mellow Gold and work your way from there...
