Title: Lifeless imitation of his previous work
Product review: Beck's new album Guero sounds like a mix-and-match of the the styles Beck has experimented with over his past four albums. There are a few gems such as E-Pro and Girl, but otherwise most of the songs seem to fall flat without the flair of Odelay or the emotion of Sea Change. Some songs, such as 'Go It Alone' just fall totally flat and leave you sonically underwhelmed.Beck is still a solid enough songcrafter that the album is still fun to listen to and more interesting than most of the stuff you'll see out there, but in this outing he lacks the experimentation and inspiration that made his previous outings so strong. There's nothing you can get from songs like Que Onda Guero and Scarecrow that you can't get from Odelay, but better, and there's nothing you can get from songs like Missing and Earthquake Weather that you can't get from Sea Change, but better.
