Title: Very cool. Lots of fun.
Product review: Guero sounds pretty much like one would expect Beck to sound at this point in his career; in essence, it sounds like Odelay if Odelay had been made after Sea Change. This isn't a fault against the album; in fact, I appreciate how the maturity demonstrated here doesn't dull the fun. "Qué Onda Guero" is a definite highlight, as is the cheerful "Girl" and opener "E-Pro," which sounds roughly like Beck channeling Joan Jett--which works much better than it sounds. This isn't the genre-defying masterpiece that was Odelay, nor is it on par with Beck's opus, Sea Change. But it's /good/ music, dammit, and that doesn't come around every day.
