Title: Good but not the best
Product review: It would be hard to follow up a masterpiece and be even half as successful as Beck was. "Wired" is a good album, yet I feel that it's not quite as focused or innovative as "Blow by Blow" was. It does start out great, and "Led Boots" with it's heavy intense funk, is a highpoint, but it doesn't go on so well from there. There's a few mellower tracks that were written by Narada Michael Wilson that aren't as memorable, and "Blue Wind" isn't that great to my ears. "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" is another slow ballady song, written by a legend (Charlie Mingus), but it doesn't have the effect that "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" did on me. Maybe i'm being too harsh here, and maybe I should let it stand on its own. However, you'd expect top grade quality from Beck, especially after following up something so great. It's worth a listen, and again it's all based on preferences. Don't get mad at me for having my own opinion.
