Title: No Bueno
Product review: I'm sorry, but this album is boring as hell, and I'm a huge Beck fan. I think the Dust Brothers did a huge disservice to Beck in even taking on the project; It sounds like the Dust Brothers simply put their sonic stamp on it, with no thought of exploring new directions. For me, the best thing about Beck is how each record is a new departure, but this one leaves me wondering if the Dust Brothers simply pieced together recycled material that didn't make the cut on previous records. Even if they wanted to bring back sounds from the past, that would be fine to some degree if the songs were strong. But they are weak. Very weak on the songwriting. I could only listen to the album about three times before I had to put it away from sheer boredom. Sorry to be so harsh, I know we all make mistakes. But c'mon Beck! Take us in a new diection!
