Negative Positive
Title: i simply cannot recommend this album
Review: for the last decade Beck has been the iconic master of eclecticism. each of his albums brought a new mix of every possible musical influence under the sun. and they were all, in their way, fun. this music is post-modern funeral dirge music sung without any joy, let alone any sense of melody or hooks. usually i'm not one to chastise an artist for doing something different, for taking a chance. but to go from such a great, visionary producer to making this joyless, spare, and utterly ...tastic record was in my opinion a career misstep. i hope he gets back on track with his next album.
Is the review positive or negative?
