Negative Positive
Title: Beck. Bringer of musical goodness to the world.
Review: Boy, when I first heard about this one, I was really up in the air about it. How could he pull it off? After being tagged as the "Mr.Prolific-90's-Guy", after blowing up the grammies and music magazines by singing of death and rotting things, and being nothing but cool since 1994, how could Beck Hansen pull off a carefree party record that wreaks heavily of 60's/70's lounge and his own sexuality? The answer is Yes. And pretty freakin' well. This whole record easily takes "Willenium", "Ricky Martin", and "Genie in a Bottle" and scraps them, compacts them, adds spice and makes a greater party record than any other artist ever could, while maintaining something that has been alarmingly absent in recent recordings: Lasting Power. This just gets better every spin it gets, and hence gets my highest rating of 5 stars. An instant classic by an amazing artist.
