Title: Is it just me or is Beck's Odelay one of the best albums of all time?

20 years+ and still listen to it every couple months and still holds up incredibly well.

Pretty much every song is perfect. Great album.

Give it another 300 years and people will look at Beck as the Bizet of our time

Spin gave it a 10 at the time. :doge I remember when he put Guero out and it got endless Odelay comparisons for obvious reasons and my initial thoughts were 'come on man this is good too' then I went and put Ode on and went 'Fuuuck this is one of the best albums ever'. So uh, yeah, 100% agree here.

It's great and technically better, but I have more nostalgia for Mellow Gold.  :doge

Definitely check the deluxe version if you haven't for some reason as expands with b-sides/Deadweight.

Also his newest album Colors is the best thing he's done in years.

Best no.

Best party album yes.

It takes you from backyard beer and bbq summer afternoon vibezzz into shirtless jager shots in the kitchen until you pass out.

I don’t like Colors  :lol sounds too much like everything else in the pop genre he’s attempting to mimic. Don’t like the production.


Beck albums ranked for me:
1. Mutations
2. Odelay
3. Guerro
4. Sea Change
5. Modern Guilt
6. Midnight Vultures
7. One Foot in the Grave
8. Morning Phase
9. Mellow Gold
10. Colors
11. The Information because I can’t even remember any songs off it but it was alright

and Song Reader is hard to place since even though he wrote the songs he’s not playing or singing them.

it's easily the best album at what it does and it does it so effortlessly, i'll give it that. had you asked me in 1998, this album would've been in my top 10 but through the years, my love for it has withered away and i can only really appreciate it in small chunks

I could never really get into the slower stuff like Sea Change/Morning Phase. Maybe should try again now that I am getting old.  :lol

Always liked the more experimental early stuff like the Stereopathetic collection, but again that is nostalgia talking.

The Information was one of the last CD's I remember buying physically, it had DVD and stickers included, was pretty cool. Album itself was kind of inconsistent, but that is case with most if his stuff...still some great tunes, Strange Apparition is one of my faves.

The 90's album I keep coming back to is Rubberneck by the Toadies. Possum Kingdom is a skip for me (heard it too much) but the rest of the album is great.

It's no Guero but it's still great.
