Beck Offers Up an Appealing but Strange Invitation

by lambchops, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Sep 11 '04
Pros: Appealing songs, much creativity, full of personality...
Cons: .
Beck was always an odd fellow. I remember first hearing and subsequently seeing his first video for the slacker opus Loser. I loved it, thought him to be hilarious and wanted to hear more. At that time all I could hope was that he would follow ...

Anywhere Odelay Is Playing Is "Where It's At"

by PacManY2J PacManY2J is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 19 '08
Pros: Fun, diverse, and enjoyable from start to finish
Cons: none
Beck's 1994 smash, the quirky slacker-rap known as "Loser," had one-hit wonder written all over it. Sure, "Loser" was so oddly brilliant that it was destined to be a '90s classic, but I think most people, myself included, were shocked that he returned ...

Inventive, ironic, funky and humorous.

by jeff_wilder78 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 14 '02
Pros: Inventive music and lyrics.
Cons: May take a few listens to get into.
Those four adjectives (No, and is not an adjective) could be easily applied to Beck's Odelay, along with a ton of others. But the bottom line on Odelay is that it is one of the most satisfying albums ever recorded. Some people may think that's too hasty...

new word in the dictionary: odelay, (n), perfection

by gpnicker85 , Apr 09 '04
Pros: every song is tremendous, unique, hip, underground, catchy, my favorite cd
Cons: you won't like it if you have bad musical taste, end noise is annoying
Best song: Where It's At Worst song: Derelict It's really taken me a long time to get around to this, but I finally am able to finish reviewing my top 5 cd's of all time, and I saved the best cd for last. After this, i suppose I can start reviewing ...

That Is a Dog on the Cover...isn't it?

by jasonmv1701 , Aug 14 '01
Pros: A plethora of great songs, musical styles working together for mutual understanding
Cons: One question: WHY RAP?!?
Beck was one of the first people from the '90s that I got seriously into. As many people know (not you people, but other people that know me personally), I am a serious classic rock fan. As a result, I didn't really listen to much '90s music, and I...

I liked Odelay the first time, when it was called Mellow Gold.

by jennifer_nine , Nov 01 '01
Pros: A very defining album from the mid-90s.
Cons: 0

Beck talks of fields and photographs so comfortably on these tracks, that it beckons repeated meanderings of thought. The sunshine thoughts that bypass cowering reasoning, the thoughts that zip by on the highway. It’s the writing style that has...

Pure Musical Genius

by carlykay , Jul 05 '00
Pros: really great, different songs
Cons: some songs are hard to listen to
Beck is truly one of the most important musicians of our time, and Odelay delivers all that Beck promises: interesting music, experimental sounds, cool lyrics, and a lot of fun.

I bought this album because I liked Where It's At and New...

Odelay is where it's at

by e_burrell Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 29 '99
Pros: One of the defining albums of the 1990's, Intelligent lyrics, Great hooks, sampling, and musicianship
Cons: The cd booklet does not contain the lyrics for these great songs
Beck has earned his reputation as being one of the most talented artists to come about in the last few decades. With "Odelay" Beck not only improves upon his major label debut "Mellow Gold", but he has managed to take so many...

This Album Ain't No Loser

by MattA75 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 15 '00
Pros: vastly original, shows Beck's knowledge of pop music history very well, a musical adventure!
Cons: not for everyone, but rather for the person who can deal with many musical genres being in one song, not just one record
Back in 1994, after the popularity of his hit Loser finally began to die down on both radio and MTV, Beck was for the most part, labeled a one hit wonder who we would probably never hear from again, at least not in any major way. The small...

The master of surprise

by Anti-Normal , Jun 01 '00
Pros: sounds and great songs
Cons: few slow boring songs
Beck is so creative.......its hard to understand how much talent he actually has. He incorperates so many sounds in his songs that its hard to hear them all. In his new "party" album he uses alot more synths and sound machines.....that its...

Ode to Odelay

by Cormsypoos , May 14 '00
Pros: totally hip, weird, fresh, fun trip
Cons: not for the conformist (does that count as a con?)
ILOVEITILOVEITILOVEIT!!!!! Beck once again proves himself to be THE MAN. I've been told that Odelay is a gringo-cized prounciation of "orale" a slangy Californian-Spanish term that means "listen up" and is all a moment of...

Beck- very cool, not quite a genious

by charl11 , Dec 01 '00
Pros: unique, interesing
Cons: some really bad songs
I have heard many praise Beck as a genious. I agree that his music is unique, interesting, and fun to listen to, but I wouldn't go as far as the "G" word.

On "Odelay," Beck really shines as much as he has in his career....

Beck is an awesome and talented performer!

by jammal , Jul 01 '00
Pros: The songs all have an individual sound!
Cons: Nothing...It's awesome!
I think that Beck is such a great performer. He has his own unique style.
I admire him for being himself and creating his own style. His album Odelay is awesome!!!! This is a good CD to listen to from the beginning to end. It's not one of those...

Beck's Best

by Mustang17c , Aug 13 '00
Pros: unique, covers many genres
Cons: none
Beck is one of the finest artists in music today. He combines the many different sounds of music and actually makes it sound good. He is more of an artist than a musician. "Mellow Gold" was Beck's first album which contained the hit 'Loser'....

Mmm.... Beck....

by KubrickFan , Jul 26 '00
Pros: Not too long, not too short, non mainstream
Cons: Hm... Nothing!
Odelay is so unlike every album by every artist, even Beck himself, that it's hard to classify it. It's almost techno, almost pop, almost rock and roll, but not quite. Odelay blends all of the above into one awesome album.

Just how good is it?...
