    Beck's taken everything he's good at and made it better.

    While there are enough inspiring moments on here to suggest Beck hasn't yet run out of ideas, it demonstrates that the best way for him to revisit former triumphs would be to travel somewhere new. [Apr 2005, p.92]

    "Girl" is possibly the best song by Beck, even if the chorus is "cyanide girl". I love "Que Onda Guero" 's street sounds. Interesting note, the songs "Go It Alone" and "Farewell Ride" are written in collaboration with the Beastie Boys.… Expand

    beck is trapped in the past, floundering in sunset nostalgia. your days as the fanciful mad-cap hybrid mesitro are through. this i'm sad to say.
