Our Review

This album is Mastered for iTunes. When he was growing up in East L.A., Beck was sometimes called "guero," which is Spanish slang for "white boy." The word also doubles as the title of Beck's first full-scale collaboration with the Dust Brothers since the two worked together on the 1996 genre-hopping masterpiece, Odelay. Like that earlier album, Guero takes disparate elements-slide guitars, Brazilian rhythms, and hip-hop beats-and melds them together into a unique, cohesive whole. The highlights here include "Girl,' a potentially dark tale of obsession that breaks into a bright summer chorus of shimmering harmonies, and "Earthquake Weather," which saunters past like a menacing gangster before bursting into a Brian Wilson-like falsetto. Overall, this album feels more restrained than Odelay; it's as if marriage and fatherhood have steadied his creative hand. While not as wildly exuberant as Odelay, the more mature Beck of Guero edits himself with greater precision, which helps him push his best ideas over.

Customer Reviews

One of his most solid and consistent albums (5 stars)
Let me start by saying that Beck is one of my favorite artists. I've picked up every record since his lo-fi EPs back in the 90s. That being said, I really think that this album, as a whole, is his most solid. Yes, the singles are catchy, and back in 2005/2006 you couldn't escape that beautifully distorted E-Pro, or the poppy Girl (with its dark, tongue in cheek "what did he just say?" lyrics snuck right in) - but honestly those are

Awesome (5 stars)
I've had Girl in my head for years.

Awesome album (5 stars)
I can't believe the previous reviews rated this album so poorly. This album is fantastic. Wonderfully written with great production by the dust brothers. A must have for any Beck fan.

Biography

Born: July 08, 1970 in Los Angeles, CA
Genre: Alternative
Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Initially pegged as something as a voice of a generation when “Loser” turned into a smash crossover success, Beck did wind up crystallizing much of the post-modern ruckus of the ‘90s alternative explosion, but in unexpected ways. Based in the underground anti-folk and noise-rock worlds, Beck encompassed all manners of modern music, drawing in hip-hop, blues, trash-rock, pop, soul, lounge music…pretty much any found sound or vinyl dug up from a dusty crate, blurring boundaries and encapsulating how...
