This album is awesome. If you like beck you will cream your pants for this. The Dust Brothers, producers of his first album Odelya, are back for this, Beck’s 8th album. Beck is the guy everyone knows for the song loser, off of his Odely album, but he is so much better than that song. Guero goes back to the sound that Odelay had, after venturing in very different directions with the 6 albums in between, and I don’t blame him for going back to his roots because it worked. I shouldn’t give the impression that those 2 albums are the same, because in odelay beck sounded like an eager kid, now he sounds like a bummed out old man. This album hops around from genre to genre with the weirdest shit you ever heard thrown in. The song Emergency Exit actually incorporates a modem dialing noise, and it sounds good. There is also a great album of remixes done on all the songs of this album (called Guerolito). Broken Drum is one of my favorite songs on this album, and it is remixed by Boards of Canada, which makes it great. Go it alone is a phenomenal song, and Que’ Onda Guero makes me smile every time I hear it.
