Advantages: Consistent

Disadvantages: Too calm for me

Mutations is kind of a regression to old school techniques for Beck. far more emphasis on acoustic guitar ballads and obvious lyrical content than on the flashy, diverse approach of the (superior, in my opinion) Odelay. It seems to me a bit like a more mature re-working of the mindset he had when making Mellow Gold, but with higher production values, and a little less insanity. As such, this is one that could divide Beck fans - and I, for one, would rather have spent my monet on something else. I don't want to criticse the album - it doesn't deserve criticism - but as Beck goes, this one isn't really for me.
