Odelay - Beck

If you like Beck, you can't get much better than this album. This is Beck at his most talented, yet he retains all that unusual, subversive charm which flows through everything he does. Where It's At, Novocane and Devil's Haircut are highlights for me, but every song on this album stands up to close scrutiny. Odelay is eclectic, diverse, compelling, and indicative of an outstanding talent. This was the album of the year for me back in 1996, and I still like it. Well recommended. ...

woohaa,i can still remember how much i used to listen to this cd. Out of the albums beck has made, ive heard them all and i own two of em. this is the best (in my opinion) cd out of them. Beck as an artist has an increadable style somewhere between rock/pop/country its a brilliant concept in music. The whole cd is quite light hearted which i really appreciate. I would recomend this to anyone even though its pretty old now its still the best hes made. ...
