23 tracks of relief for those who suffered any regret buying Beck’s debut album Mellow Gold on the strength of the catchy (and funky) Loser hit. On the sleeve, Beck Hansen strums banjo besides an ice-cream stand, wearing a Star Wars Imperial Stormtrooper mask, daring the world to take him seriously. The record company Geffen did, and this album example of the slacker artist’s early years (1989-'93), highlights the bravery of their decision. Beck and his loft-dwelling pals take a good shot at wooden-porch blues, Deliverance-style hillbilly, Tom Waits, Sonic Youth and country rock, punctuated with what sounds like acid-befuddled diary entries. Worth pursuing.
Tracklist:
Pink Noise (Rock Me Amadeus) Rowboat Thunder Peel Waitin' For A Train The Spirit Moves Me Crystal Clear (Beer) No Money No Honey 8.6.82 Total Soul Future (Eat It) One Foot In The Grave Aphid Manure Heist Today Has Been A F***ed Up Day Rollins Power Sauce Puttin It Down 11.6.45 Cut 1/2 Blues Jagermeister Pie Ozzy Dead Wild Cat Satan Gave Me A Taco 8.4.82 Tasergun Modesto
