This collection of songs - don't waste your time looking for coherence - dates from the very beginning of Beck's career. Back then he just played in any bar that would let him, slept on the street, mooned cars, stole beer... Quite a contrast with his recent shows with neon lights, sax players, background choir and giant beds coming out of the sky!
I love "Stereopathetic Soul Manure" because it never bores, to say the least: changing from "Pink Noise", a track with a title that's as promising as self-evident, to the beautifully laidback country song "Rowboat" - even Johnny Cash's cover isn't as good as the original! - isn't something you'd expect from "the 'Loser' guy".
After those promising openers you can expect more stripped-down country, some straightforward ("Thunder Peel") and somewhat less straightforward ("Tasergun") rock, hilarious spoken word parts and at times slightly irritating noise intermezzos. He might not do THAT much, but WHAT he does (stamping his foot, preaching like a priest, imitating Ozzy Osbourne, eating Satan's tacos, being hilarious) he does very well. And it's still a lot more than 80 % of the other artists in Ciao's "Indie" category.
