Featured Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Just when you thought the age of irony might be inching toward its protracted end, back comes Beck Hansen, a brainy bear if ever postmodern rock had one, reincarnating himself as a soul man. ...more
Entertainment Weekly
He's given us the year's most relentless gas--laughing or otherwise--of a party album. ...more
Rolling Stone
For all Beck lifts from the Seventies, the album never sounds like a period piece; there's always something extra in the mix, stray elements that are both goofy and strangely apropos. ...more

The A.V. Club
The multi-talented Beck Hansen has an uncanny ability to squirm out of any artistic pigeonhole in which he finds himself. Anyone who sees him primarily as the Gen-X poster boy of "Loser," or even the cut-and-paste artist of Odelay, is behind...read the complete review at The A.V. Club
