Farin Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Odelay ~ Beck # "Devils Haircut" - 3:13 # "Hotwax" - 3:49 # "Lord Only Knows" (Beck Hansen) - 4:14 # "The New Pollution" - 3:40 # "Derelict" - 4:13 # "Novacane" - 4:38 # "Jack-Ass" - 4:01 # "Where It's At" - 5:30 # "Minus" (Beck Hansen) - 2:31 # "Sissyneck" - 3:53 # "Readymade" - 2:37 # "High 5 (Rock the Catskills)" - 4:10 # "Ramshackle" (Beck Hansen) - 7:30 Odelay fuses the disparate strands of Beck's music -- folk, country, hip-hop, rock & roll, blues, jazz, easy listening, rap, pop -- into one dense sonic collage. Songs frequently morph from one genre to another, seemingly unrelated genre -- bursts of noise give way to country songs with hip-hop beats, easy listening melodies transform into a weird fusion of pop, jazz, and cinematic strings; it's genre-defying music that refuses to see boundaries. All of the songs on Odelay are rooted in simple forms -- whether it's blues ("Devil's Haircut"), country ("Lord Only Knows," "Sissyneck"), soul ("Hotwax"), folk ("Ramshackle"), or rap ("High 5 [Rock the Catskills]," "Where It's At") -- but they twist the conventions of the genre. "Where It's At" is peppered with soul, jazz, funk, and rap references, while "Novacane" slams from indie rock to funk and back to white noise. With the aid of the Dust Brothers, Beck has created a dense, endlessly intriguing album overflowing with ideas. Furthermore, it's an album that completely ignores the static, nihilistic trends of the American alternative/independent underground, creating a fluid, creative, and startlingly original work.
