A perfect fusion of Sea Change‘s melodicism, Midnite Vultures‘ throwback rock, and Odelay‘s block-rockin’ beats, Guero doesn’t really break new ground for Beck. But it certainly shows that, as he’s developed new tricks, he’s still extremely strong at the old tricks. Unless Radiohead suddenly arrives with a surprise release, I doubt you’ll take a more entertaining musical journey all year.
In five words or less: Vividly entertaining but not substantial.
