Guero [VINYL]

Beck Hanson has never failed to deliver on any of his recordings and this is no exception. Guerro is just as smart, energetic, eclectic, diverse and on the money as anything he has produced before. Obviously he knows what he does well and he sticks to it. Some might say he doesn't push the boundaries enough (for instance, there is no thrash/death/speed metal or the like - not sure thats such a bad thing) but as a musician, whose primary focus is the indie pop genre, he is superlative. Everything about the man screams talent; from his choice of wonderful album artwork to the thoughtful, witty lyrical content of his song writing. I hadn't bought a Beck album for a very long time as much of my listening enjoyment, over the past 10 years, has progressed to the individual MP3 downloads.Having recently rediscovered my 70's/80's Vinyl collection I thought I would invest in a few recent vinyl issues of some of my favourite CD-era artists. Not knowing what to expect from new 180g vinyl I have to say that listening to this album the quality on my Pro-ject Xperience 2 is a good as my Marantz CD63-Ki Sig CD player could ever reproduce. Package is average; only unprinted plain paper inner sleeves with plastic liners. Gatefold outer sleeve has reproduced lyrics. This could have been a little more excleusive by producing more artwork on the inner sleeves. I still give it full marks though as these points are a bit nit-picky.

1st beck album i bought coz i loved the 1st song on album , have always respected beck and liked what i hear him do through the years , but never got one of his albums..so i got this..5 stars great album with loads of variery from 70's rock to kinda rap .. funk, rock, pop... good start

great record, if you like Beck you will like this, gatefold 2 x LP's plays 45rpm but, the record arrived without shrink wrap, skips and i've returned it. Beware you may receive a bad pressing like others have. I will buy this again and hope i get a good copy next time.

The info on this says that it is one disc, but it's actually 2 that each play at 45rpm.

Always enjoyed this album but enjoying it all over again on this great double vinyl repressing. Sounds really nice.

Not the better condition... but works fine. good album. the box was a little dirty but a sond had Cd is allways that way... even when it shouldn't.The discs are in perfect condition.

Yesss c’mon!

Loving this album.Odelay was fantastic.This is too.Good grooves 'E-Pro' rocks like a beast and can't stop playing 'Black Tambourine'
