"Vietnam vet playin' air guitar..." Odelay would later herald Beck as pre-Millennial jester without compare, but 1993's Mellow Gold finds Beck slumming in The City of Angels, working in a video store for four dollars an hour. Quite rightly, he's got the blues, but there's plenty more besides. Mellow Gold is a grimy Polaroid of fried white-trash invention. Reconciling the painfully fashionable grunge aesthetic with the drunken verbiage of the Beat Generation, Mellow Gold founded the slacker generation, and "Loser"--the opening track--became its unofficial anthem. A concept album of sorts, Mellow Gold narrated the backdrop of Los Angeles as seen from the bottom of the dustbin, framed with the impoverished strains of fractured, missing-stringed folk and ramshackle white-boy hip-hop. Time would prove, though, that Beck was no slacker; Mellow Gold provided the scrawled blueprint for Beck's next major label album, Odelay which would prove one of the defining albums of the 1990s. --Louis Pattison Review: Good album - My son asked for this and really likes it. Product as advertised. Review: music for real people - conformists look else where. - Rediscovered the amazing world of beck! It's been so long since I went on holiday to new York as a 17 year old lad and hearing one of his songs in a dinner. I loved it. I immediately rushed out to get his albam and then for several months, played it to death! Until today, whilst roaming through desertcart music store and stumbled across mellow gold! Gold it is!!! I keep listening and listening. Fantastic if your that way inclined and not a radio one, x factor loving conformist.

Timeless classic
I bought this album on ' tape ' way back in the '90s and played it repeatedly for weeks on end . Nearly 20 years on i bought it on CD and it seems as fresh now as it did then if not moreso . An excellent piece of work !

Fabulous!!!!
This is amazing. He is such a strange talent, and very underrated.I can't stop playing Steal my body home. It's just totally hypnotic. Wish I had taken more interest in him tears ago.

Maybe this is the first album of the rest of your song?
I could tell you how marvelously diverse the album is and how talent shines through the songs but i just did so I won't bother but it is and does. Beck isn't a loser but people that don't buy his albums are.

Beck is the bomb. Turn it up loud and you will like one of Beck’s best releases.

Magari si producesse ancora roba così. Bei tempi andati. Beck un talento. Grande anche la band. Una perla dei ‘90. Entra piano piano, proprio come i grandi album. Mix interessantissimo di vari generi, come Beck e il suo gruppo sanno fare.

Peut être le plus grand (et finalement un des seuls) classique des nineties. Mais classique de quoi? La décennie a compté au moins un classique du rock ("Nevermind"), beaucoup de classiques de rap et certainement un paquet dans la musique électronique. Mais dès cette époque la tendance devient (pour le meilleur et pour le pire) l'hybridation. Alors on pourrait dire que "Mellow Gold" est un sommet de l'hybride, un mélange de styles, une marmite démente dans laquelle mijote les éléments les plus disparates. Il y a de ça mais ce serait trop simple. Surtout ça ne rend pas véritablement hommage au génie (oui...génie) du Beck. Quand j'étais au lycée un mec m'avait demandé: "C'est qui Beck?". J'avais alors répondu tout à fait spontanément: "Un pur dieu". Evidemment la suite de sa carrière montrera clairement son côté savant fou. Cette capacité incroyable à comprendre comment telle ou telle chose fonctionne pour l'intégrer dans un alliage étonnant et inattendu. C'est au fond un des principes les mieux ancrés de la culture Geek. Mais c'est aussi, en un sens, l'un des dons qui a guidé un Dylan à travers les années (les siècles?). Ou pourquoi pas un Prince. Beck est il fait de ce bois là? J'avoue que pour moi la question n'est pas tranchée. Je ne sais pas. Mais "Mellow Gold" l'est c'est sûr. Et l'homme est certainement un très grand songwriter. Pour moi Beck c'est un chanteur folk, peu importe la façon dont il habille ses morceaux. L'influence hip hop, qui fera en grande partie le succès de cet album, coule finalement de source. Sur les morceaux les plus marqués (dont le fameux "Loser")Beck collabore avec l'épatant Carl Stephenson. Un homme qui semble avoir disparu de la surface de la terre. Auteur à la même époque d'un disque totalement novateur et fou (dans le sens Brian Wilson du terme) et qui ne sortira que trois ans plus tard: "Forest For the Trees". On croise beaucoup de choses sur "Mellow Gold": Dr John, les Beastie Boys, la Carter Family, un pastiche de Blowing in the Wind, un autre de "Satisfacttion", Captain Beefheart, Allen Ginsberg, des voix trafiquées, des fantômes du Bayou, du psychédélisme, un zest de punk et peut être même les chiens de l'enfer lancés aux trousses de Robert Johnson. C'est toute la force de cet album de ne pas produire une sorte de cauchemar informe. Tout simplement parce que tous les morceaux sont excellents et surtout magnifiquement écrits. Beck un vrai songwriter. Et ne vous y trompez pas. L'album ressemble à la pochette. Comme s'il avait été construit à partir d'éléments récupérés dans une décharge publique. Mais la production est admirable. Un travail de maniaque. Tout est à sa place et en même temps tout sonne remarquablement spontané. Du très grand art.
