Stereopathetic Soul Manure by Beck

Pros: Early look at Beck...
Cons: Bad production, almost zero humor, impossible to enjoy...

It goes without saying that Beck is a unique entity even in contemporary alternative music. He has never followed trends. And while his music generally sells well, it is generally indescribable and always experimental.

From his...

Pros: A few decent songs; a peek at pre-fame Beck
Cons: A long winded mess of an album and without a doubt Beck's worst

Everyone has that one album or artist that really got them into music. Certainly even as kids we liked music, but it was an indiscriminate and child-ish form of liking something. But then--sometime in our adolescence--there's an experience we have where ...

Pros: For Beck fans, this thing is a joy to listen to
Cons: The sound quality is lousy, hard to find, the whole album is basically filler

Pros: Beck grooving without limits
Cons: No Money No Honey and Aphid Manure Heist can get quite annoying

I became a huge Beck fan after i purchased Mellow Gold and Odelay. Since then i purchased three more, Mutations, Midnight Vultures and yes, Stereopathetic Soulmanure. Not one to ever sit on his creative laurels, Beck is always exploring different styles,...

Pros: Beck gives out 23 of his greatest tracts.
Cons: It may be a hard album to find.

Stereopathetic Soulmanure is one album no Beck fan should be without!! Powerful beats, lots of laughs, and 23 of the best Beck tracts you may ever hear are what this album is all about. Along with some of his heavier tunes, what stands out from this...
