Mutations by Beck: I'm over the rails and out of the race

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 12:55:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GregRadiohead - Mutations was one of the very first CDs I ever bought. It's kind of surreal to be sitting here, a decade later, writing a review of it. I've listened to the album so often that I have almost ceased to hear it anymore; it's become part of my DNA...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scapp70 - Mutations – Beck Like most other people who pay attention to music, I had first heard of Beck in 1994 when his debut album, Mellow Gold was released. The successful single Loser seemed to be everywhere and accepted by all, even...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jacfu - Beck? I never thought could be!Surely this is better than Odelay? Don't care what anyone say! It took a while to get into this album, but once I got it, it stuck! Did I think Leonard Cohen was in Beck's head when he wrote this? Don't know! But c'mon...

Sun, 29 Aug 2004 02:19:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gpnicker85 - By the time 1998 had rolled around, Beck Hansen had gone from an L.A. street performer to one of the most critically acclaimed Alternative artists of the 1990's. 1994's MELLOW GOLD and 1996's ODELAY were both critically acclaimed as well as far exceeding...

Mutations by Beck: Moanin’ to die

Mon, 19 Nov 2001 21:45:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Daniel_Rf - Beck’s first (widely distributed) album, ”Mellow Gold”, was a pawn shop. The follower ”Odelay” was a junkyard, and his most recent work, ”Midnite Vultures”, was a neon graffiti spray painted on a wall in some obscure back alley of a...

Mutations by Beck: much better than midnight vultures

Mon, 17 Sep 2001 22:43:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author duke101 - This is quite simply a Beck album for all the people out there who don't really like Beck. If you're looking for another "Loser," you'll only find it here in the lyrics, the music and even Beck's trademark vocals take on a major overhaul from the raw...

Mutations by Beck: Thoughtful Beck

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 01:08:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jasonmv1701 - Beck is one of the most eclectic and varied musicians in our time. His first album, "Mellow Gold," was nothing like its title, being a screaming collection of teenage angst headed off with the first track and hit "Loser." His Grammy nominated follow up...

Mutations by Beck: A Message To the Evacuated Heavens

Tue, 3 Jul 2001 14:16:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author redsox75 - When I want to write a review and I can't decide on what to write about, often I go to a record I really enjoy. This is the case here with Beck's Mutations

Beck Hansen is the definition of eclectic. He can go from a countryish song,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Musical_Guru - Oh, my. Oh, wow. Oh, holy God.

Now I could lie and make myself sound like the pretentious music scholar that I consider myself to be anyway, but this is the sheer truth of the matter: I bought this album because I thought that the silver...

Mutations by Beck: Everyone needs Mutations

Thu, 7 Dec 2000 20:06:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wiberg - Of all Beck albums, Mutations is probably the most cohesive - the melodies, lyrics, and relaxed mood make this album an easy listen all the way through. I hate to label it "rainy-day music," but it definitely requires a thoughtful listen-to at...

Mutations by Beck: Folk Meets umm Beck

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 12:23:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fred_dude - Well Becks career has been a different one. When loser came out Beck was held responsible for creating the theme song of a generation. On Odely he showed us there was more to him than being a loser. Now he has taken his music to an extreame. No more...

Mutations by Beck: A superb throwback to Beck's early days....sortof

Thu, 20 Jul 2000 02:41:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jelloman79 - I have to admit the first time i listened to this album i was a little disappointed. It was one of those things where you love an artist so much that even if you don't really like an album you still defend it. I think that disappointment was rooted in...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bailar - With every Beck album I buy, I enter a new world of sound. Thanks to the new technology of computers, I can catch a few notes of a few songs of each album I wish to buy. When I heard the sound clips of this album, I said:"Hey, its Beck, it has to be...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Cormsypoos - When I heard about Mutations, I ran to my closest music store and paid graciously, signing my name on my debit card receipt with hands shaking in anticipation. I sprinted out to my car while using my keys to undo the stickers and cellophane, practically...

Mutations by Beck: Soul Stripped Bare

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 18:22:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mmudr75388 - Odelay it isn't. Mellow Gold it isn't. Midnight Vultures it isn't. What it is is Beck's true feelings, if you take away the dancing robots and drum machines of Odelay. As much as I loved Odelay, I feel that this is a finer collection of music. Don't...

Mutations by Beck: Beck - always a winner

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 21:21:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - Beck is one of the most talented singers/songwriters of the 90s, and is sure to be force in the 00s music scene. (That's 2000s.)

The best song to me is "Tropicalia". It's catchy and smooth. It brings to mind the jazzy lounge...

Mutations by Beck: Mutations Is Where It's At!

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 20:08:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FlutterGirl - (Note: I wrote this in December of 1998.)

Over two years ago, the critically-acclaimed *Odelay* was introduced to an audience which snapped up its block-rockin' beats and synthesizer-created sounds in almost a nanosecond. Last month,...

Mutations by Beck: Tune a liscious

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 21:31:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tollboothjoe - I find Beck to be one of my favorite artists of the 90's. His music is very diverse, and always has a catchy beat to it. And he draws from so many genres of music: Folk, Rock, Pop, Blues. It's all there. His album 'Mutations' is no slouch. I always...

Mutations by Beck: Fine Mutation

Sat, 18 Dec 1999 06:53:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_burrell - I like everything about this album. How can you not like an album that has Beck on the cover sporting a haircut that looks like Luke Skywalker's?

After hearing Beck on 'Mellow Gold' and 'Odelay' i was thoroughly impressed. i remember...

Mutations by Beck: Not for the masses

Fri, 17 Dec 1999 16:29:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chris23 - Listeners of Beck may be surprised at this non-follow-up album. Unlike his big commercial successes Mellow Gold and ODelay, Mutations is less samples and beats, more soul and composition. Could be described as a matured version of the great One Foot in...

Mutations by Beck: Mutations a Hit

Thu, 9 Dec 1999 21:51:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jfrink073 - Beck: Mutations is one of the very best albums I have ever heard. Beck uncharacteristically goes mello in this album and entertains the ear with such fun songs as Tropicalia, Lazy Flies, and, my personal favorite, Bottle of Blues. Each time you listen...

Sat, 13 Nov 1999 00:59:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lorax - this is a good album, and quite different from anything else beck has released. it's mellow, almost sonorous at times, a clear divergence from his earlier works. in contrast with his other albums, this one seems a lot more like "art". it come...

Mutations by Beck: Serious Beck

Thu, 30 Sep 1999 02:21:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tuner - This CD is the standout in Beck's short but impressive career. That doesn't necessarily mean that it is his best (I still think Odelay takes that honor) but it definitely sets itself apart from his usual brew of soundbites, samples, and loopy beats...
