With its sonic fusion, samples, and experimental talent, Odelay takes a massive step back and quickly propels ahead, as if Mellow Gold wasn’t the weirdest thing on his discography.
The Midnight Cowboy-esque “Devil’s Haircut” opens the show, while “Where It’s At” mixes Napoleon Dynamite synths with a backtrack “two turntables and a microphone” lyric and catchy tunes. “The New Pollution” mixes a party with some urban jungle tunes, and “Ramshackle” gives us a wild closer.
All in all, the most sold and successful album Beck has ever produced.
