Review

Beck's "Mellow Gold" crashed into the '90s music scene like a sonic tornado, tearing up genre lines and spewing out a wild mix of rock, hip-hop, folk, blues, psychedelia, and even a touch of country. With his DIY ethic, Beck recorded many tracks on a four-track in his home, giving the album a raw, lo-fi charm that's impossible to fake. Critics couldn't get enough of his witty, ironic lyrics and deadpan delivery, praising his experimental approach that thumbed its nose at formulaic pop.

"Loser" and "Soul Suckin' Jerk" are the kind of tracks that get stuck in your head and never let go, blending catchiness with an unhinged, experimental vibe. And let’s not forget cuts like "Sweet Sunshine," flaunting elements of soul and funk, or "Nitemare Hippy Girl," leaning into folk territory. The album’s eclectic mishmash and Beck’s lyrical prowess helped "Mellow Gold" go platinum, securing its status as a seminal '90s album. If you’re into alternative music with a twist of unpredictability, this is your new obsession. - Chase
