Beck - Guero

Beck has always seemed to have an affinity for Mexicans, which really comes through on Guero. This is his most Mexican album. It's filled with the sort of beats you'd normally associate with hip-hop, and because of the Mexican connection, it sounds like Control Machete is going to kick in at any moment, especially on the title track.

Anyway, as I descended into Beck madness, I found that I hate a lot of his work, but this album gets a pass. It's just good enough to keep around.

Baleeted? No. The title track and "Girl" are this album's saving graces.
