I bought this on cassette in 1994 and really liked it. Since selling all my cassette tapes in 2013 I have been waiting for a vinyl reissue. Finally came out in September of 2025. This is a hodgepodge of styles with Beck&#8217;s often humorous lyrics.   The first track &#8220;Loser&#8221; was a top 10 hit and brought him international recognition. There are Folk songs: &#8220;Pay No Mind&#8221;, &#8220;Nightmare Hippie Girl&#8221;, Hip- Hop: &#8220;Soul Suckin&#8217; Jerk&#8221;, &#8220;Beercan&#8221;, Country &#8220;Whiskeyclone, Hotel City 1977&#8221; and the redneck lo-fi: &#8220;Truckdrivin Neighbors Downstairs&#8221; that begins with a couples argument Beck taped outside his house. &#8220;Blackhole&#8221; is an acoustic number with Beck&#8217;s laid back vocals. &#8220;Steal My Body Home&#8221; is a very slow song with Beck singing in a low voice that sounds like it&#8217;s played at the wrong speed, so I decided to play it at 45 rpm. The song sounds more normal at that speed. &#8220;Mutherfuker&#8221; has a Noise or Industrial sound to it. I may have had another tape of his and I did have the Sea Change record but sold it. Looking at my downloads I see I have 19 releases from him the latest 2014s Morning Glory. Maybe I&#8217;ll listen to them and make a Best of Beck tape sometime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third release from Beck and the first on a major label.
