The Information

Beck's The Information veers between two distinct styles – the kind of blues/folk/hip-hop mash-ups that Beck has made his own, and a more melancholy, plaintive type of tune that he has increasingly favoured in recent years.

Cellphone's Dead

We should know by now that everything Beck does is drowned in genius. The first track from the Nigel Godrich-produced The Information is so intellectually assured that it double-bluffs us, and cunningly is nothing more than some cool-as-fuck rapping over some funky beats. Ho ho ho – crazy Beck, pretending to be all average and follow the path he’s trodden before. We know better though: this is art.

Guerolito

I’ve always felt that remix albums were a bit of a scam, expecting fans who already bought the album proper to shell out again for a collection of reheats. However, when the album in question is the latest slice of funk, rock and whatever you’re having yourself from musical chameleon Beck and your remixers include the likes of Air, Ad-Rock and Dizzee Rascal, perhaps it’s time to sit up and take notice.

Hell Yes

A Beck remix album? Christmas 2006 must have come early. Sad to report though that this is more of the same overrated, style over substance boilerplate just with a few extra noises and beats. Thanks for that. No really.

Guero

Guero (Spanish for ‘white boy’) represents then is an attempt to reconnect with the slacker who went away. Having downplayed the legacy of Odelay for nearly a decade, Beck has retrieved his baggy trousers and tie-dye accessories and gone back to work.

Beck to the future

As Beck contemplates a belated sequel to Odelay, feel free to ask him any old question you like – just as long as it isn’t about that recent break-up with his long-time girlfriend. Oh, and make sure you don’t have the sniffles. Nadine O’Regan packs a hankie

Heineken Green Energy 2003: Beck

On record, it is sometimes easy for the quality of Beck’s singing to be lost amid the bells and whistles of post-production. Here, a combination of pristine sound quality and the pared-back nature of the performance allows the richness and emotion of his voice to take centre stage
