"Good album by Beck, it starts off really strong but kinda dips in quality towards the last 5 tracks (the No Complaints through Motorcade run is particularly a step down in quality compared to the tracks before them). Still, it's a solid record and it has one of my favorite songs by Beck (Soldier ..."  [+]  Reply

"Not mind blowing, nothing really new, but still a solid contribution to their discography. Not sure what else they can do at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sounds like their older stoner rock blended with Villains, in a good way. Songwriting and musicianship are as tight as ever, especially live. The album..."  [+]  Reply

"I was surprised about the brevity of this third album. Generally I like succinct albums that are compact, consistent, and, as short as they are, justify their scope and form. Everything from "Pink Moon" to "You're Nothing" and "Is This It?" have benefited from their short 37- min runtimes, while ..."  [+]  Reply
