you're not human if you don't like sea change
I'll give that a listen next.
Sea Change is super mellow (and very good), but if you like Guerro then you should give Midnight Vultures a listen. It's upbeat, funky, and fun!

Guero
Modern Guilt
The Information

And then I really don't like Sea Changes or Morning Phase.

Sea Change is by far my favorite Beck album. HIs vocal style just lends to that style really well to me

I hated Odelay when it first came out. It was a huge disappointment for me. I learned to enjoy parts of it, but I still think it's a turd.

If he had finished the album he abandoned before Odelay, it would have been incredible. A lot of those songs are still unreleased and super rare.

Mutations brought back my faith big time, but then there was Midnight Vultures...another one that doesn't impress me much.

It seems like he has been repeating this back & forth pattern ever since.

I actually like Guero a hell of a lot, and I don't consider it to be of the same ilk as Odelay & MV.

It was a huge disappointment for me that he went the "Loser" route with "Odelay". I still consider that a huge cop-out.

The album that he abandoned was a straight-up depressing "rock" album, with amazing melodies and instrumentation.

Mutations was kind of like this, but acoustic and more upbeat.
