A Pop Post-Modernist Gives Up on Irony
BECK sees dead ends everywhere on his new album, Mutations. Creativity and culture are played out, love has faded away. There arent even any new jokes to be told. Who wants to be there to sweep the debris, to harness dead horses? he sings. Well, for the length of the album, it seems that Beck does. He contemplates entropy and decay with his most lucid and unguarded songs, as he renounces his old studio tomfoolery. Some of the songs could be about long-lost love, but nearly all of them also read as impressions of a time when the only certainty is a free-floating sense of loss..

A Sound Arranger With an Ear for Pop
MOST SUCCESSFUL POP musicians have a knack for writing unforgettable melodies, lilting harmonies, exquisite arrangements, irresistible rhythms or revelatory lyrics. Beck, the 25-year-old Los Angeles faux naif who refuses to acknowledge that his one hit (Loser) has any musical or cultural significance whatsoever, possesses some of these gifts. But he has two things that are more important: raw instinct and a restless creativity. Whether lazily rattling an acoustic guitar or piecing together an elaborate sonic web, Beck is guided by an ear for sound and its placement in space. He has been called a slacker rapper, an indie bluesman and a Gen X Dylan leading a new folk revolution. But the truth is that Beck is a sound arranger. His songs only seem randomly constructed, strummed or sung; in truth, to remove a single lyric or sound from a piece would destroy it. His music appears unwieldy, on the verge of collapse, yet like a spinning top it has a momentum that keeps it from crashing to the ground.

Critics Choice: New CDs
Beck Guerolito (Interscope) Remixing means never having to say youre done. Guerolito contains remixes of every song on Guero, the stoically death-haunted album Beck released in March. A connoisseur of samples, Beck chose remixers from underground and overground hip-hop, electronica and French pop. He apparently limited their leeway; most follow the original song structures and keep vocals clearly audible. These remixes are not dance-floor deconstructions but full-fledged alternate productions.. Jon Pareles Critics Choice review of new CD by Beck; photo (M)

A Rock Comedy Without Punch Lines
LAUGHTER is the immediate response to most of the songs on Becks sixth album, Midnite Vultures -- so much so that it could be called a comedy record. But its a comedy record in the sense that intelligent directors make comedy films: its one big aesthetic disposition, rather than the series of bulletlike jokes on what are commonly called comedy records by the likes of Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Midnite Vultures is funny without making actual jokes. (Its last track, Debra, is the only song with something resembling a narrative.) Beck has a pitch-perfect ear for pop-music convention, but Midnite Vultures presents a kaleidoscope of folly; it doesnt stand still long enough to make single punch lines. If it had to be compared to a particular film comedy, it might be Quentin Tarantinos Pulp Fiction, with its vivid language, cartoonish exaggerations, sendups of eroticism and self-importance and sequences of script and action that leave your jaw hanging. Midnite Vultures (Geffen DGC 0694904852) is inscribed with all of the above. And as with that movie, there are bound to be critics soon accusing Beck of racialist caricature; he has never gone so far before in the direction of mockery..
