    Midnite Vultures exists largely as satire, but it also serves as an opportunity for the usually cryptic Beck to let his freak flag fly. On the epic, cheesy “Debra,” he hoists it way, way up, further establishing the absurdity of the album’s seedy narcissism by attempting to pick up sisters. The greatest moment here, however, is the supreme elastici...

    Beck’s sense of humor has always been prevalent in his music, but what’s less well-established is how his absurd, juvenile setups often dissolve into black-hearted non sequiturs. “Soul Suckin’ Jerk” is one such reversal, a slacker tale that traces Beck’s working stiff from the food court into the edges of civilization just as its verse descends fro...

    Beck lays claim to legitimate skills on the mic, and they’ve never been stronger or more precise than on “Hollywood Freaks.” Of course, this being Beck, the rhymes come with a twist, delivered in a lisping, nasal drone that’s part Truman Capote and part Sylvester the Cat. All the better for it, considering the slick, springy track boasts the weirde...

    Given Beck’s recent lavish productions, it’s easy to forget that in the early- to mid-’90s he was a lo-fi master. This is nowhere more evident than on 1994’s One Foot in the Grave, a barebones album steeped in folk and blues. Its centerpiece is “Forcefield,” a song built on three simple yet haunting acoustic guitar notes and intertwining vocals by ...

    “Rowboat,” from 1994’s Stereopathetic Soulmanure, is a gently strummed, classically constructed ballad of rejection and loneliness that features Beck’s early penchant for lyrics that alternate between deadpan melancholy (“Rowboat, row me to the shore/She don’t wanna be my friend no more”) and humorous non sequitur (“Dog food on the floor/And I’ve b...

    “Blue Moon” enters Beck’s canon as one of his most emotionally humbling tracks. Much like the naked proclamations of Sea Change, the song is a search for penance, only now Beck is a decade older, holed up in a sparse, dark confessional and looking for a way out. “Don’t leave me on my own,” he cries in a tone that suggests the asylum is of his own m...

    Beck has subverted pop aplenty, but Guero’s “Girl” is one of his few attempts at a wide-eyed tribute. Of course, this jaunty track isn’t without its own morbid farce, tracing the usual tale of obsessive romance to its natural, if utterly psychotic, end. The track breaks away from its 8-bit prelude into a shaggy acoustic guitar as Beck’s stalking na...

    “Defriended” was the first thing anyone heard from Beck in the five years since Modern Guilt, and quite appropriately, the track is built around what sounds like a box of records dropping out of two-story window. The impact ripples out in electronic pulses, almost drowning Beck’s fatalistic lyrics, but his final call to arms, “Turn it all around!,”...

    Cribbing from the eponymous Brazilian art form, “Tropicalia” is bossa nova as filtered through Beck’s dreamlike aesthetic, a clicking, buzzing earworm teeming with cocksure samba beats and enough equatorial style to make even those bored tourists dance in a reptile blaze. Liedel

    Crooning like he’s at a karaoke club in the Gaza Strip, Beck is equally worried about getting shot and ruining his outfit in “Nicotine & Gravy.” Meanwhile, the track sizzles beneath him, twisting with strange laughter, pulsing R&B samples, and the creeping feeling that something really bad and bloody is going on in the streets.
