An easy one for Beck. It's a great track. Peak Beck. And I always feel like I could really like a PJ Harvey track from this era, if only a few things were different. It's never quite right. This one starts off on the wrong foot. Had it been John Lee Hooker's "Black Snake Moan," I would've voted for it.

Re: 90s Cup Round 2 Match 5
That Beck song is a bit of a disaster, isn't it? It's a fairly crappy alt-rock song that didn't have enough weight to it, so they extend it by throwing some silly preset synth sounds over the top. I mean, if you're going to piss about with a track, deconstruct it, don't just stop, make a farty sound and then carry on. It's the cartoon-tie school of wackiness.
And by God, PJ is desperate to drag this dirge out, too. I don't get this kind of tame indie rock, where you want to sound angry and confrontational, but can't be bothered doing anything with the music that might surprise a Status Quo fan. Chug a chug a chug.
Better than that Beck travesty though. B

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Yet another Beck track that underwhelms me though I did like the end part. B gave me a headache

I was never a big Beck fan, but A is okay. Can't listen to the other. Just grates on my ears.

As I said when the first Midnite Vultures song was posted, it's the best Beck album in my opinion, certainly the one I enjoy the most, and, as is the phrase of the comp, "my 90's". Maybe it was released in the sweet spot for nostalgia for me (started getting women interested in me etc) but I go back to it more than the rest even if I'm not 7 cans of 500ml Asahi deep and pining for when S.O.A.P.'s "This Is How We Party" was a new release banger.
