Everytime I get a Beck album I get really excited, listen to it, hate it, put it on the cd case and let it age for sixth months...inievitably I will pull it back out, listen to it, think "this isn't that bad", then listen again and think "I like four or five songs a lot" the listen again and think "this album kicks butt" and wear it out listening again and again. Beck is one of the few artists who are a little like a cigar.
