Favourite Tracks: Colors, Dreams
Least Favourite Track: Wow
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year last month on the 13th October 2017. It is Beck's thirteenth studio album called "Colors".
Beck is an American singer songwriter from California. He has different types of genres when it comes to making albums. "Art pop, Folk, Alternative Rock". Beck has released albums such as "Mellow Gold,Sea Change, Guero, and many more. I have never really been a big fan of Beck's music but if I had to pick a favourite album from him it would be 'Modern Guilt' due to the fact my favourite Beck song is in that album which is called "Gamma Ray". Beck is back after 3 years following up to his previous album "Morning Phase" which was definitely a great album. Which is a Folk album which I found really interesting for beck trying out folk. Moving on to his new album I just didn't understand who Beck was trying to appeal on his new album. This album just made no sense to me at all. We have a majority of fans who think this album is good whereas some think this is Beck's worst album. I on the other hand I am not a fan of Beck but this album is just not good at all. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? I thought this album was just a failed attempt of Beck dominating the charts with songs on this album. I really do not understand why some people may like this album. I can understand why Beck wanted to make this sort of music he probably wanted to appeal more to the young generation since he has had a long career during the 90s.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were only two tracks. "Colors", and "Dreams". Starting of with the track "Colors" which is a decent track I enjoyed the production on the track quite funky electronic to listen to. Great opener to the album. "Dreams" I first heard "Dreams" back in 2016 when I used to play Fifa 16 back in the day. The song "Dreams was featured in the Fifa 16 soundtrack. I enjoyed the song a lot it has always been on repeat for me. Quite liked the guitar reef from the starting of the track. My least favourite track was a track called "Wow" I found this track really annoying to listen to. I simply did not understand the meaning of the track "Wow". The chorus is so weird and annoying.
Overall I did not enjoy this album as I expected. I personally think "Morning Phase" is much better than "Colors". I would not listen to the whole album again but I would only listen to the tracks which were my favourite. I would give this album a 4/10
