| Odelay (Music) | comment |
Odelay is the second official studio album by American Alternative Rock artist Beck, released in June 1996 by Bong Load Records (in conjunction with DGC Records in the US and Geffen Records abroad). It was produced in part by the Dust Brothers, who also worked on the classic Beastie Boys album Paul's Boutique, and many similarities can be seen between the two, almost to the point where Odelay can be summed up as "the alt-rock version of Paul's Boutique".The album further established, and even accentuated, Beck's eclectic mix of hip-hop, rock, folk, country, and soul, among other genres. Producing several singles ("New Pollution", "Where It's At", and "Devils Haircut", for example) that became favorites on Alternative Indie radio as well as MTV, Odelay proved after Mellow Gold and "Loser" that Beck wasn't a One-Hit Wonder.The album peaked at #16 on the Billboard 200, eventually selling over 2 million copies in the US, and served as Beck's first hit album in the UK, reaching #17. Odelay won two Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance ("Where It's At"), and was also up for the Album of the Year award.Not to be confused with the catchphrase from PB&J Otter. | |

Special Guest: Legendary jazz bassist Charlie Haden plays on "Ramshackle".note His daughter Petra later appeared on the song "Emergency Exit" from Guero. Mary-Lyn Rajskub appeared in the video for "The New Pollution", albeit several years before her role in 24. | |

Teenage Wasteland: The girl in "The New Pollution" seems to really get around. The song itself could be a crypted critique of the hedonism within teenage culture. | |

Rated M for Manly | |
| Odelay (Music) / int_4da6ac | comment |
Rated M for Manly: "Hotwax", which seems to be about how Beck wants to prove himself by putting himself out there. At the end, he morphs into an "enchanting wizard of rhythm" to tell kids about "the rhythms of the universe". | |

Fake Loud | |
| Odelay (Music) / int_6dc7d2c | comment |
Fake Loud: The distorted screams in tracks such as "Minus" and even in "Novacane" don't actually get much louder thanks to all the heavy production, but they do sound unnerving. | |

Careful with That Axe | |
| Odelay (Music) / int_9da3227a | comment |
Careful with That Axe: Throughout the album, more often than not distorted and compressed. "Lord Only Knows" starts with a hearty scream that's either horrifying or hilarious. The end of "Minus", accompanying the collapsing guitar section. The end of "Sissyneck". The chorus of "Hotwax" has some extremely distorted shouting of the lyrics in the background. "Where It's At" has a startling distorted shriek at around the midway point. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Odelay (Music) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: After every heavy song, a usually softer, more melodic song follows; "Jack-Ass" follows "Novacane", "Sissyneck" follows "Minus", and "Ramshackle" follows "High 5". Probably done on purpose. | |

Shout-Out: The "rhinestone life" on "Sissyneck" is a nod to the Larry Weiss/Glen Campbell hit "Rhinestone Cowboy". The secondary title of "High 5 (Rock the Catskills)" is a pun on The Clash's "Rock the Casbah". | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Odelay (Music) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to Mellow Gold, this album is, for the most part, a lot more accessible and lighthearted, with more of a party feel to it. This almost wasn't the case, as some of the earliest material he recorded before he decided to work with the Dust Brothers was far more depressing and acoustic themed - of these songs, only "Ramshackle" made it onto the record proper, though "Brother" and "Feather in Your Cap" were included as bonus tracks on the deluxe edition. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: All we know about the place in "Where It's At" is that it's got "bottles and cans" as well as "two turntables and a microphone", all pretty commonplace in bars and clubs. Beck still makes it sound exciting. | |

Broken Record: The phrase "I got two turntables and a microphone" gets repeated by a distorted voice in the background of "Where It's At", in an increasingly louder manner until it's just filtered through as fuzzy noise. | |
