This Got so Much Better

After the first installment of Beck's record club, I wasn't sold. The cover of 'Monday Morning' was slow and Beck's voice was, let's say, not optimal for that type of song. Then came the next tracks from 'Velvet Underground & Nico,' and I am eating my words.

'Waiting for My Man' is a song which should sound god awful. Somehow when executed, the off-tuned ill-matching manic instrumentation is so great. Mixed with Beck's through the nose style vocals, this is a keeper.


'Femme Fatale' sounds like a guy rapping on his jeans and stomping while Beck whispers (through his nose again). It's pretty good!

I think we can say that these songs are the OPPOSITE of communism. Sounds horrible on paper, great in reality.
