I also think this is by far and away Beck's best album.
I've never heard any albums, especially prior to 1995, that sound anything like this. He would get brownie points for originality alone.
I liken MellowGold a little bit to Radiohead's Pablo Honey. They were both good, rocking music, but nothing that adventurous yet. Then, Beck and Radiohead both ventured out with their next album. Beck hit his stride, and every track on Odelay is solid. I've been a little disappointed with everything he has done since then, but that's just because he set the bar so high with this one. However, I really don't like any of his new stuff. I mean Guerro was his only new one I found listenable.
