Midnite Vultures is the seventh (and fourth major-label) studio album by American alternative rock artist Beck, released in November 1999 by Geffen Records. Though similar to most of Beck's previous albums in its exploration of widely varying musical styles, Midnite Vultures didn't achieve the same blockbuster success as his breakthrough, Odelay, though it was still critically and commercially well-received.

Midnite Vultures reached #34 in the US, where it went gold, and also hit #19 in the UK. As of July 2008, Midnite Vultures has sold 743,000 copies in the United States.[1]

The album was praised by most critics; Rolling Stone, NME and Pitchfork Media gave it four-star reviews (8.5/10 on Pitchfork). It was awarded the status of 'Universal Acclaim' by MetaCritic with a score of 83/100, but in 2006 was named the 50th 'Worst Album Ever' by Q Magazine,[2] despite the fact that they gave the album four stars.

Midnite Vultures was nominated in 2001 for Album of the Year at the 43rd Grammy Awards.

Several songs were inspired by very prominent 80s acts; "Debra" was inspired by both Prince's hit "Raspberry Beret" and the David Bowie song "Win", while "Get Real Paid" quotes directly from Kraftwerk's Computer World. Working titles for the album included Zatyricon (the name of a song released in 2000 as a B-side on the "Nicotine & Gravy" single and later included on the Beck EP) and I Can Smell the V.D. in the Club Tonight (a line from "Milk & Honey").[3]
