Odelay is the second major-label studio album by alternative rock artist Beck. After the mainstream success of "Loser", Odelay featured several hit singles, including "Where It's At", "Devils Haircut," and "The New Pollution." The album peaked at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and eventually sold over 2 million copies in the U.S.. It was also Beck's first hit album in the UK, making #17; it has since gone platinum in the UK. Prior to the release of The Information, it was announced that Odelay would be reissued and expanded with bonus tracks to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the albums release, though its release was pushed to January 29, 2008.
[edit] Musical Style
Odelay might have been drastically different in direction and style. In 1994, when Beck started to record tracks for his follow-up to Mellow Gold, he recorded a number of songs with Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf of Bong Load, but then decided to work with the Dust Brothers instead. Three songs from these Bong Load sessions have been released: one, "Ramshackle", was included on Odelay, and two others: "Feather in Your Cap," which was released on its own as a single and on the soundtrack to SubUrbia, and "Brother," which was not available to the public until the release of "Jack-Ass" in 1997. All three of these songs are acoustic, sparse, and melancholy, and have a haunting sound very different from the more upbeat, "party" style of Odelay.
[edit] Reception
Odelay won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 1997. It was ranked 16 in Spin's "100 Greatest Albums, 1985-2005". It was voted as the best album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll. In 1998, Q magazine readers voted Odelay the 51st greatest album of all time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 305 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Voters in Channel 4's 2005 "100 Greatest Albums" poll placed it at number 73. The music website Pitchfork Media ranked it at #19 on their top 100 albums of the 1990s.
[edit] Artwork
The album's unusual cover photo, which appears to show a mop head jumping over a hurdle, is actually a real photo of a Komondor, a rare Hungarian breed of dog with thick matted hair. This came after Bush released their album Sixteen Stone, which featured a similar looking dog called a Puli being thrown into the air on the inside cover.
