Guerolito

Last Sunday I was hearing my favorite radio program: "The good fellows" the only ones who have said that Guero is a good album, that Beck isn't completely lost has some critics have been writing (basically those who first said Guero was Odelay 2 without even hearing the album and then where surprised that it wasn't so and just concluded that it meant he had lost himself, perhaps because he didn't do what they're expecting a commercial album, although Odelay has never been a commercial album).

In the end what may be the truth is that they can't understand why a musician who has the opportunity to make easy money doesn't sell himself and does exactly what he likes music with passion, with soul, not caring about what others say about his music . For me albums of true musicians (that is, those who don't sell themselves) are gifts for the world to express and share their own inner worlds. Beck has always been one of these musicians and that seems to bother some people...

This all to say I had read just a week before a bad review for Guerolito and The Good Fellows passed lots of songs of this album of remixes (saying they had been hearing this album the whole week) and they seemed rather interesting not bad has the review stated.
