- Midnite Vultures is a very quirky and creative album. It's certainly intriguing. Does it feature some of my favorite Beck material? But does it offer up enough solid material to earn the status of a good album?

In response to this Beck tore relations with both studios and received the summons to the court from both labels. The result of this long-term process between the musician and the company is still unknown. In November 1999, the Midnite Vultures disc saw light.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Them Crooked Vultures
By calling the muted psychedelic folk-rock, blues, and tropicalia of Mutations a stopgap, Beck set expectations for Midnight Vultures unreasonably high. Ironically, Midnite Vultures doesn't feel like a sequel to Odelay -- it's a genre exercise, like Mutations. This time, Beck delves into soul, funk, and hip-hop, touching on everything from Stax/Volt to No Limit but using Prince as his home base. He's eschewed samples, more or less, but not the aesthetic. Even when a song is reminiscent of a particular style, it's assembled in strange, exciting ways. As it kicks off with 'Sexx Laws,' it's hard not to get caught up in the rush, and 'Nicotine & Gravy' carries on the vibe expertly, as does the party jam 'Mixed Bizness' and the full-on electro workout 'Get Real Paid,' an intoxicating number that sounds like a Black Album reject. So far, so good -- the songs are tight, catchy, and memorable, the production dense. Then comes 'Hollywood Freaks.' The self-conscious gangsta goof is singularly irritating, not least because of Beck's affected voice. It's the first on Midnite Vultures to feel like a parody, and it's such an awkward, misguided shift in tone that it colors the rest of the album. Tributes now sound like send-ups, allusions that once seemed affectionate feel snide, and the whole thing comes off as a little jive. Musically, Midnite Vultures is filled with wonderful little quirks, but these are undercut by the sneaking suspicion that for all the ingenuity, it's just a hipster joke. Humor has always been a big part of Beck's music, but it was gloriously absurd, never elitist. Here, it's delivered with a smug smirk, undercutting whatever joy the music generates.
