Midnite Vultures was an album that took critics and the public some time to appreciate. Initially, there was confusion about all the humor (a rare thing in music, unless you're like Weird Al) and the form (is he goofing?). But over time, the humor gelled; the seriousness underneath the silliness became evident; it's a tribute and not a parody. It has survived.
On Vultures' 20th anniversary, Beck posted this on instagram, and apt description: "HBD to this strange child of Y2K. An intruder on the threshold of Britney and nu metal. This one has always been a bit divisive. A pre-milennial caterwaul. A dissertation on the fun house of success. Hysteric indulgence and tasteless crucible. Lately, I feel like maybe it's finally found a home. x" | ||
