Music reviews of Guero (W/Dvd)

Music Review: Great DVD w/ over 100 videos
Rating: 5 Stars

Now this is the type of music I like seeing at #1! LAs eclectic genre-hopping white boy is back. Great lyrics, dope beats, and crunchy guitar are all in full swing on this album. If you like old-school Beck then do yourself a favor and hop on this. Also, a good reason to buy this release instead of the regular CD without the DVD is you get 7 more tracks (4 being remixes).

1 problem! A small percentage of DVD players may have problems accessing certain tracks from the Track Menu on this DVD. This issue can occur because of the complicated nature of the D-Fuse content on certain tracks. If your player has problems accessing a particular track from the menu, you can easily work around this problem by going to the track before the problem track, and either skipping or fast-forwarding to the end that track so that the player continues playing into the problem track. This is the only reason i gave this 4 stars is the fact that some people are saying it doesn't work on a few DVD players. I had no problems however.

Now onto giving you an idea of what this DVD offers. I've never seen anything like this DVD before. It will take you through a visually stimulating journey into an amazing record. If you know a little bit about DVD players and if you mess around with it enough you'll be pleasently surprised with what's actually offered on this. With a stunning 5.1 surround sound mix and tripped out visuals by video artists D-Fuse, Guero goes beyond the typical album experience.

Guero is the first-ever global release of a surround sound album in simultaneous release of the standard commercial CD. As another first, there is not only one video for every song on the album but by utilizing the outer limits of DVD technology discussed below, listeners can access over 100 videos.

For all 13 songs on Guero there are 2 video streams (aka angles) and 4 subpicture streams. For instance, when you play E-Pro for the first time, you'll see green jelly fish and a pattern of rounded squares in front of them. This is more than meets the eye, the squares in front of the jelly fish are not part of the video, they are actually part of subpicture stream #1. The subpicture stream is a layer in front of the video that can be turned on, off or even changed using the subtitle button. So, by pressing the subtitle button instead of getting French dialog at the bottom of the screen, on the Guero DVD you can reveal more of the video, access 8-bit images of becks photography, reveal stylized lyrics or even see cute little Atari-looking birds flying across the screen.

Continuing with the E-Pro example if you were to press the angle button on the DVD players remote you will reveal the second video stream on angle 2. In this case, the second angle is a different visual interpretation of becks music by D-Fuse. For E-Pro we go from Jelly Fish to abstract lines and imagery combined with 3-dimentional architectural-influenced designs.

Another cool feature on this dvd is that after you play it all the way through, the DVD will go back to track 1 with a different combination of angle and subtitle without even having to touch the angle and subtitle buttons.

Other features on the disc include:
1. photo gallery of D-Fused Beck Photos
2. the capability to play in several automotive surround sound DVD-Audio players such as the Acura TL
3. more detailed information about the visual in the credits section
4. a couple of easter eggs featuring the official E-Pro and Black Tambourine music videos. When you find the Black Tambourine video, hit the angle button to see the double easter-egg!

Description of Guero (W/Dvd)

(not actual Deluxe Version Artwork)

TWO-DISC DELUXE COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF "GUERO" INCLUDES:

- Full album plus seven exclusive bonus tracks - An exquisite 52 page booklet of art chosen by Beck - Technologically groundbreaking DVD featuring a 5.1 surround sound mix of the album coupled with interactive video remixes of each track (designed by acclaimed video artists D-Fuse). Over 100 unique visual possibilities -- as directed using the remote control's "angle" button

Three years after the critically acclaimed and heartwrenching opus "Sea Change," THREE-TIME GRAMMY WINNER and FIVE-TIME MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARD WINNER BECK returns with his most diverse, accomplished and compelling work to date: "GUERO."

With the raucous first single "E-Pro" triumphantly "na-na-na"-ing Beck's return with a must-be-seen-to-be believed video by Shynola (Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead), "GUERO" both reunites Beck with classic co-conspirators the Dust Brothers and explores territories uncharted by even this most innovative artist of his generation.
