Midnite Vultures
by Beck
The 1640th greatest album of all time
Midnite Vultures is a 1999 Beck album that blends alternative rock with funk, disco, R&B and electronic elements. It emphasizes groove and texture, pairing live horns, tight bass and guitars with synths and programmed beats, and features playful, often ironic lyrics and vocal stylings that include falsetto. The result is an eclectic, party-oriented record that foregrounds rhythm and studio sheen rather than looser, sample-based collage.
