Beck's Mutations (Silver Liner Notes)

In 1998, Rolling Stone reviewed Beck's latest album saying it "brims with death, decay and decrepitude. But in its own peculiar way, it’s also his prettiest record to date." Beck's previous record had been a kind of reinvention from his debut, and earned him a nomination for album of the year at the Grammys. He followed it up with another metamorphosis, fittingly titled Mutations, released November 3, 1998. For its 25th anniversary, as part of our series Silver Liner Notes, we revisit the album with Nathan Brackett, the author of that Rolling Stone review and current content executive at Amazon Music.
