Nicotine & Gravy

This CD rocks!!! At first, I was a bit dissapointed at Nicotine & Gravy video, but after viewing it while I was inspired, I loved it. About the tracks, Nicotine & Gravy is one of the best from Midnite Vultures. It has that special style that drives you into the song. Midnite Vultures is one of the best songs I have ever heard (it is a shame that it wasnt included in the album that has the same name). Zatyricon is a good track, but the other too are much better. So, what are you waiting to buy this CD!!! If you think you are a Beck fan, buy it now, it is a must in everyones collection.

This review is for the two B-Sides and the video of 'Nicotine and Gravy' only.

Another reviewer's comment that the song 'Midnite Vultures' should have been included on the album of the same name is, as is everything written here, a matter of opinion. In my opinion Beck was right to leave it off the album - it would have been a real low point and out of step with the rest of that release. It plods, is only an average Beck song and it is in no way similar or as good as 'Nicotine and Gravy', 'Pressure Zone' or the equally slow 'Beautiful Way'.

The track Zatyricon is the worst thing I have heard Beck put his name to.

Which leaves the video - a cut and paste, animation affair that actually detracts from the great track it accompanies.
