Mutations is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Beck, released on November 3, 1998 by DGC Records. Though less commercially successful than the preceding Odelay, it won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. Mutations was produced by Nigel Godrich, who was well-known at that point for his previous work with Radiohead. The album contains a number of Moog keyboards, acoustic guitars, and string arrangements.

Listen free to Beck – Mutations (Cold Brains, Nobody's Fault But My Own and more). According to party line, neither Beck nor Geffen ever intended Mutations to be considered as the official follow-up to Odelay, his Grammy-winning breakthrough. It was more like One Foot in the Grave, designed to be an off-kilter, subdued collection of acoustic-based songs pitched halfway between psychedelic country blues and lo-fi folk.

Mutations (Beck album). The production style was very different from that of his previous album Odelay, which was heavily influenced by hip hop music and contained many samples. The lyrical content of Mutations is also much more somber and serious than that on Odelay, apparent in the songs "Nobody's Fault but My Own" and "Dead Melodies".

98 Record label: uni, dgc records Genre(s): Rock. 70 Music-Critic Score How the Music Critic Score works. His Own Fault by: bill aicher. Track two of this CD is called "Nobody's Fault but my Own" and in a way - this is a perfect track to describe the future for Beck. Basically, this album will not do nearly as well as Odelay. It is not because the music is bad, not in the least, but instead it is because the music is good. Gone are the hiphop beats, vanished is the saturation of samplers, nowhere will you find a turntable.
