Data Insight
The Dust Brothers return nine years after Odelay and the writing arrangement returns with them, which is why this is the highest-charting record he has made and also the one most often described as a sequel. Simpson and King's combined credits across these two albums make them his most significant collaborators by a wide margin.
Guero is Beck's ninth album, released on 29 March 2005 through Interscope, reuniting him with the Dust Brothers. Thirteen tracks including 'E-Pro' and 'Girl'. It reached number 2 on the Billboard 200, the highest chart position of his career.
