Data Insight

The loudest record he made, and the one with the most hands on it: production is spread across Beck and several collaborators rather than concentrated in one partnership. The writing stays his, so the album is a change of costume rather than of authorship.

Midnite Vultures is Beck's seventh album, released on 15 November 1999 through DGC. Eleven tracks of funk and R&B pastiche including 'Sexx Laws'. It reached number 34 on the Billboard 200 and number 3 in Japan.
