STEREOPATHETIC SOULMANURE
Stereopathetic Soulmanure is the second independent studio album by American alternative rock musician Beck, released on Flipside on 22 February 1994, a week before the appearance of his Geffen debut Mellow Gold on 1 March. The album shows a strong folk influence, consisting of home recordings, studio recordings, live performances, field recordings, sound collages, and abstract noise experiments. -Wikipedia

Definitely meant for Beck's biggest fans and collectors, but I'd recommend this album to anyone with an open mind. This will make a great addition to your collection.

While there are some bona fide keepers strewn throughout Stereopathetic Soulmanure's 23 tracks ultimately deliver an extremely mixed aural bag that provides some insight into the cavernous genius of Beck.

All Music
Essentially, the record was both a palate cleanser, one designed to scare away the "Loser" fans, and a bid for indie credibility, since the music on Stereopathetic is equally as uncompromising and as unlistenable as Sonic Youth or their many imitators at their most extreme.

Mr Hipster
other than being an interesting one-time novelty, there’s little to grab ‘hold of, and is ultimately kinda unlistenable
-
Magic Spiral
It’s just plain fun to listen to experimentations that would later be developed and refined, and would eventually pay off in his more renowned works such as Odelay.

Rock Salted
Some bag on Stereopathetic Soulmanure as an inferior Beck release, but I think it’s easily one of his best albums.

UCC
Although, at 23 tracks total, these songs don't manage to justify purchasing the album. This one is for fans and completists only.

Critical Masses
The variation within his takes on popular music actually kind of make sense these days, but on Stereopathetic Soulmanure, Beck stretched the definition of cohesion to its breaking point.
