Devils Haircut

[3] Victoria Segal from Melody Maker wrote, "The original "Devil's Haircut" is the Beck we all know, love and hope doesn't move in next door with his weird pets and garden sculptures.

It starts like a Sixties stripper bar band [...] and goes on to puree hip hop, blues and lunacy into one springy pop tune while Mr Hansen rambles space-cake poetry about mouthwash and briefcases over the top.

"[4] After the song was ranked number six on the magazine's "Singles of the Year" list in December 1996, they added, "Rickety hip hop propping up a twisted R&B tune, stabs of country and electro, ridiculously abstract lyrics which somehow made sense.

CD #1 had "Trouble All My Days", an early song from 1993 which is characterized by deep, distorted vocals and Beck's thrashing his loosely tuned strings.

"Trouble All My Days" had been featured on "Pay No Mind (Snoozer)", Golden Feelings and two other releases prior to its inclusion on "Devils Haircut" CD #1.

Another remix, "Richard's Hairpiece", was done courtesy of Aphex Twin, in which the riff is removed, and Beck's vocals are sped up to the extent that his voice is extremely high-pitched.
