BlenderMerritt's lyrics are typically playful, and Claudia Gonson coos them with dreamy detachment. [#9, p.146]
-
MagnetFully realized tracks such as "Affection" and the peppy "I'm A Vampire" are so fetching that they eclipse the rest of Eternal Youth, which is padded with brief, blippy non-songs and is often top-heavy with (literal) bells and whistles. [#56, p.93]
-
Eternal Youth feels like more of a lackluster stopgap than equal-footing sidecar for Merritt's songcraft, a frustrating teaser from the Merritt portfolio of aliases.
-
Its far from the level of a Magnetic Fields release or even The 6ths for that matter and, therefore, wont appeal to casual fans.
