DomS.Aug 11, 2003Something has been lost with Mogwai. You could feel it with "Rock Action," but it was easy to welcome the deeper, subtler, more ambient Mogwai as a change from the loud and stark brilliance of "Young Team" and their EP. "Happy Songs" isn't a band that's growing, but more like a practice round for a group of guys with enough talent and eclecticity to make the perfect collection of songs.

DanHSep 7, 2007I actually like Mr. Beast a lot better, despite it being not as well received as this album. Hunted by a Freak is an awesome song, but some of the others can be a tad boring at times. Still an amazing album.

Happy Songs finds middle ground between brevity and meandering.

UncutRefines their grandiose panoramics via electronic gurgles and glitches. [Jul 2003, p.111]

This is Mogwai distilled to their essence, and the result is an album of huge power, emotional depth and feeling, with vocals submerged under a claustrophobic blanket of effects and guitars battling with viola, cello, violin and piano. It's just as Eno as it is S***t, and all the greater for that.
