    Young Team and Rock action are fairly ok, if rather mediocre, records. This one is just crap all the way! Once Mogwai wore t-shirts saying "Blur:are shite", which is funny cos I'm wearing one now saying "Mogwai: are shite". Compared to this horrible album even the much-dreaded "country house" is a timeless pop masterpiece..

    Weak. There is so much better Post-Rock out there, Mogwai are burnt out.Young Team and Cody trample over their recent releases.

    A more straightforward affair than previous works, and as such suffers from predictability.

    Ten years after they first assaulted us, Mogwai remain as vital as ever.

    If you like Mogwai for the sounds they make, for their instrumental dynamic and ebbing/flowing moodiness, you'll probably like Mr Beast - there's certainly little to object to. But if you love Mogwai... perhaps Mr Beast isn't for you.
