May 13, 2011Very consistent and fun album. They're really showing off their strengths as a band going into different styles of music.This is essentially them making a fluid pop album. There is a weak link or two in the 2nd half of the record but overall an above average release.

LouisKMar 11, 2006This is the kind of album you will listen for months without ever getting bored of. It's complete, simple but melodically innovative; their most accomplished work yet.

codyMar 10, 2006Unlike "Rock action" & "Happy songs", this album has the stregth to make you wanna hear it again and again. Also has some of the best songs Morwai ever recorded!

madslMar 28, 2006Young 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..

ChrisCMar 7, 2006It's no Young Team, but it is there most accessible which is a very good thing for Mogwai.

JustinMar 7, 2006Great album, probably the best since Young Team but the two can't really be compared. Mogwai have evolved a lot, but this album is consistent and appropriately heavy. Anyone who likes post-rock or instrumental indie should pick it up.

BenTMay 5, 2006mogwai is starting to become the most overrated band that all of my friends like but actually really isn't that bad, but definitely very overrated. nothing beats young team.

[Anonymous]Mar 12, 2006Weak. There is so much better Post-Rock out there, Mogwai are burnt out.Young Team and Cody trample over their recent releases.

PhilBeastMar 16, 2006C'mon what else is out there that is a patch on this. Maybe not a masterpiece, but you've got to compare with the competition....

AlwaysWinningMar 22, 2006Sorry [Anonymous] but Mogwai are hardly post rock. Did someone tell you they were post rock and did you believe them. Anyway, great album, but I prefer Happy Songs.

TylerTMar 8, 2006Among their best albums, i would reccomend listening to it front to back rather than picking songs out... It, however, is no young team or Rock action.

AlexSMar 18, 2006Mogwai's best, but still lacks something.

AnandgyanMar 27, 2006So I got my punched-out plat de resistance and just enough melodious hors-d'oeuvre to enjoy the deepening, if not the spreading texture, of their own sound. Stagnant they are not though you shall recognize the intellectual post-rock focused on the visceral. Phlegmatic punk perhaps? Nah It's more Mogwai.

MickHAug 24, 20062006 is probably the year with the best CD releases for a long time! Mr. Beast is probably the best of the best!

OttoZOct 21, 2006Hypnotic and interesting, artful and always cool.

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.
