    Ten years after Deserter's Songs became a gorgeous Americana classic, Mercury Rev have made another masterpiece.

    This Rev record is another triumph in which all is dream and this sometimes symbolism, the overall effect trippy, though less dark than of yore. [Oct 2008, p.102]

    There are flashes of thrilling chaos but all too often they are contained and subdued by fussy programming.
  4. Magnet

    Mercury Rev has talked about reinvention and veering away from its comfort zone, which is only to be commended, but the band has really fallen flat on its face here.
