    I can't believe I used to like these guys. Why doesn't he just change the name of the band already. This is like high school drama students gone wild.

    Frankly, you could get drunk just on the minutiae here. [Feb 2005, p.92]

    The Secret Migration shows a group in complete control of their cosmic idiom, familiar by now yet still seductive. [Jan 2005, p.120]

    Mercury Rev's power is undiminished. While never resorting to crude hooks, they build melodies to peaks of graceful intensity. [Album of the Month, Jan 2005, p.114]
