SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE

Well it is hard to fault this album either. Mercury Rev have always been uncompromising when it comes to what they deliver as an end product. Take it or leave it, they won't bow to the record management moguls and remain determined to see fit to create a sound unique to themselves. This was their third album and it is of high quality throughout. It starts with the upbeat ' Empire Sate' which although seven minutes long kind of always feels like it is in a hurry.' Sudden Ray Of Hope' has a great hook as it gains momentum. ' Everlasting Arm' and ' Racing The Tide' the other tracks that stand out on an already highly consistent offering from Mercury Rev. It is ten years since this album was released but it still sounds and feels fresh today. Highly recommended.
