Title: Big Bill's #22 of 2001
Review: 4.25 Stars. Mercury Rev certainly has come a long way since their debut back 1992 (that has mixed results I guess). The noise blasts of old has now been replaced with orchestrations and symphonies. However, All is Dream kind of rocks it up a tad more than Deserter's Songs. Incorporating guitar antics similar to those of Godspeed You Black Emperor works really well with the orchestrations and Johnathon Donahue's vocals. I like this CD better than Deserter's Songs, but not quite as much as Boces. Best tracks are Lincoln's Eyes, You're My Queen, and Spiders and Flies.
Is the review positive or negative?
