Mercury Rev - The Secret Migration

[Laurence]

Just going to order on CDwow....

I loved their 1998 Deserters songs - 'Holes', 'Opus 40' and 'Goddess on a Highway' were beautiful flowing epic songs. Imagine if the hobbits from LOTR released a record this would sound like it.

Their 2001 was a tad darker - especially the strange Lincoln's Eyes. First half was excellent but sadly second half was very dull.

Seen them live a couple of times- the lead singer Jonathan is probably the gayest, craziest thing on the planet (although apparently he's married).

Any other fans?

yep, just bought the album at lunchtime ;D


I bought Deserter's Songs after hearing it in my local independent shop. Fantastic record! ;D

I really dont like Deserter's Songs, keep meaning to sell it on ebay...I loved Goddess on a hiway as well, but aprt from that, about 2 other songs I like...
The new one sounds good though...
