DavidI was NOT prepared for this! Even my watch protested about the noise of the first track - screaming out something ‘bout “…exceeding decibels…30 minutes…potential damage…” It wasn’t just the volume; it was the shear harshness of the assault.

DavidThe themes were: An oldie but a goodie: A tune chosen by your better half , A tune that prominently features an ukulele (Tiny Tim and Hawaiian music have had their turns, step aside)., A tune that prominently features a string orchestra (Neil Sedaka or Rossini not welcome today).

DavidNothing short of profound, this turn-of-the-new-millennium record, with ostentatious string arrangements by Tony Visconti, is a beautiful mess. I’d never be one to recommend Mercury Rev’s singular vision and introspective execution as a “must have” for any one’s music collection.
