History tells us you’d be a fool to take Mercury Rev for granted. No two of their records are alike, because each Mercury Rev record reflects the shifting perspectives and impulses of the people who made it. People change over time, consciously or not, and that’s how it should be, because time changes people.
Like all great artists, Mercury Rev are not afraid to let loose what’s inside them, regardless of what the consequences may be, or whether each new missive necessarily makes sense in the context of what has come before. They’ve created their own world, their own logic. What’s beyond question is that once you’re inside, you’re there for the duration. You’d be a fool not to be. Make that emotional investment, and they won’t ever let you down.
