Man, this is FANTASTIC. It starts out like a precursor to The Soft Bulletin, but quickly turns into something extra special.
Holes is the best opening song I've heard in a long time.
I didn't know anything about Mercury Rev, but I saw how high this was on acclaimedmusic, so I grabbed it to give it a listen. There are a couple of amazing, beautiful tracks on here: "Holes" and "Goddess on a Hiway." The album is going very strong through the first 8 tracks, then it changes gears and the last 3 songs I end up skipping through.
It's hard to compare this to anything, since I don't have much else that sounds like this.
Best track on this album is Holes
A beautiful album. My only complaint is that the beginning is a bit disappointing when compared to Opus 40 and the songs that follow.
direct influence on the flaming lips?
Ah, what the hell. Here's an 85 for you, Deserter's songs. You deserve it.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Never heard anything quite like this..really liked opus 40. have to listen to this for awhile before i can really absorb it.
