| Magic Marmalade 12th Oct 2023 | ReviewWould you believe me if I said I'd never heard this album before?!! Well, while that is true, in the round, it's one of those that it turns out I'd heard some of the songs without even knowing it... by way of it's cultural impact. (One of those that seems to have gotten everywhere) "Ooh, I know that one!" (...Being my frequent response since first listen on my MP3 player in the wee smalls whilst laid up with shoulder injury these past days, and waiting for the pain-killers to kick in) Only got around to listening to it now, having found it in the charity shop the other day, and wondering why I didn't sekk it out upon original release. My conclusion being that it was one of those fantastically overhyped bands / albums who's obsequious gushing praise by critics, and how I simply MUST own this record was enough to produce the opposite effect on me back in the day. But now I've heard it, listening to it at last on my own terms, and in my own time, I immediately hear the obvious similarities between Mercury Rev and The Flaming Lips, and acknowledge the well documented association. However, Mercury Rev seem (On this one album's evidence alone) to be more of a tenderly melodic variety of that kind of music, as well as more consistently memorable and haunting. So it was a great, serendipitous choice of mine to give this a go on a very low and soothing volume as I cosied up in bed, waiting for the painkiller cavalry to arrive and offer some relief... This album acting as a kind of lullabies at sunrise to keep me company in the meantime. In fact, to characterise the songs, would be to say they are like audio versions of Rothko paintings, lightly framed in Christmas tinsel... ...But that may be the painkillers talking :) Naturally, I am now, true to my own form, now currently, completely obsessed with this album, with each of the songs now slowly, but ever so surely worming their way through the thick albumen of my ignorance, into the golden yoke of my better, basic-brain. All that of course, remains to be said, is... YOU MUST OWN THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!! :) ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
