This and Boces and the first one--they are mystical...truely out of this world.
The guitars on the first three albums are still unmatched- collosal sounds unduplicatable.
They have this weird OKC mo-town-on meth hallucinatory trip like im stuck on a trainset....
god bless mercury rev
I love it

Nothing Else Like It

This album is a fantastic piece of art. On LP the album flips on Everlasting Arm / Racing the Tide. After the second side plays out you certainly feel like you've been on "the other side." Boces is certainly a noise rock milestone, while Deserter's Songs is a little too predictable for my taste. This album is a rare balance of the exhilarating, the bizarre, and the beautiful. Highly recommended for adventurous listeners. Plus the band sports a flautist.

This is a great album. Mercury Rev did not miss a beat when Dave Baker left. My favorites are Sudden Ray of Hope, Empire State and Young Man's Stride. For me the album is best enjoyed as one long continuos piece, but the songs can stand on their own.
