MERCURY REV "the secret migration" cd, 2005
career stats:
studio albums.......9
singles................22
this album............#16 UK...#66 AU
singles:
"in a funny way"......no chart action
"across yer ocean"...no chart action
picked this one up as one of those "3 for $10" discount bin specials also....
I had no idea who they were previous to picking it up, but the cover art intrigued me, it was different and for $3.33
how far can you go wrong with a purchase really???
sometimes you pick something up that blows your mind, other times like this, that $3.33 was overpriced...
hard to really define this group,
some alt rock, some dreamy mellow stuff and some psychedelic sounds on this one, well, pseudo psychedelic sounds....
its getting there, but it not there....if you know what I mean...!?
this album is really all of nothing, too much happening in each song without anything really happening at all...
too little of anything really, no substance, no meat and potatoes, just nothing for me...
album gets the rare distinction of being one of only two or three in my 2,500 cd collection that gets a perfect score(no, not a good
score, but a perfect 'fail' scoring the bare minimum of 1.0)
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
there is no 'worst track' there is no 'best track' neither,
so i'll post a link to one of the singles lifted from the album
for your pleasure(or displeasure!)

so, thirteen track, I dislike every one of them goes something like this:
3s=0
2s=0
1s=13
rating: 1.0
