Pitchfork said: “Mercury Rev’s All Is Dream claims its share of
pop brilliance by taking up this position with enormous reserves
of intelligence, grace, and emotion.” Full review here. Score: 8.5.
Turn Up The Volume: Along with Deserter’s Songs my favorite Rev album.
A symhonoc tour de force creating a trance-like atmosphere, actually the state
of mind crystal voice Jonathan Donahue loves so much. Orchestral conductor
Grasshopper displays his sparkling vision of how classical music can sound
like pop-ular music once again. A totally terrific accomplishment.
