Mercury Rev - The Secret Migration (2005)
Genre- Rock, Neo-Psychedelia, Dream Pop
This is Mercury Rev's sixth album. Sadly, it is their worst album to date. The Secret Migration continues Mercury Rev's move away from rock music. It is important for a band to evolve musically and nobody can ever accuse Mercury Rev of not evolving. Their earlier work with David Baker on vocals was incredibly noisy and spontaneous. The post David Baker era produced an incredibly powerful ethereal sound that climaxed on Deserter's Songs. The Secret Migration is a flat album. It has very few high peaks and valleys that you come to expect from Mercury Rev. Just when you feel tension building in a song, it seems to end. Gone is the 8 minute epic, replaced with a 3 minute pop song. There are a few good songs on this album. Secret for a Song, Vermillion, In a Funny Way and Arise are stand outs. The rest unfortunately are pretty bland.
Rating- 5/10
