All Is Dream Mercury Rev

“How does a band follow up an album critically acclaimed as a master work. In the case of Mercury Rev, the answer is: “with little difficulty.” Mercury Rev’s fourth album, 1998’s Deserter’s Songs was lauded worldwide. With All Is Dream, the band has set out to top Deserter’s Songs and there are moments of genuine beauty throughout this record.” - Mark Redfern, Under the Radar

“frontman songwriter Jonathan Donahue appears to have drifted deep into the gargoyled labyrinth of his own mind. ‘All Is Dream’ rarely surfaces from the magic cavern of his imagination, a place crammed with snakes and spiders, books on Greek mythology and shadowy ex-lovers, helped out sporadically by ’60s and ’70s BowieBolan producer Tony Visconti.” - Roger Morton, NME
