It's as dreamy as Mercury Rev have ever sounded. [Oct 2008, p.161]

'Bells of Creation (Machete Mix)' confirms they're not budging from their patented brans of symphonic rock....It's a sizzling cauldron of rock magic, grand in sound and scope. The other songs aren't quite as compelling. [Dec 2008, p.146]

Not only does Fite sing more than speak-rap, he doesn't push oddity so hard. [Apr 2012, p.92]

Bruiser is at its best when its tempos are insistent. [Apr 2011, p.114]
