Customer Reviews of Mysterio
Ian's weakest solo effort. This album is stifled by its desperate need to delve into a variety of sonic territories. As a result, it's not cohesive and it ends up sounding cobbled together from a series of experiments.
The first track, "Magical World" is probably the most Bunnymen-esque track on the album. "Dug For Love" is a somewhat embarassing attempt at a dance track. "Honeydrip" is one of the better songs on the album, with nice slabs of guitar and [beautiful] lyrics during the chorus. "Damnation" is sort of a straight-ahead rock song, reminding me of the rockers on Morrissey's Your Arsenal, though not as good. The cover of Leonard Cohen's "Lover Lover Lover" would probably meet with Leonard's approval. "Pomegranate" sounds like some sort of rockabilly song with a hoedown beat and a distractingly slow chorus. "Vibor Blue" is awful because of its tacky salsa style drum machine beats. "Heaven's Gate" is another of the best songs, with a refreshing and upbeat chord progression and backing vocals from Elizabeth Frazer of The Cocteau Twins. "In My Head" has a main guitar riff that is a bit of a hint at the sound that would emerge on Ian and Will's underrated pre-Bunnymen reunion project, Electrafixion.
Overall this album isn't horrible, but it sounds very disjointed and not really very inspired so if you're interested in the Macster's solo work, check out Candleland or Slideling before this one.
Shop only from the bargain bin!
I'm going to have to disagree with the other reviewer---"Mysterio" was a major disappointment to me. Quite frankly, this album seemed very dull and a bit too much on the pop side for me. Perhaps if "Mysterio" hadn't followed the lush, ethereal, masterpiece "Candleland," then I might have taken to it better. The only highlight I remember from this one is the cover of Leonard Cohen's "Lover, Lover, Lover." Undoubtedly, I must have traded this one in at a "Buy-Sell-Trade" music store years ago. Perhaps now that I've seen it on sale for as little as $1, I might buy it again just to complete my Bunnymen/McCullough collection. I doubt it will get much action in my NAD though.
Mysterio....it's a mystery why I found this in a bargain bin
Just pulled this one out of the stack tonight and it still sounds fresh to me.
Of course I was looking for just a crumb of that Echo sound... and for me, Mysterio delivered much of what I liked with E and the Bunnymen. McCulloch's voice still rips chills down to the gut and back up the spine. These 11 tracks have a great range of sound and rhythms.
'Damnation' , 'Honeydrip' and 'Dug for Love' are 3 of my favorites.
Clearly this one never caught on .... can't even show an image for the CD up top, but if you find this in a bargain bin like I did 10 years ago.....BUY IT!!!!
