Reviews
"It's an album about the beauty and perishability of this life, at once monumental and evanescent in feel....It's pop, but pop from a faraway, better and unreachable place.", "'senses on Fire' ISA Twisted, Hummable Synth-Pop Classic." -- Grade: B, 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "It's as dreamy as Mercury Rev have ever sounded; its largely electronic soundscapes suggesting a post-rave showing of some futuristic arthouse film.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Seven albums into their shape-shifting career, this Buffalo, New York-formed outfit can still arouse the kind of wonder you felt as a child contemplating the star-speckled heavens.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With wonderfully skewed arrangements....A testament to the vision of a band that values 'sound over sense' and is still evolving nearly two decades on.", "On their seventh studio album, alt-rock vets Mercury Rev blast their usual space-pop into an even more amorphous, post-apocalyptic realm.", Ranked #22 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums of 2008in- "An Album That Lingered like a Lucid Dream."
