losing their sharp-taloned gremlin edge. Mr Beast,
you see, is a significant jerk of the volume
knob--a record that finds these Scots
avant-rockers sporadically reaching again for the
same skull-crushing levels of sound that lent
earlier albums like 1997's Young Team such
noise-freak notoriety. The lessons in songcraft
learnt on more recent works like Happy Songs For
Happy People, however, have stuck: for every
dials-in-the-red rocker like "Glasgow Mega-Snake"
or "We're No Here", there's a more sedate moment
like the Barry Burns-sung "Acid Food" or
piano-accompanied "Friend Of The Night" to give
the album a nice peaks-and-troughs feel. There's a
special guest too, in the shape of Tetsuya
Fukagawa of Japan's Envy, a hardcore outfit with
clear similarities to Mogwai's cacophonic sturm
und drang. The surprise being, however, that the
track in question, "I Chose Horses" is a soft,
lilting keyboard number that's possibly this
band's plain loveliest moment to date. --Louis
Pattison

Mogwai's Latest Masterpiece.
Review of Mr. Beast - Mogwai by markcrymble

Advantages: A musical experience from start to end
Disadvantages: You might have to listen again

...of the 2006 release of Mr. Beast. Mogwai fans has long anticipated this album, many hailing it as the album that would being mogwai to the forefront of the UK music scene. That album was released nearly a year ago, yet Mogwai are still unheard of in mainstream UK. That does not mean this album isn't for you. This album, is a masterpiece, from start to finish. I'm a big mogwai fan and love their previous work, especially Rock Action and Happy Songs ...
...with, here's an overview of each song on the album: 1. Auto Rock (4.19) This song is simple yet a great opener. It consists of a simple piano melody being played time and time again. The background has a gentle techno beat with occasional synth noises along with a constant thump of the toms of the drums. This gradually builds up into a movement of excellence and leaves you hanging for the next song. 2. Glasgow Mega Snake (3.34) This is possibly ... Read review

Review of Mr. Beast - Mogwai by JBird13

Advantages: Lyrical
Disadvantages: None

Mr Beast, this album is as troublesome as the beast himself, and at the same time without trouble at all. These guys are musically talented, genius' if you will. From their initial album, "Mogwai Young Team" the band have gone from strength to strength. The music seems much more crisp, each part being more distinguishable than in their previous work. A greater lyrical content, in my opinion, adds volumes to this album. Travel Is Dangerous being a ...
...a russian submarine that sank with the crew onboard. This song is dramatic, and speaks volumes to the listener, almost worth buying for that one masterpiece. Songs that may have been downrated in previous albums such as Friend of the Night, have that extra something, a certain magic about them, the album just seems to fit with them being there. Definate purchase, amazing. ... Read review

Review of Mogwai - Mr Beast (Ltd Edition) by  Champ666

Advantages: Evocative listening
Disadvantages: Post Rock is just a Tad pretentious

...Mogwai are a Scottish post rock band formed in 1995, and are considered to be highly influential in the sphere of post rock music. Eh I hear you say what the f*** is post rock, ok it is rather obviously a genre of music, but what genre? The simplest explanation of post rock was defined by Simon Reynolds in issue 123 of The Wire (May 1994) as "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures rather than riffs and power chords." This description probably does not shed any light on things. The Bit about the Album ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Auto Rock starting off with a chilled vibe of piano and intermeshed eerie synth sounds, and somewhere in the mix a deep bass rumble is present. The intensity of the music gradually increases in a cascading like fashion adding layers and depth... Read review
