Customer Reviews




Michael BrittenMr. Beast explains within its title the flaw that grounds it: for as much feral instinct that inhabits these songs, they cannot abandon their given name, and imposed self-discipline. Mogwai has always been a force existing above boundaries and beyond borders; the music the band has produced since its inception is testament to the living song -- growing, organic arrangements with the capacity to move freely of their own accord. Mr. Beast, on a whole, is limiting, the restraint found within the songs denies the appearance of any truly moving, all-encompassing arrangements. Though refined to the point of elegance, this Beast is left with a crippling lack of the wild.
