Agreed, when it's good it's GREAT: Hold Me, Only Over You, Gypsy, Straight Back, Eyes Of The World. The rest of it just sounds like filler to me though. I'm just not nuts about the retro 50s theme going on either, ala Love In Store, Oh Diane, etc.
To me, the album just reeks of a pendulum swing following Tusk... it's so conservative, accessible, pop friendly, and almost dumbed down. I must admit though, on the rare occasion I put on Mirage, I always find it a very light and refreshing listen.
