Break down of Mystery to Me

[aleuzzi]

At the end of the day, only a few thousand people in the world still listen to these albums, if that. If someone doesn't like the bulk of it at least his interests in critiquing it keep the record alive...

To me Mystery is a VERY good album. But it has always gotten very mixed criticism in the press. One of the rare highlights of Brunning's otherwise awful book on the Mac is when he cites the mixed critical reports on this record.

Since then, music journalists have either placed the album in "one of the band's best" or "boring/middling" category.
