1987 Original With Lyrics On Custom Inner Sleeve. NM/NM. “As Many Meat Puppets Fans Had Realized By 1987's Mirage, The Trio Would Change Gears And Broaden Their Sound With Each Successive Album. This Was Never More Apparent Than On Their Fourth Full-Length Release. Synthesizers Were Used To Add Textures To The Tunes, While The Drums Sounded Metronome-Perfect, Almost As If A Drum Machine Was Supplying The Patterns. Strangely, Although Mirage Was The Trio's Most Experimental Album, It Also Turned Out To Be One Of Their Most Psychedelia-Based Works. The Groovy Little Ditty "Get On Down" Turned Out To Be One Of The Band's First Videos Aired On MTV, While The Title Track, The Melodic "Leaves," The Country Rocker "Confusion Fog," The Unrelenting "Beauty," And The Album-Closing Punk Freak-Out "Liquified" Are All Standouts.” Greg Prato, All Music Guide.
