When every other band in 1992 was complaining about growing up in the suburbs and reacting to it Eitzel was reacting to himself and he's still doing it. This is why Eitzel has such dedicated fans. They watch him grow like a good jazz musician. Eitzel hit some seriously dark veins with Mercury and it remains my favorite AMC album for its honesty and astounding musical beauty. For a musician to get that deep and not come off as an ass is an amazing triumph. And it suits Eitzel that his recordings today have learned from experience and lighten up. Yet they don't loose any value in impact. Guy's a genius. Yes, worth it.
