SITE_REVIEW	The goofy magic of King Missile may have never been showcased better than on Mystical Shit. The music jumps from genre to genre with no concern for a specific "sound," just as long as singer John S. Hall has a platform for his hilarious yet thoughtful rants. "Rock-N-Roll Will Never Die" is a hilarious tirade both condemning and celebrating the state of rock music at the time. The bizarre story of "Gary and Melissa" also stands out as a quirky tribute to the power of sex. At this time in the band's career, Hall had not quite made the transition from his thin indie pop singing to the spoken vocals that became his trademark a few years later. So some of the tracks with singing suffer from the weak vocals, making songs like "How to Remember Your Dreams" more repetitive and droning than interesting. In the face of such strong tracks as "Jesus Was Way Cool" and "Take Stuff From Work," those are minor complaints. Hall's jagged view of the world meshes nicely with the hard rock of his backing band. Unlike their previous independent efforts, it seems as though the band had finally found its strengths with only occasional steps back into their previous sound. Anyone who enjoys oddball alternative rock from They Might Be Giants to the Residents will probably find something to like about this uneven but underappreciated album. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
