With MGR guitarist Mike Gallagher -of renowned dirge architects ISIS- unveils a compendium of sparse ruminations culled from years of underground musical experience. Gallagher has developed a style characterized by dense, sustained textures coupled with a penchant for the subtle melodicism associated with the post-Sabbath riff. MGR's effectiveness stems from how fluidly Gallagher is able to gradually add texture upon texture, building up the intensity of the tracks until they reach a tragic momentum. Imagine Isis with much of the bombast stripped away, leaving only dark, moody and melancholic soundscapes' MGR (the acronym for Mustard Gas and Roses, which Gallagher has borrowed from a line of Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five), is an emotionally charged amalgamation of sounds that, much to its credit, refuses to fit neatly into any particular category.

Review from: VS-WEBZINE (In French!) Rating: 14 / 20

MGR, alias Mustard Gas and Roses, alias Mike GallagheR, alias le guitariste d’Isis aux côtés de Aaron “Hydrahead” Turner, en est aujourd’hui à son troisième disque après « Nova Lux » (sorti sur Neurot) et « Impromptu » (collaboration avec Sir David Scott Stone). Avec « Wavering ...

Review from: PERTE ET FRACAS (In French!)

Mustard gas & roses (ou MGR pour les intimes), c'est d'abord une référence à Kurt Vonnegut et à sa femme puisque c'est ainsi qu'elle décrivait l'haleine de son mari le matin après avoir picolé toute la nuit. On savait s'amuser chez les Vonnegut. C'est surtout le projet solo de Mike Gallagher, ...

Review from: Creative Eclipse (in German) Rating: 8 / 10

Nach "Nova Lux" und der letztjährigen "Impromptu"-Kollaboration mit SirDSS nun das nächste Soloalbum von Michael Gallagher von Isis. Gleich vorweg, es gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut und weit besser wie das Debut-Album. Gallagher schafft es diesmal, die 6 enthaltenen Stücke homogen, kompakt und na ...

An ambient soldier, a poet of despair: Hot contenders for saddest songs of the year.

As the end of the year approaches, the critics are sharpening their pencils for their annual top-10s: Who has written the saddest song this year? Michael Gallagher is one of the hot contenders. Ar ...

Review from: Amplificasom (in Portugese)

E por falar em Conspiracy, eis o terceiro álbum do projecto a solo de Mike Gallagher (Isis). Este é daqueles discos que mereciam o seu próprio cantinho mas já aqui falei várias vezes sobre ele e a verdade é que não há muito a dizer, apenas escutar. Foi desenvolvendo o seu próprio estilo e e ...

Review from: Gothtronic.com

Mustard Gas And Roses is a solo-project by Mike Gallagher, the guitarplayer of the well-known post-metal band ISIS (nog the singer though). The name is taken from a line in the book Slaughterhouse Five, about a 'forgotten' bombing of the german town of Dresden at the end of Worldwar two. Mike alread ...

Review from: Les Choses (in French)

Nouvelle échappée solitaire de Mike Gallagher, guitariste du groupe Isis, sous le pseudonyme MGR (Mustard gas and roses).
Avec ce projet, il s'éloigne du post-metal cher à son groupe d'origine et construit des ambiances cinématographiques autour du post-rock et de l'ambient. Les référenc ...

Review from: Kindamuzik.net (in Dutch)

Isisgitarist Mike Gallagher besteedt de laatste jaren nogal wat aandacht aan zijn soloproject MGR. Na Nova Lux en Impromptu, zijn samenwerking met SIRDSS (David Scott Stone), is Wavering on the Cresting Heft de derde release in amper twee jaar tijd.

Net zoals bij de vorige wapenfeiten, l ...

Review from: Poin-Poin (in French)

La sagesse populaire voudrait que « la première impression soit toujours la bonne ». Je ne sais pas dans la vôtre, mais dans ma vie, voilà une règle qui n’est vraie qu’une fois sur deux ; autrement dit cette règle ne vaut rien - ensemble, les amis, luttons contre les proverbes erronés et ...
