Well I wouldn't say it's better. It's definitely different than Candleland in many respects. Les synth, more guitars, more structured rock songs, different subject matter and mood, etc. I just prefer Mysterio like I prefer Heaven Up Here over Crocodiles. It's just a matter of taste.

"Better than Candleland!", raves Gene Shallit.

I found Candleland to be a consistent if subdued album and while Mysterio might be less consistent it has some genuine rocking moments that stand out. I still think Slideling is the best of the bunch.

I find solo Ian now makes me feel like I am in the cab of a truck with a hot pedantic half-blood driving.*

It's not a flatbed, I'm not really that conservative, only half Latino at most and it's NOT Candleland but a mix of Candleland, Mysterio, Slideling, the Grey Album and some live Bunnymen covers.

I am pretty hot though.

This should actually go into the official FAQ:

Q: Should I get Mysterio?
A: No.

People can only speculate as to what originally motivated the creation of the infamous "Worst Mix CD Ever."

Candleland/Mysterio Expanded Edition

Postby podge » Tue Feb 15, 2011 9:02 pm

I live in the U.S. and can not find the remastered edition of Candleland/Mysterio anywhere; can't download mp3 from the UK. Any suggestions on how I can get a copy would be great. (Can also trade, too)

Thanks,

Podge

Candleland/Mysterio release

Postby podge » Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:15 am

Thanks a lot for the link. Checked it out and believe they are only offering the mp3 version. I checked and can not download mp3s from the UK (checked with Amazon UK, too). If you have any other links/ideas, would be great. Again, thanks for the quick reply.
