In 1987, when the Meat Puppets released their first full-length LP after their 1985 gem UP ON THE SUN, the Arizona trio was a college-radio favorite whose raucous, high-energy gigs earned them a modest-sized yet passionate following. Stylistically, MIRAGE isn't a huge departure from UP ON THE SUN. The Meats continued to mix country and psychedelic influences in their rock-trio cauldron, but the Southern boogie flavor that would become increasingly prevalent on subsequent records began creeping in, notably on "Quit It" and "Get On Down," which also features the gruffer vocal style of later releases. Curt Kirkwood hadn't yet plunged headlong into Z.Z. Top-style guitar heroics; instead, the lambent arpeggios of "A Hundred Miles" and the hyper-speed plucking of "Beauty" are the guitar-lover's moments of choice here. The thoroughly countrified romp "Confusion Fog" boasts some nifty bluegrass-style picking, and an opening line ("I lost my mind/a couple of gals ago") worthy of Hank Williams. The mood shifts between upbeat rockers and more introspective, idiosyncratic numbers like "Leaves" and the title track. Finally, they tear it up on the closing track, "Liquefied," which is as frantic and pumped up as anything in the Puppets' catalog.
