"All Is Dream" saw Mercury Rev lean further into their knack for ornate, psych-tinged orchestral rock, trading in some of the gauzy haze of their earlier work for a more direct, albeit still dreamy, songwriting approach. It’s a collection that feels both meticulously crafted and wide-eyed, arriving as a counterpoint to the prevailing winds of early 2000s rock.
- "All Is Dream" was released on August 27, 2001, by Cherry Red Records.
- The album was produced by Mercury Rev and mixed by Dave Fridmann, a frequent collaborator who had also worked on their previous album, "Deserter's Songs."
- While not achieving the same widespread commercial success as its predecessor, "All Is Dream" was met with generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its lush arrangements and atmospheric qualities.
