User Album Review
Merritt could have taken the strongest 20 songs from this album and put out a wonderfully taut double album, but that would have removed the joy of getting to know his idiosyncrasies and personality on a level as never before. The kind of fan excited for a 50-song album by The Magnetic Fields knows what they’re getting into, and that inherent messiness is what makes the album work. 50 Song Memoir may not have the highs of “The Book of Love” or “Papa Was a Rodeo”, but it’s a more consistent listen all the way through and a more-than-worthy sequel to its predecessor. It’s a memoir only Merritt could write, and the only one we’d want him to. --- consequenceofsound.net
