Beloved was the final Reivers album. A combination of things
contributed to the breakup of the band. As Garrett says in
his interview on this
site, it was getting to be less fun and they were having to
work at it more. Luckily, they went out in style. Pop Beloved
stands with the strongest of their work. To my ears it sounds
a little more world weary, a little more experienced than
the old Reivers, but no less engaging. "Over and Over" and
"What You Wanna Do" are resigned in their outlook, yet "Chinatown"
and "Other Side" offer respites from this resignation. As
from the first album on, an instrumental or two appears. On
Pop Beloved, it's the atmospheric, very un-pop title track.
Despite this piece, the rest of the album is less abstract
lyrically than much of their previous output.
Interestingly, "Second Chance" - the very last song on The
Reivers last album - is the only one in their career that
credits all the band members in its composition. Also, quite
an ironic title, eh? Unfortunately, there was no second chance...
