Mercury rev empire state
See You on the Other Side is the third studio album by American neo-psychedelia band Mercury Rev, released in 1995 by record label Beggars Banquet.

Content
This was the first Mercury Rev album following the departure of former lead singer Dave Baker. It also marks a transition between the earlier, noisier sound of their first two releases to the more orchestrated, soft and lush arrangements the band would embrace on subsequent albums.
The title for the album comes from what Dave Fridmann would say to the band members before going onstage.
The album cover is taken from a 1975 7 Up commercial entitled 'Uncola'. The album's back cover is a photograph of Donahue despondently loading a revolver.
The video for "Young Man's Stride" was directed by Moby.
