5.0 out of 5 stars black mountain - pitchforkmedia, Jan 18 2008

By	T. Bigney (Nova Scotia, canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Black Mountain (Audio CD)

Vancouver singer/songwriter Stephen McBean (Pink Mountaintops, Jerk With a Bomb) unveils his best project todate: Black Mountain, a rollicking, wildly adventurous reconfiguring of 1960s and 70s nostalgia that's as duty-bound to the present as it is sympathetic to the past.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't hog the doobie!, Nov 21 2006

By	Spencer Spratley "Without music, I'd be dead..." (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Black Mountain (Audio CD)

Ok, so you know when you wake up in the middle of the night and you think you hear a noise. You're absolutley frozen, completely alert, and totally focused on one thing. You don't move an inch. You can hardly breathe. Well, that was me the first time I listened to this record. From the opening notes, I was totally transfixed. I just kicked back and listened with that kind of intensity.

I'm not a stoner (anymore), so I'm not accustomed to hearing good stoner music. This self titled debut from Black Mountain is a bluesy, trippy dose of psychedelic/acid rock. It's got some Sabbath in it, some Zeppelin, some Velvet Underground. There's retro guitar work, groovy bass lines, a chunk of kick ass saxaphone playing and some moody, swilrling organ work on this record.

Derivitave? Referential? Yes, but there is enough mojo in their sound to transcend those labels. It is much, much more than the sum of its parts. It is a great rock and roll album. Part of the success of this record is due to the impressive vocals of Stephen McBean and Amber Webber. McBean's deep bluesy voice works well with Webber's smooth but tough pipes. Call me a sicko if you want, but I'd like to hear that woman scream at the top of her lungs.

Is this record worth spending money on? Yes it is. It's a stoner record that even non-stoners can appreciate.

4.0 out of 5 stars ...., Sep 24 2005

By A Customer

Saw them open up for Coldplay and they were awesome. If you enjoy Pink Floyd and Radiohead, you'll love this band.
