Music: 3/10 Vocals: 1/5 Lyrics: 1/5 Production: 1/5
Total: 6/25: D
Doing a quick sample on iTunes, this sounded like a great throwback to 70s rock. Big guitar riffs. Mystical lyrics. Booming drums. Oh, how wrong could I be?
First, yes, it sounds very 70s. And that's mostly a bad thing. The riffs are out of the 70s but have no magic of their own. In fact, they are mostly boring since well, I've heard them all done before and much better.
Next, the recording is horrible. It sounds like it was done on an old analog reel to reel. The high end is gone and it has no sizzle. The reverb effects sound like a 30 year old crappy guitar pedal. And the end product sounds like a bad dub of a cassette tape.
The lyrics don't help either. Yeah, they're vintage 70s goofiness. But, do I need 3 minutes of them singing "Bright Light, Light Bright" and thousand times? Horrible.
I was hoping Black Mountain was conjuring Black Sabbath or at least a good knockoff like Wolfmother. Instead we get utter crap.
