    The Neil Young and Beatles influences are laid bare, the quirkiness is now more tuneful than cerebral, and the band has surrendered to the basic human craving for candied country melodies.

    Blitzen Trapper's first release for Sub Pop doesn't just improve upon the promise of WMN, it expands its sonic horizons as well, narrowing the mixtape glee that fueled its predecessor with just enough maturity to lend it considerable weight.
  3. Drowned In Sound

    Furr is the work of an assured band that are in confident command of their craft.

    There's enough diverse material here and in the past to build your own army of darkness. [Fall 2008, p.74]

    What it lacks in urgency compared to Wild Mountain Nation it more than makes up with a country/rock solid sound throughout. Give Furr time to grow on you.… Expand

    Boring! I don't care how great the lyrics are if the music puts me to sleep.

    Psychedelic frontier rock that hits all the right spots better than the average Joe six-pack on a weekend when he feels like being the most generous of lovers.… Expand

    Wild Mountain Nation may still be their best album, but my god, can they craft a great rock album.
