    Loud-quiet-loud has never been so dizzying.

    In The Future showcases a group who knows exactly what they're doing. [Feb 2008, p.101]

    If you're not a fan of their weighty retro riffs, Into The Future is not going to sway you; but those who loved their self-titled debut will thrill to the darker, more convincing sounds of former single 'Stormy High' with its Plantish wails and solid Sabbathy riffs.

    So there's ambition, here, yes--but where there's ambition, there's often overambition, and so it goes here.

    One of the best rock albums, maybe of ever. Nice combination of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

    I admit, I'm a fan. But this is definitely their best effort! One of my favourite "modern" rock-albums. If you haven't got this album already, you really should do something about it. Seriously!… Expand

    An amazing CD! Finally, true Rock N' Roll has returned! This is a breath of fresh air coming down a Black Mountain.

    Because they've chosen to REALLY rock one style, the thrill from their first record is missing. More predicatable. Damn rocking but on some level, I was expecting more. Don't get me wrong, In The Future is fantastic, but I can hear that these guys are one of the greatest bands currently playing, and this record is only so indicative of that.… Expand
