Loud-quiet-loud has never been so dizzying.

Entertainment WeeklyIt's heavy and appealingly dopey in equal measure. [25 Jan 2008, p.69]
-
Black Mountain pushes its songs further on In the Future, experimenting with druggy synthesizers and shifting musical dynamics on complex arrangements that veer from hazy psychedelia to brutal riffage.
-
This album is more consistent than the first album because it succeeds not only with the hard-rock shuffle of “Stormy High”, but also with the acoustic-driven, high-register of “Stay Free”.
-
In the Future is a great second act, a consolidation of strengths, better songwriting and more ideas.
-
Black Mountain refine their position as the psychedelic hard-rock/goof-folk revivalists that you can actually stand for an entire album.
-
Too quick and severe on the brakes, Black Mountain stunt their own grandiosity in the name of dynamics or patience.
