    This album is so good, its like laying on a beach in 80 degree weather with watermelon and hot chicks

    possibly one of the best albums of the decade, along side the likes of Kid A, Slanted and Enchanted, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Truely a masterpice of modern day contempory rock. In years to come people will look back on this album as a touchstone, much like its processors.

    It's the sound of the band maturing, and while it's certainly more laid-back than any of Live's previous records, that low-key approach feels right for the music on Songs from Black Mountain and helps make it one of their most consistent and successful records.

    Live has settled too comfortably into the skin of a middle-of-the-road rock act. [17 Jun 2006]

    Proves they can still write hummable pop-metal anthems and equally clunky lyrics. [16 Jun 2006, p.75]
