    Not bad, not great. Good background music while your doing something like typing a review on line.

    This is exactly the type of album I hope former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry DOESN'T do. Live has become too watered down.

    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]
