Oct 2, 2013For a supergroup involving this many individuals from this many bands, Lightbody's presence is the most felt. Not such a bad thing, but you have to use your imagination to differentiate this from a Snow Patrol effort. The bits of "country" and "Americana" are so timid and restrained you wonder why they bothered, but overall this is a very fresh, pretty album. Probably has a lot of replay value.

Aug 20, 2013This album is EPIC for me. Since "The place we ran from" I knew that next one will be amazing. Gary Lightbody is an amazing singer and songwriter and his voice is better than ever. I hope the next Snow Patrol's album will be like "The ghost of the mountain".

Aug 20, 2013I think it's an album so beautiful and striking as "The Joshua Tree". Beautiful vocals. Sounding flawless. Sounds like Snow Patrol due to the remarkable personality of Gary Lightbody.

MagnetNov 27, 2013The bulk of the album feels much more controlled, and though it's technically accomplished record--as well it might be given the lineup--there's more brain than heart in the final mix. [No. 104, p.60]

Oct 11, 2013Happily, The Ghost of the Mountain succeeds in every respect, an album that sounds like the product of a group rather than simply a collaboration between like-minded associates.

Oct 9, 2013If you’re looking for good, occasionally great, mature music about facing the end, The Ghost of the Mountain is a damn fine choice.
