    Im a big fan of RF but this isnt a patch on their last album. It really is a book, with musical backing, its just a shame they forgot the songs and tunes ! Packed with swearing and some really wooden acting. Sorry guys, love you to bits but this is a stinker.

    Oregon four-piece serve up a conceptual gem. [Oct 2011, p.128]

    An admirable attempt to try something genuinely different has compromised an otherwise fine album. [Oct 2011, p.94]

    True, The High Country doesn't allow for the giddiest of circumstance, but if it doesn't break your heart, it may just steal it instead.
