  1. The Vancouver quintet play flower-brained folk and Satan-friendly hard rock to evoke that moment when the hippie dream got creepy. Their third disc is their heaviest and most concise.
  2. Uncut
    60
    An interim record before their next assault, perhaps. [Oct 2010, p.87]
  3. The farther it strays into new territory, the older and duller and more dubious Wilderness Heart sounds.
  4. For Wilderness Heart remains, ultimately, a collection of ten tracks of roughly equal length, each taking roughly one classic idea and pickling it in (admittedly, impeccably realised) production gloss and traditionalist technique.
  5. Under The Radar
    50
    With Wilderness Heart, Black Mountain has narrowed their focus too much. [Summer 2010, p.77]
  6. If only the album lived up to the awesomeness of its album cover. The band's willingness to shake up their own sound so early in their development is admirable, but the its decision to move the sound to a more generic direction is a major drag.
