  1. PopMatters

    Man Mountain is an explosion of cinematic orchestration and lush 1960s guitars, cerebrally chill and simply extraordinary.... One of the best albums of 2002.
  2. Splendid
    80
    While not as thrillingly consistent as its predecessor, Man Mountain is another beautiful synthesis of man-made ingenuity and machine-generated textures.
  3. Uncut
    80
    Whereas so much downtempo leans heavily on two-note, oceanic synth washes, Blue States are masters of detail. [Sep 2002, p.111]

    Nothing short of astonishing.
  6. Mixer

    More Michael Caine chill than Sean Connery cool, but equally suave. [Oct 2002, p.88]

    Nicely done but not too much saccharine
