    The music is great. The lead singer's voice is incredibly annoying.

    None of these reviews contain the phrase "crazy yelling guy." If you're thinking about buying this album, please note that it there is a crazy yelling guy, yelling all crazy, on every track. In fact, I downloaded this, burnt it onto a CD so I could listen to it in my car, and then threw it away.

    Overlooked and savagely underrated, Wilderness makes Joy Division's Closer look like it should have been sung by David Byrne

    The voice is powerful, the idiots don't know music if it bit them on their asses.

    Sounds good at first, but gets monotonous and boring. Good songs, but mediocre album. It's just missing something

    These guys define originality and do it well. It took me a couple of times through to really appreciate how well the music and vocals harmonize and blend together. Great stuff.

    A complex yet intriguing soundscape.

    Someone needs to tell them that just sounding important doesn’t mean they actually are important.

    What Wilderness really seem to signify-- and what makes them important-- is a shift back towards the more cerebral end of the rock spectrum.
