Review from Wire Magazine (January 2008):
"Stephen McBean’s defiantly anachronistic Vancouver group evokes an era of fin de siècle post-hippy burnout, with filthy boogie riffs, thick, rolling grooves and the aural equivalent of 70s smog. What’s great about Black Mountain is their elusiveness – they trade in a certain familiarity but mix and match their influences to such a degree that they become more a general touchstone than they provide any specific references. In The Future sounds heavier than their debut in all senses: the riffs are deeper and the feeling is more grimly antiestablishment, even as it recalls an era when ‘sticking it to the man’ carried some sort of serious currency. With Amber Webber’s vocals rising to Amon Düül II peaks of intensity, this album eclipses their previous output and hits a consistent note of righteous force."
