I listened to Black Mountain’s sophomore album long and hard. I feel that it required a rather extensive listening because the genrefication of their style (“Space Rock,” I’ve been told) can be difficult to place. Ultimately, I feel their efforts are influenced just enough by metal/rock legends, such as Zeppelin and Sabbath, to allow me to struggle past the monotonous stretches, and just unique enough to be a reasonable addition to rock fanatics playlist. Between their two albums, Black Mountain has a respectable catalog, but as for In The Future by itself? I personally would have enjoyed a little less space, and a little more rock. Notable selections: "Stormy High," "Angels," "Tyrants"
