2 out of 5 stars Not their best.......2006-08-25

Nothing special here and if you are looking for an introduction into Mountain, this shouldn't be it.

If you play "Talk Dirty" from Leslie's late 80s album and the song "Mystic Fire", guess what? It's the same riff. A good riff mind you - but I hope he doesn't use it again ten years from now and name it something else.

Get Nantucket, Climbing, The Road, Mountain etc. before you consider getting this.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME.......2005-01-22

Just bought and listened to the best and true-to-the sound MOUNTAIN album since NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE! Yes, it's that good.Is it a coincidence that they do a cover of the Felix Pappallardi/Gail Collins-written song on this new CD? I don't think so as I feel it shows Leslie and Corky have taken the original Mountain concept to the XXIst century. Enjoy... and I mean it.

4 out of 5 stars these boys still rock.......2004-07-24

This along with man's world have some kick a-- songs on it. The dvd sea of fire is awesome. And ive seen these guys live about 5 times in the last 3 or 4 years they still kick a-- and are much more entertaining with corky firing drum sticks at leslie, and leslie knockin over corky's cymbals then most of todays LAME music bein drilled into your head by the media and mtv/vh1.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2003-11-04

If I were an extremely well funded philanthropist, the first thing I would do is start a foundation. This foundation would have a large endowment with funds available for musicians that were once very famous, but have fallen out of favor for one reason or another - usually not for any other reason than the passage of time. And they have already paid their dues. A condition of accepting this large sum of money would be that they could NOT re-form or tour. Not to say that we would be better off with all the bands that were around in the 1970s not having any reunions, but I am quite sure that the majority of them would be much more comfortable (not to mention the potential for worsening their already failing health) without having to rehearse, record, and/or go on the road. Without question the surviving members of Mountain would be approved for a large grant from my foundation.

There is no way on earth that one can compare this album to any of the old Mountain albums. I understand those who are big fans of Leslie and Corky giving them lots of leeway. And some may be so hungry for more Mountain they are willing to hear these two decrepit old men rock out. Some may even, if they squint their ears, be able to make out some of the characteristics that made Mountain such a great band. But on this album there is very, very little of their old selves that is evident. Maybe if they "reinvented" themselves, that is, they chose a different musical direction to explore they might find their niche. But they try to be "heavy", and they do not succeed one iota.

I feel bad. I didn't want to write this bad review because I love their old music so much. But I wish someone had warned me before I spent good money on this CD. Don't be mistaken, though -- they are still one of my favorite bands of all time. I listen to "Climbing", "Nantucket Sleighride", "Flowers of Evil" and "The Road..." as often as I do any other albums in my collection. And I was hoping that this album would be at least passable. Nope.

4 out of 5 stars Leslie's distinctive riffing is almost enough.......2003-08-24

This is a great sounding album. Leslie is playing and singing as well as one could expect. The songs suit his style. And if it all comes off sounding more than a little like ZZ Top, that's okay. The problem is that when you put the name of Mountain on an album, people will expect a certain sound. Leslie does what he can with Nantucket Sleighride but the missing pieces just become all the more glaring when you redo a song like that one.
The loss of Felix Pappalardi was huge. His singing and songwriting were just as important as Leslie's. But the missing piece that Leslie refuses to acknowledge is the importance to the Mountain sound of Steve Knight's keyboards. Mountain was more than a blues band, but without a great keyboard player they have no choice but to play the blues.
