In The Mountain In The Cloud starts off on the right foot with a catchy song called “So American” that after you listen to once will instantly be stuck in your humming repertoire. John Gourley’s vocals fit in perfectly with the progressive and glam rock sound of the album. I am not the biggest fan of heavily distorted vocals but Gourley’s vocals still shine strongly through and I feel that the effects really just add to the depth of his already interesting vocals. The band as a whole seems to work like a well oiled machine with all parts operating at full strength. In The Mountain In The Cloud has honestly made me want to go back through and listen to the rest of the albums Portugal. The Man has released. The only real down sides I feel that the album has are some weaker songs in the meat of the album and the flow isn’t always strong. With that being said, this is not an album to be missed so I must strongly suggest that everyone adds it to their listening list.
