5.0 out of 5 stars Better and more original than others are stating..., April 30, 2010

Just a brief pause to examine the claims of unoriginality that seem to be floating around all of a sudden:

First, a vocalist can hardly help what his voice sounds like. So, saying that his voice sounding like Wayne Coyne's makes them unoriginal is ridiculous.

Second, similarities and influences do not automatically equal rip-off. There are qualities of this band's music that are nothing like Arcade Fire, who have never constructed a wall of sound as dense or of the same ambient quality as that present on Sleep Mountain.

I own and listen to music by Arcade Fire and the Flaming Lips. And despite that, I still feel Sleep Mountain still has its own sound and style, regardless of influences.

Now, that aside, I'd like to say that I greatly enjoyed this band's debut three years ago, and consider this album to be an improvement in nearly every way. The ambiance created by the dense sound that runs throughout this album will stay with you even after the album has stopped playing.

The album is lacking a lot of the hooks that were present on the debut, and while they may have added to my enjoyment of the new album, somehow they're absence doesn't detract from it.

Hopefully, their third LP will combine the catchy hooks that gave their first album its pop accessibility with the dense, beautiful musical style that gives Sleep Mountain its emotional weight.

I saw this Danish band three times in Austin. Each time they put on such a good, fun show. I and a few friends were very impressed.
This is their second album and is very well-produced. Buy their CD and see them in concert if you can!

I have been listening to this band for more than three years now and i cant really describe how much I like them. I saw them last may and it was the best show I have seen in a long time. a million people on stage, one guy running around playing different instruments and also filming with a camera and then just interpretive dancing. They were the openers but they just have been the headliners. There should be more then 3 reviews on here, this is a great unappreciated band.
