It is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeasy to discern these roots: Black Sabbath, 'Animals'-era \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePink Floyd, Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin and Can. Principal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esongwriter Stephen McBean's vocals are a smoother, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebluesier amalgam of the voices of Neil Young, Mick Jagger \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand perhaps James Brown loaded on cough syrup. And \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhen Amber Webber's voice joins Stephen's, the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecombination brings to mind the potency and chemistry of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRichard and Linda Thompson singing together on 'Shoot Out \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Lights,' or of Meat Loaf and Ellen Foley howling together \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eon 'Bat Out Of Hell.' Musical comparisons aside, the Black \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMountain full-length is one part protest song, one part \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epop-cultural commentary, and one part sick-groove-rock \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecasserole peppered with mesmerizing ballads and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eintoxicating ditties. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Modern Music\" is the lead-off hitter and counts it's way to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe imposing and riff-rife \"Don't Run Our Hearts Around\". \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImmediately thereafter, the sludge-rock masterpiece \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Druganaut\" establishes the fecund heart and tone of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erecord.
