Wild Mountain Nation is an unbelievable album. Its fractured pop is frantic, erratic and all over the place, but inspite of its extreme eclecticism it is one of those rare records that is able to do an insane number of different things yet still ultimately, strangely seems to finds its own sonic cohesion amidst the mess. Yes, there's a definite red thread of sorts running though.

There is also this vague country theme going on, though not from song to song but on scattered parts throughout the record. As you listen, imagine the wild mountain nation itself, and you'll find yourself entrapped in its world.

9/10, and fight with me over it if you like, but it's one of the top 20 albums of 2007. Word.
