The sound works for me 9 April 2008
Format:Audio CD
Contrary to Rezzaks review - I think the sound of this album COMPLETELY works and is not the first time they have recorded this way - Listen to their finest work on POD!!!
In fact it is quite refreshing not to hear an overproduced sound nowadays. i'm only on my second listen but it's probably their finest and most surprising work to date

Despite a promising start, Mountain Battles never recreates the form shown on Last Splash or in the band members's other projects The Pixies and Throwing Muses.
Not that The Breeders are ready to be put out to grass just yet - tracks like Bang On, Istanbul and No Way demonstrate that there's plenty of worth in Mountain Battles, and followers of The Breeders will be satisfied at what is an increasingly rare outing for the group.
There's just too many disappointments in between holding the album back for the casual listener.

Refraze, et al. 1 Feb 2012
By Rooksby
Format:Audio CD
I wish folk would stop droning on about The Last Splash. The Breeders have made 4 albums &, on reflection, it's The Last Splash that's the aberration. Commercial, compromised, a handful of great tracks surrounded by a bunch of mediocre ones. Their 2 LPs since, Mountain Battles & Title TK, hark back to the muddier basement atmospheres of Pod, their 1990 debut, & both find Kim & Kelley single-mindedly forging their own opaque path. Of the 2, Title TK is the most accessible (by a whisker), but Mountain Battles definitely shouldn't be ignored - it's a smouldering, shadowy collection of songs that evades obvious tangibility. The entire LP seems audibly smeared somehow, & is curiously, tantilisingly indecipherable, even down to the noncommittal title. So many (unanswered) questions. Personally, I love it (& them).

Highly underrated!!
The best Breeders release since Last Splash. While not being the most cohesive album, Mountain Battles is definitely the best sounding. Read more

Warm Analogue Sound!
I bought this album the day it came out (ignoring the fact it had already been leaked on the net). I was gobsmacked how muddy the sound was at first. Read more

A great, great album
Easily their best. If you like imaginative, experimental, intelligent music then this is for you.

Think they forgot the music
Really boring album. All the tracks are slow and quiet and are basically just Kim talkin over a guitar being gently strummed.

A breeders fan and not impressed.

Bang On
This album probably won't win any new fans but to the converted it shouldn't hold any surprises; it's a typically bittersweet eclectic set from the Breeders and will grow on you... Read more
