Amazon.co.uk Review
The Mountain Goats are not really a band, more an idea that first occurred to prolific American singer-songwriter John Darnielle in the early 1990s. We Shall All Be Healed is the Mountain Goats' second album for 4AD, following 2002's excellent Tallahassee, and Darnielle has largely maintained the course he set with the earlier record. The songs are as lyrically intricate as they are musically simplistic, Darnielle's voice delivering his odd, evocative words over a clattering backdrop of mostly acoustic instruments. It is occasionally quite an abrasive listen, but on the more tuneful tracks, such as "Quito" and the splendidly titled "Linda Blair Was Born Innocent", it's not hard to imagine that Darnielle's brusque, fundamentalist approach to recording might, if the planets align in an especially weird way, work for him the way it did for the White Stripes. --Andrew Mueller

Good and different to tallahasse
These are my impressions of the album: refreshing, relaxing, well produced. The album is a lot more finely produced than anything before Tallashasse but though this sound is different, it's a very nice album. I wasn't sure what to make of it first but this is certainly not a regression, the lyrics are catchy and memorable, the acoustic is as nice as ever and John's voice is piercing in a very pleaseant way. I wouldn't call it amazing though, and some of the songs are slighty more generic imo, not in a glaring way but perhaps slighly more mainstream. This isnt negative, I like the way their sound is progressing. It's an album you could put on repeat for hours and still be captivated.
Keep up the good work!
