Review
Complex, awe-inspiring, and fresh with fretwork excitement, John Darnielle steps up to the mike with guitar in hand, revealing sentimental and emotionally charged acoustic gems. Leader of the Mountain Goats, Darnielle doesn't hide any sense of creativity while composing the material for this record. All Hail West Texas has juicy bits and pieces of melodic tapestry, with a forceful percussive background statement keeping the music afloat. Perhaps what most often reveal themselves during this lush and stylistically complex endeavor are the mature and naturally contemplative lyrics that Darnielle has been able to put together into his songs. Highlights such as "Riches and Wonders" and "Distant Stations" jump at the chance to grab the listener. Other tunes that break through indie-level barriers are the eclectic "Fall of the Star High School Running Back" and the original "Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton." The textured feel of the variety of sounds and notes created by the Mountain Goats is appealing and gripping, a foray into sounds chilling and pristine. The delivery of the lyrics is wondrous and breathtaking during certain moments. The band's instrumental ability possesses dexterous flair, and the result is the charm of the record's immediacy and absorbing emotional impact. The tragic weakness of All Hail West Texas is perhaps its need for persistent listening in order to understand the direction of the music. However, maybe that just proves to be the magic key, and the route to further
appreciation of this particular period of the Mountain Goats' music. ~ Shawn M. Haney, ----All Music Guide

洛基山山羊（Mountain Goats）：
血缘更接近亚洲羚羊， 全身长长年白毛配上一对光滑黑角，只有靠缠在母羊脚边的小羊，区分山羊性别。与糜鹿、大角羊相较，山羊比较孤僻。特殊构造的蹄，让山羊得以在高山悬崖行走自如，因而谷地少见，通常出没在山区的雪线与森林之间，只有春天雪融之际，山羊"下凡"舔食矿物质，才有机会仔细观察。山悬崖是山羊的天然护卫，偶而金鹰冲向悬崖夺走羔羊，雪崩、落石及饥荒反而是山羊天敌。杰士伯南边37公里的冰原大道边及冰原北边的山瓦普塔峡谷，库特尼国家公园附近黑克特峡谷的渥道貌岸然山是山羊较常出没的地区。
