AMG Review of MC Stands for Revolution

Rob Ferrier
All Music Guide

While the cover is reminiscent of Soviet poster art and the title of the record leads one to expect some sort of Chumbawamba-ish political chest-thumping, this record delivers not messages but coursing thumps. And thank God. A weird cross of hip-hop groove and dobro-drenched honky tonk, Mountain Con are sure to appeal to those on the Beck tip and anyone wondering where country and blues finally remarried. Spot-on call and response, jangly guitars, and fuzz, fuzz, fuzz combine to create a hectic and beautiful stew. This is a wonderful first record.
