Setting The Woods On Fire is a studio album by The Walkabouts. [5]
Jason Ankeny, for AllMusic, wrote: "A sweeping, stately record, it owes a great deal to the Stones' Exile on Main St. " [2] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "a strong collection of original material." [4] Trouser Press called it "consistently ace," writing that "strong tunes like 'Firetrap', 'Good Luck Morning' and the rousing, horn-driven 'Hole in the Mountain' [are] given a spiky, full-bodied grace." [6] Uncut deemed it an "underselling classic" that "captures perfectly [the band's] haunted experimentalism." [7] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that the album's "disposition is pensive and vaguely ominous throughout." [8]
