Walk Into a Storm is a 2017 studio album by American indie folk band The Lone Bellow. The album has received positive reviews from critics.
Reception
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3 out of 5 stars, with critic Timothy Monger writing that "the band's formula remains intact as they deliver the gutsy three-part harmonies and foot-stomping folk-soul that have become their trademark" and speculates that this album is a misstep because the band "may [have] settled a little too comfortably into their initial level of success and settled for keeping the machine running". Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter scored this release 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing that the band is more focused on this release and producer Dave Cobb "plays to the band’s strengths". Stephen Thompson of NPR's First Listen wrote that this release "capture[s] the group's earnest, agreeable charm, dispensed via songs that amble and soar" and that it comes "stacked with charisma-drenched ringers". In Paste, Lee Zimmerman scored Walk Into a Storm a 7.6 out of 10, praising the depth of the lyrics and summing up that this release can continue the band's success.
