"This collaboration between Steven Wilson and Mikael Akerfeldt is everything I'd hoped it would be. It's elegant, playful, mysterious and odd.

"Wonderful and dark. I probably overuse the word dark when describing dark sounding music. I could just say it's wonderful because that's what it is. All of her music is wonderful in that dark sorta way though haha."  Reply

"Primal Scream have made another classic album to join the ranks of Screamadelica and Xtrmntr, demonstrating more intelligence and rock'n'roll spirit on their 10th album than most of today's rockers can manage in a career, More Light is effortlessly cool."  Reply

"A very obscure album for McCartney standards. Overall is good with some good tracks and some less interesting ones. I can't help to think that it would be really good if the tracklist was cut from 16 to 10 or 11 tracks. Albums got really long in the cd era and I don't think that was a good thing ..."  [+]  Reply
