Primal Scream – More Light

After Evil Heat this is probably the last good album Primal Scream made even if it’s more of a track back to the Give Out style. Definitely a worthwhile listen and we can only hope they make something as good again.

I really don’t understand what the other posts are on to with this record. I think it sounds fantastic. Haven’t listened to this record in quite sometime and maybe that helped but man, this thing is awesome

Really bad mix. This album deserves a fix. Great music, but bad sound.

Unpleasantly busy. Not a good pressing. Shame. Its a Wonderful album. No clicks or pops though, just a barrage of noise throughout

A real good album from a band that started its career more than 25 years earlier. There's really not that many "rock" acts that can claim such a feat.

Audio quality of this record is not good. Pressing is fine (heavy vinyl, no hiss, no clicks and pops), but dynamics is really sub par. I could not find enough differences between CD and vinyl waveforms, which might mean that they just crammed CD master to LP. CD actually does its job better, as there are audible issues with high frequencies on LP. What a shame

More Light is a welcome shock to the ears ... extreme music for extreme urgent times, zooming in out of the sun like a fighter jet barrel-rolling on overdrive, engines screaming, and from the cockpit, a gloved wave and smile from a pilot who’s sonically fueled Primal Scream filled headphones cause him to punch into hyperdrive and vanish on a storm of dust, flying at treetop level to parts unknown.

It’s a sprawling record moving like quick-silver, balanced, unusual, complex, haunting, frenetic, and owning every element in the atmosphere it touches, sounding important and vital ... though it struck me, that this is first and last a grouping of songs that need to be experience live. The band seems to have once again taken a giant step forward, crossing and embracing other genres, reminding me instantly of early Pink Floyd, and the effect The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper had on us all. There’s a distant eerie jazz vibe of sorts that rides just below the surface, entering at just the right stage, harking back memories of Spirit’s first release, sounding laid back, yet nearly demanding that the volume be turned up and up and up ... until the music doesn’t just flow through the air, it flows through the listener, bouncing along at a calculated hectic pace filled with optimism and sophisticated wide-eyed wonder; and even when slowed down, dripping with emotion, it smothers you in sound.

You're gonna be treated to updated 60's garage psych, 90's Spiritualized, 00's Back Angels, and it's all laced together like "Sometime Anywhere" by The Church ... yet it's pure Primal Scream at their very best.

One of the best Scream albums since XTMNTR. Vinyl package is pretty good, sounds great. cd included in a plastic slip case, nothing fancy but nothing needed i guess.
