Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "Danger Mouse can't help but brighten up his section of the album, but the rest of LIGHT YEARS is vintage dreamy 'Horse.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Swirling psychedelic pop, frenetic British Invasion bashers, and languid California country rock....The sound remains crisp, ensuring that its rough-hewn beauty shines through.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "They fuse oddly enchanting sounds and mysterious images with engaging, hazy pop melodies.", "Linkous' cracked, occasionally Gollum-like vocal delivery provides the comforting anchor to this simply dreamy album." -- Grade: A-, "The music of Sparklehorse is roots-rock, but the roots aren't buried in the earth. Instead, they've been upended, spreading outward like branches, drawing their sweetness and energy from the thin air.", Ranked #59 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Linkous' imagery is febrile, with stars dying in his chest, fat spiders exploding in the sun, flocks of knives cutting the sky....It's unmistakable, unsettling, classic Linkous.", Ranked #34 in Spin's "The 40 Best Albums of 2006" -- "With timeless melodies and delicate lyrics that toggle between effervescent and achingly sad."
