Beautiful, deeply intelligent album

"I LOVED Lullaby's previous release, Blanket Warm, and at first I couldn't grasp "I Never Even Asked For Light." Now, however, both are equally amazing. "Light" has a more aggressive edge, but the same dark poetry and complex accoustic instrumentation. "Hypnotist" contains my favorite Lullaby lyric: "I dreamt I was a firefighter, but the flames were never real. I dreamt I was an engineer, and I designed it dear, the world's perfect treadmill. I dreamt I was a hypnotist, a farmer and an architect, a poet and an acrobat. I dreamt the flames were real." Original and beautiful, as is the whole album."
