"Four Chords That Made a Million is a good song, but it's probably one of the wekaer tracks on its parent CD, Lightbulb Sun. The b-sides are excellent, however, and one wonders how they were left off of the CD.All in all, an excellent single."

""4 chords.." is my favorite track on Porcupine Tree's new album "Lightbulb sun". This song manages to be both catchy and intricate at the same time, and it's a very intriguing mix of art-pop and progressive rock with an avant-garde touch. I love this sort of soaring, fuzzy guitar riffs, it reminds me of Main's output, particularly "Hydra-Calm" and "Dry stone feed". The two non-album tracks are good but nothing to get too awfully excited about. "Disappear" features acoustic guitars, and "In formaldehyde" has a delicate, romantic melody. All in all, this 12 1/2-minute CD-single is a worthwhile addition to the album. There are also several other editions of "4 chords.." available; the vinyl single, for example, contains another non-album track ("Orchidia")."
