My first idea of Lights was pretty different than how she is now. She used to be a playful, awesome, happy-go-lucky intergalactic hippy, and now she's all about love. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but from the February Air single to Siberia, she's been changing.
One of the things i've realized in the Siberia album is that she has gotten pretty advanced in Dubstep. It actually sort of reminds me of the band Skrillex! In the song Fourth Dimension, there is an instrumental bridge which uses the now-popular distortion synth technique. On YouTube, people are pretty against her new synthesizer distortions, but I think she's just trying to try new things.
One of the most surprising things I found on the album was the last track, Day One, which was actually in the Experimental genre of music. Both me and my friends think that she must be very brave to put such a difference of her regular genre on her album. It was very... New. I had never heard of Experimental music when I first heard it, and I obviously was not used to it. Therefore, my first impression on this song was, "Did her equipment get run over by a truck or something?" Yeah, that was very surprising.
I think the best performance she did out of all of the songs was Where The Fence Is Low. She totally aced the high notes, and the combination of instruments in the song made it sound amazing. I saw in some live videos that she struggled with the high notes in the bridge, but she handled it and finished off the song perfectly.
I think the most hard to find on the internet was her bonus song, Frame And Focus. I checked all over, on 4Shared and YouTube, and I didn't find it until about October 12. Now either YouTube lies or i'm bad at looking for things, because YouTube claimed that a user, cursethetide507, posted it on October 2. But overall, after I listened to it, I was very pleased, as with most other of Lights' songs. It sort of reminded me of the Transformers theme.
Overall, the album was very creative and deserves five stars, in my opinion. Like I said, Lights has become very advanced in Synth and Dubstep. I don't know about you others, but dubstep is one of my favorite genres of music. So, one note to Lights: It was awesome!
This has been an Unprofessional Critique of a new album.

Are there oceans full of things you never see?
Are there skylines of the cities you don't see?
Is there music muted playing underneath?
Is mathematics keeping you from thinking free?
Do you see lights?
Turn your shadows white
White white white white
White white white white
Don't let rain clouds
Cloud all of your parades
Let the other side of darkness kiss your face
Into the sea, into the sea
Do you see lights?
Turn your shadows white
Do you feel bright?
Turn your shadows white
All the things I want to say
All the shadows in the way
Do you see lights?
Turn your shadows white
Do you feel bright?
Turn your shadows white
