A work of absolute beauty, chaos, seductive darkness and cosmic light.
-
[The] longer track... just completely derails what would otherwise be a fairly solid and concise album.
-
Through its overarching range, it ably balances silence with noise, restraint with reckless abandon.
-
MagnetGhost's most ambitious achievement yet. [#74, p.98]
-
And though In Stormy Nights-- with its numerous false leads, over-the-top presentation and undisguised self-indulgence-- can hardly be said to be a perfect work, one has to admire and celebrate Ghost's determination never to step in the same river twice.
-
It's a more oblique successor to 1999's self-explanatory 'Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet', and, paradoxically, their most focused effort yet.
-
Difficult. All very difficult. But cheap dates get old quick, don't they?
-
SpinAn ecstatic, angry, gorgeously mournful manifesto. [Jan 2007, p.89]
-
While the album as a whole is far from being perfect, moments of it are some of the most gorgeous and interesting things I have heard.
-
In Stormy Nights is by no means the first time Ghost have plugged in and upped the volume, but it is easily their most unhinged, aggressive record; they make a show of steamrolling their subtler instincts.
-
UncutThe intense grandeur... is still quite a shock. [Feb 2007, p.73]
-
Under The RadarOn In Stormy Nights, Ghost does what they do best--compress decades of psychedelic and avant-garde music into a modern melange that will please fans from the folk end of the spectrum to the harshest of noiseniks. [#16, p.99]
