    This is a fine piece of synthpop that is a good addition to the collection of any fan of this genre.

    Lights is at times let down by this lack of variation.

    Sadly, Siberia is lacking any genuine spark.

    The bulk of the album's 14 tracks find her playing it safe with a helium-voiced squeak reminiscent of (take your pick) Gwen Stefani, Santigold, Kate Bush or Cyndi Lauper. [Nov 2011, p.97]

    Taking the lyrical poetry of The Listening and skipping past its auto-tuned hiccups, Lights has created an album worthy of its praise.Taking the lyrical poetry of The Listening and skipping past its auto-tuned hiccups, Lights has created an album worthy of its praise. Complete with a deluge of pop tracks so soothing to the ears, they'd top charts, the album is carried by a shockingly gleeful feeling of desolation. Even carefree pop tracks such as Toes and Peace Sign feel as if they're being sung from the bleakness of an arctic tundra. Shamefully this is a gem of an album that has gone virtually unnoticed by the pop world. Full Review »

    Lights is my absolute favorite musician of all time. every album she releases is a breath of fresh air and addition to my ever growing albumsLights is my absolute favorite musician of all time. every album she releases is a breath of fresh air and addition to my ever growing albums by her. Siberia while very different from The Listening is absolutely amazing it mixes synth, pop and dubstep in a beautiful harmony that anyone can enjoy! Full Review »
