MojoJul 18, 2012[Dave Gahan's] trademark delivery brings the gravitas to Machin's creeping strings-swaddled, Morricone-like mood. [Jun 2012, p.87]
-
May 21, 2012Initially it's strange to hear that instantly identifiable baritone clashing with organic, rough-edged guitars, dirty Hammond organ, and delicate strings rather than the cold electronics of the day job, but it soon reveals itself to be a perfect pairing.
-
May 21, 2012The Light the Dead See [is] not just an exciting meeting of troubled minds, but a well designed full-length, offering a persuasive rainy day soundtrack that works even when there's not a cloud in the sky.

UncutMay 21, 2012The ingrained instinct for grandiosity can grate, but Gahan has never sounded better, his voice bringing power, purpose and unity to a project that's previously delivered less than thew sum of its parts. [Jun 2012, p.83]

Jun 27, 2012This is the stuff of Hollywood film soundtracks, and Gahan's robust baritone is a perfect fit for the proceedings.

Jun 19, 2012The Light the Dead See is an album you listen to late at night, possibly in the dark, and absolutely alone.

May 23, 2012The Light the Dead See is a good and, at times, even great album. It just ultimately fails to live up to the standard set by its predecessors.
