User Album Review
Steve Hackett has had a remarkable output over the last few years, which required him to be on tour almost non-stop. His music is still a highly interesting symbiosis of different styles and influences. This factor gets a whole new dimension with Wolflight.
He masters both harmonious melodies and complex instrumentals. Wolflight is the album of a traveller who never has a fixed aim and is at peace with himself at the moment. But sometimes you wish for a bolder Hackett with more surprises up his sleeve after his many good albums. It's not a thing of changing compositions or arrangements - they're on the same very high level as always - but instead Steve needs to watch out that his sound doesn't get too static. Large parts of Wolflight's sounds seem a little too familiar. His vocals on Wolflight are well-produced, but sometimes it might have been a good idea to bring in guest singers as well. Steve also needs a little push in terms of producing. He should surprise his fans with some different sounds and novel ideas in the production of his next album. The focus shouldn't be on including exotic instruments, but on evolving his sound, especially the drums. If he manages to do that, there's a lot of exciting music to follow after his solid to strong album Wolflight. In either case, one thing should be very clear: Steve Hackett is the one who keeps the progressive legacy of Genesis alive. ---- genesis-news.com
