| − | A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes "Wight Spider" as having "Massive chords replete with omonious semi-tones. This may not be groundbreaking stuff for the band, but it is what they do best. Spooky black-glam vocal delivery and taunting bullying choruses with falsetto layers that dance round you like a black mass meets the hokey-cokey.

Lyrically, the themes fit, with accusations of "possession" and an aggressive recurring "you". Again there are melodic similarities to material from [[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)|Holywood]], but not so much as to be embarrassing.
