Where the [Cocteau] Twins tended toward soft-focus, the Delays are more rocking, thanks to a big-bottomed rhythm section. [21 May 2004, p.77]
-
60Despite some strong ideas and a few memorable songs, Faded Seaside Glamour remains notable mostly for the vocals: the album's ups and downs follow Gilbert's voice almost exactly, best when he's hitting high notes, mundane when he's not.
-
30If The Delays had succeeded in making the latter five-sixths of their debut as wondrous as the first portion, they could be credited with fair miracles.
