    While it's true that Was I The Wave? is no booming party-starter, it's hard to deny its emotion and beauty.

    Although some of the sounds used are radically new to the Miracle Fortress repertoire, Was I The Wave? demonstrates the perfect amount of experimentation and development of the band's sound while remaining true to the music of its past.

    Van Pelt is not designing sounds to blow us into a new paradigm, but crafting textures to drawn us in, to subsume, to mesmerize, and perhaps, through a combination of these effects, to softly awe.

    While Van Pelt has crafted an album that's sharper in most ways than his debut, it could do with a bit more of these tracks' personality and sense of melodic wonder.

    With more ups than downs, Was I The Wave? is a pleasant diversion with a small handful of truly inspired moments.
