    The self-produced Watershed is the best thing she's done since 1992's "Ingenue." [Feb 2008, p.96]
  2. The frame of reference effortlessly spans country, bossa nova and a few different shades of vintage pop, with only one distracting allusion (the late-era Beatles crescendo that swells up within “Close Your Eyes”).
  3. With Watershed, k.d. lang does what the gifted and the lucky always should: improve as time passes.
