UncutAt times songs pass by too easily. [Sep 2004, p.104]
-
While Waves is not quite a knockout, it delivers some undeniable pleasures nonetheless.
-
Under The RadarWithout the production pizzazz that made Slowdive so compelling, Goswell is left somewhat adrift. [#7]
-
The sad thing about Waves are Universal is that there are many songs that just don't cut it.
-
Goswell deserves praise for putting together a solid album that could appeal to both fans of her previous work and others.
-
Waves is an album filled with nice touches and sincere sentiment, not much more.
-
Despite the pristine texture, though, many of the melodies find themselves veering into the frankly repulsive world of adult contemporary.
-
The record is rather safe, lacking an adventurousness that is only touched upon and possibly kept under wraps for the sake of not seeming like too much of a departure.
-
There are too many ambitious singer/songwriter albums out there to easily justify any water-treading.
