    As an album, WIW seems to have sprung fully-formed from a single night's restlessness; often more organic than much of his debut, but still with a steady electro-backed pulse, its pacing and sequencing flow like water beneath a frozen creek, barely seen and mostly imagined.

    Brings a little focus--and some memorable tunes--to the proceedings, though Wolf's muse remains doggedly eclectic. [May 2005, p.108]

    I am appalled of other reviewers comparing mr wolf with great singers. Sorry guys, but patrick has nothing to do with Jeff Buckley at all. He sounds like a proto-Dave Gahan, or a very proto-Marc Almond, the music is a mixture of folky instrumentation and cheap homemade electronica on the lines of the worst by Bjork. The lyrics are exaggerated and childish, if anything, this guy can make you blush, shame.… Expand
