    There is some good stuff on here, but alot of it just doesn't really work, and his need to be different ruins some the albums more promising moments. Overall, kind of a disappointment.

    There's a young man's honest pain behind all of the flowery English vernacular.

    If 'Wind In The Wires' is not exactly an innocent record, then, it is certainly sincere. And that sincerity, allied to such extraordinary sounding songs, makes for an exhilarating experience. [12 Feb 2005, p.49]
