BlenderThere's something about the precision of the gear changes and the crisp efficiency of Rob Schnapf's production that hits the spot, however derivatively. [Apr 2004, p.134]
-
This album tends to lean more toward the psychedelic ballads, which slows down the action a little too much.
-
There seems to be a hollowness, a lack of soul, an empty Big Mac carton where this album's heart should be.
-
Ultimately, Winning Days is an highly frustrating listen.
-
MojoThe Vines are mostly surface and scratch, a vessel of strangely useless beauty. [Apr 2004, p.114]
-
Alternative PressThere's not much left for the Vines' frontman other than his music, which on Winning Days seems more like an afterthought--if not the work of an unbearably bad Oasis record. [Apr 2004, p.98]

JackKMar 25, 2004A bit of a letdown, but an average Vines record is still better than most good records. They simply need to start finding their own vibe.
