3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat flat, though often beautiful in its own way., January 15, 2000

This review is from: No More Wading (Audio CD)

Jen Wood's songwriting has a problem with being highly repetitive, sometimes even monotonous. Her guitar playing, a low drone that suggests bass playing techniques, usually reserves itself to the low end, and her minimalistic arrangements (guitar/vocal) gets tiresome after a while.

Given that, she does have a nice voice reminiscent of Suzanne Vega, good harmonies when she indulges, and the churning strums of her guitar achieves a kind of moody appeal. It's just a shame that she doesn't vary her performances enough to sustain an entire album. Getting Past the Static corrects somewhat on these flaws.
