    Wet get one moment right--perfect, really--then stretch it out into an entire album on Don't You. The Brooklyn trio's debut draws power from a softly lurching weightlessness, the few seconds of suspended animation when the whole world falls away and you have few seconds of peace before gravity pulls you down.

    Unflinchingly honest, Wet don’t specialise in happy endings, but they’re always telling a good story.

    The rest is beautiful, sure, and there's moments that are truly intoxicating where you just want to stop what you're doing and let it wash over you, but it's also an album that, once it reaches its end, sort of fades away. There's nothing here that really sticks with you for any longer than the album's duration.

    ‘Small And Silver’ is a welcome break around the halfway mark, when their stock in trade is replaced with unsettling bass and an off-beat production. However, it’s only a hint of a promise to explore new territories and doesn’t go far enough to vary the album.

    Kelly Zutrau's pure voice is full of tiny, yodelling curlicues that sound oddly Appalachian, and the songs have the sturdy melodies and heart-wrenching lyrics we associate with Nashville. [Feb 2016, p.84]

    Most of Don’t You aims for Babyface but lands somewhere around Surfacing-era Sarah McLachlan, except nowhere near as good.

The vocals and the lyrics are incredible, and though it may have points that are less than that, the highlights far outweigh any of the "bad" tracks, though in reality, I don't feel there are any actually bad tracks on the album. From the beginning of the album, the songs start out strong with "It's All In Vain" and "Deadwater," which was the band's first official single from the album. Both of these songs are definitely standouts on the album, with others being "Island," "All The Ways," "Move Me," and "Body." While songs like "Don't Wanna Be Your Girl" and "You're The Best" are good, but just not on par with the rest of the album. Overall, this album is a great starting point for this new band.… Expand
