Wayter Album Reviews in Panic Dots and AAAMusic!



...the counterplay between the vocals and the guitar creates a wave of mellifluence that seeps out of your speakers and washes over your ears, before punching you full in the stomach with a chorus packed full of primal screams and banshee guitars. - Panic Dots

The excellent Wayter are continuing to rake in the compliments for their debut album release, Feeding Time, with the band receiving positive reviews from Panic Dots and AAAMusic.

First up Panic Dots give the album a rating of 5/5! Drawing comparisons with the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Jane's Addiction and Sonic Youth, the album is given high praise indeed with the writer indicating that after a few listens Feeding Time grows in stature and by "the third time, any doubts I had about the quality of this debut had completely dissolved."

It is the instances of quiet within the raucous noise that manages grab a hold of the listener’s attention. - AAAMusic

AAMusic also build comparisons with the late 80's and mid 90's stating that "Feeding Time is basically a more angsty adaption of a Smashing Pumpkins album; is this too high an accolade?", before going on to indicate that the album was a positive listening experience and that the band will grow with their next release.
