In a world where most music receives critical acclaim only if the guitarist can write riffs that are mind-bending and extremely technical, Jeremy Enigk shows off his chops as a songwriter. While almost anyone can write a catchy riff, the art of writing a beautiful and complete song is arguably ten times more difficult. Every phrase, note, and rhythm must be taken under intense scrutiny in order to produce something truly masterful. World Waits gives off this exact fragrant aroma. The piano, acoustic guitar, drums, and vocals in this album are interwoven into something that can truly be classified as more than just a song, it is an idea, a way of life, a portion of who Jeremy Enigk is, what he believes, and what he wishes to be. This album is truly classic.
