  1. The unrelenting force of these songs almost becomes too much, but Waterfall is over before you know it and somehow leaves you begging for more.
  2. 80
    Waterfall sees the shadowy 24-year-old advance the weird, industrial sonics that caught everyone’s attention in the first place into even bolder territory.
  3. 75
    Waterfall is massive and unyielding, and marks Evian Christ now as a producer who’s mastered both tactile and intricate beats.

    Impressive as it can be in small doses, Waterfall as a whole plows ahead like a WWI-era tank, heavy and lumbering and powerful but pretty much limited to a single direction.

    It's like walking through smoke and mirrors towards an utterly empty dancefloor, a kind of nightmare inversion of TNGHT's rave exuberance. [Apr 2014, p.73]

    Waterfall is promising, but it’s perhaps the first Evian Christ release that hasn’t amazed me.

    More of a step sideways, then, but one which keeps us very much interested in what comes next.

    This won't be Evian Christ's greatest moment, but it could be a crucial stepping stone.

    As a fully formed whole it's lacking; as nucleus around which a future proliferates and ideas expand, it's seriously exciting.
  10. 42
    Once you’ve heard one track from Waterfall (ideally “Salt Carousel”), you’ve pretty much heard them all, and while such a lack of variety might not be a nuisance to a live audience, it’s a problem when a four-song, fifteen-minute EP already feels a little stale halfway through.
