Even though USA Today can barely be called a newspaper (it's just a colorful, shallow collection of sound-bites), it DOES have a large national distribution.
The rating of **** (out of four) even beat out Carly Simon's compilation album which only rated ***1/2 !

The sleeper album of the year comes from this respected Australian singer/songwriter, whose previous Wanted Man made many '94 top 10 lists. The fuller-sounding Water, released in September when it was overshadowed by top-40 blockbusters, is prime grown-up rock: a dozen uncommonly resonant songs, played tight and written deep. The lyrical title song addresses no less than the primal passages of a man's life with stunning precision and not a drop of grandiosity. Equally stunning are Blush, an erotic, driving rocker; the raw I'll Forgive but I Won't Forget; the insistent Give In to My Love; and Anastasia Changes Her Mind, a haunting pop gem.
