I've read a lot of shit by "critics" who claim that the first 3 Wipers albums were stone-cold punk classics, but most everything else they did was subpar filler. What a load of shit. These guys were awesome from beginning to end. FOLLOW BLIND (their fifth album) is a particular favorite. Sage's thick, fuzzy production is very cool, gives even the fiercer rockers a soft edge. Very cold & dreamy, slightly uneasy, dense but raw.
SILVER SAIL came six years later with a similar mellow vibe, but cleaner production.
Just as excellent as the first 3 albums, but in a different vein.
I have yet to read a music critic who isn't a self-important douche bag.
