No problem. The competition was really tough.

Derek 03.18.2009 05:32 PM

hahahaha

atsonicpark 03.18.2009 10:02 PM

Wes Borland is god.

uhler 03.18.2009 11:56 PM

yeah they are one of my favorite bands. i listen to "youth of america" almost every day and sometimes a few times a day.

SonikJesus 06.22.2010 10:15 PM

just got box set in the mail today. listening to youth of america now at work. wow.

atsonicpark 06.22.2010 10:33 PM

Yeah, first 3 albums are unstoppable. They've got a couple great later ones too.

Derek 06.23.2010 04:53 AM

I was just about to listen to Youth of America on my bike ride!

I've been on a Wipers kick lately. bout time I posted in this thread

automatic bzooty 06.23.2010 12:36 PM

youth of america makes me feel like i'm in an 80s/90s arcade game. like street fighter or something.

Murmer99 06.23.2010 02:17 PM

who cares if anyone thinks theyre boring? if you like a band then listen to them without caring about being judged.

to be honest, im such a big fan i like every single album they released...

atsonicpark 06.23.2010 02:43 PM

Eh. "Silver Sail" is pretty bad imo..

Yeah, dude, that's why I didn't make this thread and stopped listening to the Wipers altogether.

atsonicpark 06.23.2010 02:55 PM

Mad, man.

"The legend about this record is that the band had already broken up, Kurt Cobain made them commercially viable again by namechecking and covering them all the time, and Greg Sage purposely torpedoed his chances of cashing in by releasing a quiet, gentle Wipers album that had no similarity to his previous work or relevance to the youth grunge audience."

If that's true then damn, Greg Sage rules even if it did result in a shitty album.

i really like Sage's solo debut, _Straight Ahead_.

reminds me of Ed Kuepper a bit.

atsonicpark 06.24.2010 12:53 PM

I agree, that solo album is amazing, really depressing.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 06.24.2010 01:09 PM

I have never met anyone who knows who the Wipers are and doesn't like them. When I do I will punch them in the face. Well not really, because I am not a violent person.
