The last six aren't bad at all, but I'm guessing one of the first three is going to win this...

I can't help it, I have to vote for Over The Edge

― StanM, Saturday, 16 May 2009 21:35 (sixteen years ago)

Over the Edge for me too.

Is This Real? for me.

in my old age, i've really gotten into land of the lost and the circle. i play follow blind maybe once a year. but of the first three...sheesh, they all sound great to me. but i might have to go with youth. sadly, i've never heard any of the 90's stuff.

I can't vote here cuz all I've ever had was Youth Of America on tape. But NB it ruled.

It's been years since I really listened to any of these, I recall that "Over the Edge" has a certain maturity to it, and the production has a warmer, peeing in the pool, quality that seemed comforting in it's insecurity.

Also seemed to be a lot there that Cobain nicked, sorta proto-grunge. I know that Pavitt was a huge Wipers fan, and I can bore you at length about that.

kurdt was a huge fan.

Whoa, The Circle has more great songs than I remembered. "True Believer" feeling kinda revelatory today.

I still treasure land of the lost fyi

― del esdichado (NickB), Friday, 26 May 2017 22:12 (eight years ago)

the circle is awesome, my favorite

― brimstead, Saturday, 27 May 2017 02:04 (eight years ago)

Greg Sage's "Straight Ahead" is my favorite Wipers related album after the first 3. It's almost ambient in places.
