Despite its mild reception, Land of the Lost is a good album. It doesn’t have the cohesiveness or distinct identity that the previous three Wipers albums had, such as Is This Real?‘s punk-inspired new wave, Youth of America‘s perfect bridge of punk rock and post-punk, or even Over the Edge‘s raw energy and killer riffs, but it’s full of tight punk rock songs thanks to Greg Sage’s amazing ability to write melodic, catchy guitar lines as if he were born to do so. Wipers fans, don’t overlook all albums past their first three. Land of the Lost does the band justice.
