I love the Wipers.
 

Honestly, I get more shit for this band than any other (because they are "boring") but fuck I love them.

I guess I should have posted this under that "blown away" thread but it's St. Patrick's Day so fuck it.

IT'S SUCH A LONG WAY DOWN! Maybe a floor below would ease the pain.

Who ever said they were boring?

Ace band, great first 3 albums and some good songs here or there on all the others.

A handful of people I know but you do not.

Sound like they're a bunch of boring people.

they're awesome..not boring at all.

i got that collection with their first three albums in it about a year ago and have had one of the cds in my car at all times since...they maybe dont have the instant "holy shit thats crazy awesome" appeal of...lightning bolt or something...but a couple listens and i was hooked

whoa, anyone who says a band like the wipers is boring is not only wrong, theyre stupid. i havnt ever heard anyone say that, even those not into them can appreciate them, hard band not to like really.

i actyually like the first five albums to be honest, but the first three dont have a bad song. i have them on the boxset thing.

Most people upon first listening to The Wipers will either like them immediately or have trouble getting over the vocals.

I've heard the "boring" thing a couple of times, and I suppose that's due to the rhythm section always staying strictly in the pocket with no fancy frills. But these are kids riddled by ADHD, Mr. Bungle, video game music, and so-called "math-rock" which really doesn't progress past algebra I rock (they choke on the calculus-level stuff like Trout Mask or U.S. Maple's Talker). It takes a lot to deprogram bad taste like that.

But I love Mr. Bungle and video game music :(

But that seems to be ALL they are willing to like!

Yes, fair point!

The Wipers are a genius band by the way. Amazing guitar lines!!

Yeah, Disco Volante is amazing. And everyone I've personally know into Mr. Bungle is an open-minded, interesting person.

I listen to The Wipers very often in the morning on my way to work. They don't bore me at all, if they bore someone else, I'm sure they understood that they should be listening to something else, by now.

"When It's Over".

All I'm saying.

Yeah same here... but I've met some Mr Bungle fans online and... oh god.

As far as their later stuff is concerned, anyone else a big fan of "I'll be around"? I love that song.

"Push me OVER THE EEEEEEEEDGE!", "RETURN OF THE RAT"

the Wipers were the kings of fist pumping opening tracks.

member the guitar player fro limp bizkit was way into mr bungle?

The guitar player from Limp Bizkit rules though.
