MOG Editorial Review

The early '80s were full of unsung heroes secretly creating what would eventually be known as alt-rock, but Greg Sage and his Wipers project still toil in obscurity even as peers like Mission of Burma get late-career accolades. Over the years, the Portland rockers insulated themselves with a DIY ethic that led them to create their own strain of rock, one that combined a punk ethos with its own takes on everything from rock to folk. The result may sound familiar in a lot of ways today, but nobody did it quite like Wipers did, and it's easy to see exactly what icons like Kurt Cobain saw in songs like "Soul's Tongue" that would eventually inspire rock's next generation. Wipers collected body of work is nothing short of a missing link in the rock world, and this compilation is a more than enjoyable form of education.
AMG Review of Best of Wipers and Greg Sage

Ari Wiznitzer
All Music Guide

The Wipers have a long-standing reputation as sounding like "Jimi Hendrix fronting a garage band," and while Greg Sage's nimble fretwork might draw comparisons to Hendrix, the Wipers prove on this disc that they're far more proficient than any garage band. The pulsating rhythm section manages to sound vibrant but subdued, allowing Sage's squelching guitar noise to dominate the palette. Unlike other guitar luminaries whose popularity is restrained to a specific audience (e.g., gearheads for Joe Satriani, stoners for Kyuss), Sage's fretboard ramblings made him the favorite guitar hero of the late-'80s underground rock scene. From the deadly riff of "Taking Too Long" to the textured frustration of "Way of Love" to the ringing desire of "Just a Dream Away," Sage proves he is both a versatile and unique talent. Not just among the best of the U.S. post-punk wave, but an enormously influential act that made an indelible mark on styles as disparate as the noise rock of Sonic Youth and Pavement's slacker indie pop.
