Amazing album! by M. Scaletta (IL, USA)  5 Stars
October 09, 2008
Per Second is an amazingly consistent, incredible CD. All the tracks are good, but These are Things and Closer to Mercury stand out as the truly amazing of the bunch.

Don't listen to the negative by J. Michael Abernathy (mobile, al. USA)  4 Stars
July 29, 2008
Just don't listen to the negative reviews on this cd. It starts out with a bang and keeps it up the whole cd. The absolute gem of this cd is Closer to Mercury, what a song. I don't know where the negative reviewers are coming from.

A Huge Disappointment after 1999's brilliant "Hope and Adams" by Dave Murray  1 Stars
July 04, 2007
I was, and still am, a huge fan of Wheat's 1999 album, "Hope and Adams". Comparisons at that time to Wilco, Paul Westerberg, Whiskeytown, etc, were all warranted and, as expected, the album has stood the test of time...
Four years later, we get "Per second, Per second, Per second... Every Second". My first impression after listening to the album was a sense of bewilderment at the obvious change of musical direction, evident from the outset on "I Met A Girl". This shallow faux pop style, prevalent throughout the whole album, devoid of any lyrical value, leads me to conclude one of two things; 1. They have a new songwriter and the good one left the band; or 2. the band as a whole decided that they should 'sell out' and write a pop album that would be appropriate for daytime radio. Either way, this album is 'Annus Horribilus' and should be avoided at all costs. I can only assume that their new album, "Everyday" is every bit as bad.

Not worth it. by Anna Vawn (Massachusetts) 1 Stars
May 03, 2007
I bought this CD without knowing anything about the band, never having heard any of Wheat's singles, or even having read a review. The cover looked interesting, and, since I didn't have much money to spend, the $11 price was appealing.
In short, their name perfectly describes their music: it is bland, completely unoriginal, and each song sounds like the next. The songs are formulaic, and the lyrics are mundane. Nothing is particularly catchy, or even worth being dubbed a "guilty pleasure." It's just a boring, nothing CD. If you want catchy, indie rock, listen to the New Pornographers or even Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. They actually deliver the fun melodies and spunk that Wheat promises, without sounding like everything else on the radio.

6 out of 5 stars by Joni Keane (Nashville, TN) 5 Stars
December 29, 2006
"I Met a Girl" is the worst song on the cd. Any of the people who reviewed this cd and said that their radio single "I Met a Girl" is their only good song are the same people that love "sugar we're going down" (fall out boy). They are not listening to the album. They listen to the song they like and skip every other song.
I do not know a person that has listeneed to every single song and does not like this cd. I'm not lying.
This is a cd that is worth the money. If you don't like then sell it back to amazon. I think this cd is absolutely perfect.

| Everyday I Said a Prayer for Kathy and Made a One Inch Square
by Wheat
Wheat's fourth full-length album, is nothing short splendid. From the celestial shimmer of 'Closeness', which opens the new album, to the pastoral instrumental poem, 'Courting Ed Templeton', which closes it, 'Everyday I Said A Prayer..' marks a splendid return to the incandescent form that yielded the delicious 'Medeiros' and the indie-pop gem 'Hope & Adams'.

| Medeiros/Hope And Adams Re-issue
by Wheat
Specially priced deluxe double CD re-issue of two '90s indie rock classics plus a bonus third CD of rarities. Massachusetts' Wheat has deliberately avoided the spotlight over their four album career. 1998's "Medeiros" was praised for its air of serene resignation, its aquatic wash of keyboards, slowly warping guitar chords, and gently urgent rhythms. "Hope And Adams" is now regarded as a touchstone of the late '90s indie rock scene. Look for their next album, "White Ink, Black Ink", in May.

| White Ink, Black Ink
by Wheat
With their shimmering new album, Taunton' MA's Wheat is back from an extended period of musical hibernation. Following the critical success of their first albums, 1998's "Medeiros" and 1999's "Hope And Adams", the band released their major label debut in 2003, followed a few years later by a home-recorded album; the latter allowing them to reconnect with the process of musical experimentation and improvisation. This, their latest release, contains some of the most concise, well-written songs of...
