EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Album Description
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'.

I rounded up (4.5 really) by Christian Bonner (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania United States)

Wheat is a band that has beguiled me for 10 years now. They've never made the same record twice, and it's impossible to anticipate what they'll do next. Of course I'm a fan. "Everyday..." is, IMHO, their masterpiece to date. This album is two years old (almost), and I still listen to it often, hearing things each time I didn't hear before. It's overall otherworldly melancholy casts a spell that's very hard to describe but impossible to shake. Rather similar to "Alas" by Idaho in its singularity and in the way it uncoils and weaves through, "Everyday..." is pretty important - very enigmatic, and a minor landmark.

Wheat lost a little spring in their step on "per second...", but are back in a big way with this release. I was hesitant to even pick this up but am very happy I did. If you were a fan of early Wheat, buy this CD.

A "Prayer" Unanswered by Horoku (Geneva, OH USA)

"Per Second, Every Second", was like a diamond in the rough. "Every Day I Said a Prayer..." is more like a rock in your shoe. I thought from the clips that I heard, that this album would have the same refreshingly different, "uptempo slowjam" kind of feel that started with "I Met a Girl" and was well maintained through "Don't I Hold You". I was wrong. By the time I reached the end of "Courting Ed Templeton" I had come to the grave realization that I wasn't going to get my money back. Listening to this album after "Per Second" though, I couldn't help feeling condescended, as if someone felt that the subtle nuances in the profound yet simple lyrics of "Per Second", and the casually evolving melodies that encapsulated the vocals were too much for me, so I needed to be brought down to a droning synthesizer and and a few mumbled sentences. True, the previous album's lyrics were not verbose, but their simplicity could be described as "elegant". This album seems just plain lazy, with words being overused ad nauseam. And while the former album's scores were not complicated, yet still creative, this album offers listeners little more than a handful of cadences wrapped in newspaper, no card. Maybe the album is called "Every Day I Said a Prayer..." because it sounds like it was made in a monastery, with lyrics repetive enough to rival any prayer book, and melodies redundant enough to move one to prefer silence.

This is the best thing they've recorded since they made "test tones" for The Lips.

Disappointment from a Previously Great Band by A. Hasselwander (Washington, DC USA)

I have to admit, I was really looking forward to Wheat's return after their last album Per Second Per Second Per Second... Every Second. That CD was fresh, interesting, and implied either a next step into Indie greatness or maybe a fizzle into nothingness. Instead, they've gone for something ambitiously different and badly missed. None of the songs are compelling; many are unlistenable. The music is atonal and nihilistic, the melodies are either bland or bad. This will be last Wheat CD.

"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.
