    Wallpaper Music is a lot more complicated than it seems, and those complications give it a depth and resonance that most garage punk records can't muster.

    Novak may keep his arrangements raw and his vocals tunefully challenged, but his songcraft improves with every tune.

    The energy levels provided by the quick guitar riffs vary per song, but Cheap Time manages to provide a heavy dose of pure punk dirtiness.

    Novak's songwriting abilities are evident, especially on the comfortable sway of "Take It If You Want It". Yet these moments of clarity are few and far between. Instead, Wallpaper Music comes across as a rushed effort.
