    This feels like a band overflowing with ideas in a productive way.

    It's heady.... Wand delivers dynamic, lysergic rock 'n' roll. [No. 125, p.61]

    Hanson artfully pits his airy vocals and kaleidoscopic harmonies (there's a pronounced Kinks vibe) against thick, sludgy guitar riffs and crashing drums.

    The unpredictability factor will cause some to turn to something easier on the ear, but if you were to persevere with 1000 Days, it’s very likely that you would appreciate it.

    1000 Days swings wildly from Black Sabbath-style paranoia to delicate Van Dyke Parks weirdness with an increasingly erudite command of garage rock while still managing to maintain much of the enigmatic charm of their previous releases.

    1000 Days is even more assured, and it often veers into being overproduced and losing that essential 1970s DIY role-playing game spirit.

    1000 Days sounds like a Cory Hanson solo album and a stagnant development for Wand, who, instead of progressing toward a heavy psych sound patently their own, settle for a gentler, safer pop record.
