Well worth the wait.
-
A stunning return to form.
-
Toying with sound and rhythm, noise and melody, Square is less minimalist than Hope, more fractured than Second.
-
This album is a detour from the straightforwardness of Per Second, which means that comparatively it also often feels disjointed and uncomfortable.
-
Wheat's scrappy though sometimes endearing fourth album is clearly a stylistic protest against their only major-label release, 2003's bland, vexed, much-delayed-by-Sony Per Second, Per Second, Per Second . . . Every Second.
-
There are dozens of bands that do this kind of stuff better, including Wheat themselves.
-
The entire album reeks of unnecessary ostentation.
