Review

Presented under the guise of a phony commercial endorsement, Wiseman uses his second solo album to begin airing his heavy political obsessions, replete with song titles like "Diary of a US crop-dusting pilot spraying the defoliant tebuthiuron (spike) on coca plantations in the upper huallaga valley (peru)" and "Another obscure death in the history of the american indian movement (AIM)". While the targets are noteworthy, the lyrics too often read more like diatribe monologues than any type of poetry, and with the exception of "What the astronaut noticed and then suggested" and "Me an arrow", the tunes frequently get short shift in the whole operation. This album finds Wiseman coming into his own as a solo artist, but what it really does is point the way toward things to come. ~ Tomas Mureika, Rovi
