Youth of America is the second album by the punk band Wipers. The album marks a distinctive change in the band's sound. Compared to its predecessor Is This Real?, which was composed mostly of raw, sleek and relatively traditional songs, Youth of America features much longer and complex compositions; the title track alone clocks in at over 10 minutes.

dbpprop:abstract
  • Youth of America is the second album by the punk band Wipers. The album marks a distinctive change in the band's sound. Compared to its predecessor Is This Real?, which was composed mostly of raw, sleek and relatively traditional songs, Youth of America features much longer and complex compositions; the title track alone clocks in at over 10 minutes. This change of pace was according to Greg Sage a deliberate counter-reaction against the trend of releasing short songs, which many punk bands did at the time. The album was, according to Sage, not well-received in the United States at the time of its release, though it did fare better in Europe. Along with other records by the Wipers, Youth of America has since come to be acknowledged as an important album in the development of American underground and independent rock movements of the early 80s.
  • Youth Of America — второй номерной альбом американской панк-рок-группы Wipers. К 1981 году ударник группы Сэм Генри покинул Wipers и присоедился к портлендской команде Napalm Beach (не путать с Napalm Death). Басист Дуг Коупал принял участие в студийных сессиях для пары новых песен, но через несколько недель он покинул группу, так как его семья переехала в Огайо. К Wipers присоединился Брэд Дэйвидсон (бас-гитара) и Брэд Нэйш (ударные). В таком составе и была завершена запись Youth Of America. Будучи неудовлетворённым опытом, полученным в профессиональной студии во время записи дебютного альбома Is This Real?, лидер группы Грег Сэйдж решил записать и смикшировать весь материал сам, не прибегая к помощи профессиональных звукорежиссёров и продюсеров. Альбом получился коротким (всего полчаса), с замечательными гитарными пассажами Сэйджа — как, например, в тревожной When It’s Over или 10-минутной YOA (при том что тогдашние панки стремились писать очень короткие песни — иногда по полминуты).
