Buy What Are You On? from Amazon
Something's upset East River Pipe's sole proprietor, F.M. Cornog, and this time out it's not just himself. Where past albums like The Gasoline Age and Garbageheads on Endless Stun pondered the paths and tools of Cornog's own self-destruction (and subsequent rescue), What Are You On? points an accusatory finger at those heading toward the same fate. A cast of detestable characters inhabits the album and Cornog relates their tales like a nature documentarian -- observing, studying, recording, and narrating, but never interfering.
