Land of the Lost is the fourth studio album by punk rock band Wipers, released by Restless in 1986.[7][8] It was reissued on CDR on frontman Greg Sage's Zeno Records, and by German label Gift of Life in 1991.[9]

Critical reception

Maximum Rocknroll praised the title track, writing: "Heavier and riffier than anything the Wipers had previously attempted, 'Land of the Lost' hits like a steamroller on an inexorable march forward."[10] The Spin Alternative Record Guide called the album "the most definitive Wipers record for sound and songwriting, though it lacks the brashness that makes Over the Edge such a joy."[6]
