The midwest, particularly the part of the midwest Eric D. Johnson hails from, is a largely flat expanse.

 Zipping through it on the highway, you'll see cities and towns rise up in the distance, but blink and you'll miss other man-made rejoinders to horizontal living dotting the landscape, hill after hill, built from the refuse of the past: landfills. Some of these hills make for great sledding spots, parks, and trails. Others turn organic waste into compost. The Landfill is something else entirely: a mountain dominating the landscape of Johnson's heart. Over the course of his now 25-year career under the Fruit Bats moniker, most of Eric D. Johnson's output has been the product of patience and fine-tuning. His songs, to borrow a phrase, are slow growers, given life on albums that encompass long stretches of time and memory. Baby Man changed that - he disallowed himself from referring to material he'd been working on before laying the album down, utilizing the morning pages technique of stream-of-consciousness, observational songwriting which flowed directly into his afternoon recording sessions. It was both a breathtaking document of Johnson's skill as a singer- songwriter and an unvarnished account of the two weeks in which he recorded the album. Baby Man's closeness to Johnson's heart and the close attention to his voice and instrument it's minimalist-maximalist ethos required uncorked something in him as he wrote towards a new full band effort. "That session was over," he explains, "but there was way more to explore. I liked the immediacy of it, and I wanted to see how that would translate into a full-band Fruit Bats record." Within weeks, he was back in a studio, this time with his band - David Dawda (bass), Josh Mease (guitars, synth), Frank LoCrasto (piano, synth), and Kosta Galanopoulos (drums) - with whom Johnson has spent over a decade building Fruit Bats into one of the most in-demand live acts in indie rock. Listening to The Landfill, it's not hard to understand why: simply put, this band smokes. Producing the initial recording sessions in Washington's Bear Creek Studios, Johnson set out to capture "the sound of this band I constantly marvel at, the feeling of being in a room with musicians you love and trust enough to let them cook." They laid most of it down on the floor - no click tracks, no comped vocals, and minimal overdubs, with frequent collaborator Thom Monahan returning to provide additional production and The Landfill's final mix. "It's how we do things with my other band, Bonny Light Horseman, and I was curious to see how it would work with Fruit Bats," Johnson notes. "It's both a very personal record, and my most collaborative to date." It's also the most live a Fruit Bats record has been since 2009's The Ruminant Band, and in paring back the number of tracks that typically layer a full-band song, the psychedelic, technicolor dreaminess of their sound is more vivid than ever. Time and space melt into the sublime as the band gels around Johnson's hazy croon on "That Goddamn Sun," stretching out to accommodate him as he trips from California to North Carolina. In striking a balance between ecstatic romance and melancholia, "Think Aboutcha" occupies the blissful-but- doomed intersection of the E Street Band and Paul McCartney, playful but playing for stakes that are larger than life, while "Perhaps We're a Storm" charges headlong into the unknown. All of these songs - most of the songs on The Landfill, in fact - mark themselves immediately as some of the best in Eric D. Johnson's ever-expanding songbook, seekers and anthems alike. It's the most daunting peak he's scaled yet, musically or lyrically: a swashbuckling set of full-band jammers couldn't be more honest and open-hearted about his hopes and anxieties, his dreams

I love it!
Size: TKL- Tenkeyless, Size: TKL- Tenkeyless
This wrist pad is the right size, approx. 14” wide. It provides support and doesn’t hurt my wrist. I needed a wrist rest that was comfortable and this one is awesome. It’s has some firmness, but it’s not hard, and has some give to it, see video. I also like the fabric, it feels good against your skin and doesn’t collect lint. The plastic gel pads always seem too hard for me, not providing comfort. Glad to find this wrist pad on Amazon! It fits well next to a laptop or large iPad (especially if you have the keyboard to go with the iPad). The wrist pad allows me to work in comfort. With my laptop, I use this wrist pad along with a soft mousepad, on the right side of my laptop.

Great!
Size: Compact
Super soft and very comfortable! It perfectly fits my 75% keyboard. It was almost impossible to find one at this size and I'm glad I did. There's no "overhang" at all and its flush with my keyboard. It stays put and isn't slippery at all and it's just the right height too.

Great Gel Wrist Pad
Size: Full Size
My husband games with the boys every weekend, and he had finally splurged on a gaming system and new monitors. I bought this for him so he can rest his wrists while using the keyboard. He says the quality is great, length perfectly fits the keyboard, it does feel like it is cooling, nice design, very durable so far, not too high so his wrists sit comfortably for typing. Would purchase again but it looks like we won't need to as it is holding up very well.

Comfortable, Simple, Reliable
Size: Tenkeyless, Pattern Name: Keyboard, Size: Tenkeyless, Pattern Name: Keyboard
This is a phenomenal product, and exactly what I wanted. I used to have wrist pain while gaming; I bought this, and then completely forgot that I used to get wrist pain while gaming. The foam is firm, but comfortable; it’s very supportive, but also flat and consistent. It’s cool, so my wrist never gets sweaty or hot just from using the wrist rest. Its rubberized bottom prevents it from moving at all while gaming. I’ve used it for about a year, and the foam has no indentation at all; in fact, there’s not noticeable wear of any kind. My one complaint, that I’ve seen in other reviews as well, is that the fabric skin of the wrist rest isn’t quite fit over the foam: there’s some extra material, and it can wrinkle slightly. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the product! It’s completely eliminated my wrist pain, and I’ve gotten a year of use out of it with no problems so far. I’d say that’s more than worth the fair price, and I would buy it again without hesitation!
