Best Wilco álbum since a long time

I really liked Star Wars.

Yeah, it’s way better.

I think on first spin (stream), I actually like the new one better, but it's been awhile since I listened to SW. I'll need to re-listen again.

[Strat]

I’m glad you guys were able to convince yourselves so quickly this is a good album but holy hell are you just flat wrong. I feel sorry for the rest of the band members who had to “add” to these boring melodies and acoustic guitar pieces from tweedy. God he sounds bored and uninspired.

This isn’t Wilco.

Angel face emoji.

I’m being somewhat violent for internet purposes but this really has done nothing for me. I couldn’t wait for each song to end two times through. Star Wars was great. This is god awful.

There is nothing aurally pleasing. I can’t.

The new nick cave on the other hand... oh baby.

There is nothing aurally pleasing.

The drums, bass, odd little chirps and scrapes here and there. Try it on a long drive by yourself on a yucky day.

Eh. Maybe.

Why are you this way

I can tolerate Pearl Jam putting out worse music but apparently I can’t tolerate Wilco doing such a thing?

Not only do I think Ode to Joy is a fine Wilco record, but I’ll also go on record to say that this one along with the previous two have cemented these last few years as a fine era for this group. Wilco went from a favorite of mine, to meh, and then back to a favorite in about the span of a decade.

So much of The Whole Love, Wilco, and even Sky Blue Sky feels overwrought and bonkers, maybe because the band has too much to do in the songs? To counter Strats assertion that it now sounds like Tweedy solo with guys doing things in the background...I think that’s what makes it work.

I listen to Schmilco (like I’m doing right now) and I pick up so many subtle things that happen in the empty spaces of these songs. It all feels incredibly intimate and perpetually engaging, and these last three albums feel like a cohesive series when played all together.

I’m really digging We Were Lucky today. That’s got to be Tweedy handling the main guitar work running through this one, right? Sounds like he’s tapping into some of the same energy he had for At Least That’s What You Said and Hell is Chrome. Love is Everywhere is a nice foil for the chaos directly after WWL, too.

hey look Wilco has a whale poster too

I thought the same think about the guitar work in We Were Lucky

Wilcos store is 31% off today in case anyone needs to snag some vinyl

i'm seeing tweedy on saturday night. i requested:

1. wanted (loose fur)
2. wreckroom (loose fur)
3. i know what it's like

there's no way he'll play either of the first two songs (i requested wanted last year, and he said he can't get the piano part to sound right on guitar).

[bune]

you can make personal requests of the artist? is he coming to your house?
