btw, I love the bass in this song. they finally unleashed stirratt after all these years.

This is a restrained, almost cold album. There is no screaming or wailing blasts of feedback. For this reviewer, it is the lack of unrestrained emotion or playing that makes this harder to connect with on a visceral level. Wilco bring a wild energy to live performances both in Jeff’s vocals and the group’s playing and dynamic. This is a different beast, almost an exercise in muted sobriety. There is a sense of musicians seeking sounds rather than musical dexterity or brilliance. Hushed and reverent in many ways but there is a power within the restraint. Repeated plays reveal nuances and moods that swirl around Jeff Tweedy’s careful often wracked vocals. There is celebration after the journey, but it feels hesitant, with an eye in the rear-view mirror. Wilco have made another compelling album, not as immediately accessible as Cruel Country or indeed Sky Blue Sky, but it is one that rewards repeated listening flowering into something both moving and essential.
I get that this may dissuade some fans, but I'm way into. The Feelies sound a lot like this. It also makes me think of REM's Up, which I love.
is he describing cousin or a ghost is born?

I feel like that could describe Ode to Joy very well (which is fine by me, that's one of their biggest growers in their entire catalog, IMO).
