radiokills

i dont care if they drop any ghost songs. i just want more summerteeth and YHF. any song from those 2 albums live are 5x times better than any ghost song live

except maybe company or spiders

Summerteeth is still my favorite Wilco album.

Finally! a non ghost head

I like the newbies being all cool and dropping the eff-bomb every other post. nice show chaps.

does it really matter?

and im pretty sure thats the first time ive used it.

couldnt be more wrong

Experimentation - Doing something you haven't done before. SBS is uncharted territory for them. It's rock, familiar territory, but it has a new vibe, kinda 70s soul - something they haven't explored...until now. It's experimenting, it's just not your death-grip strict definition of experimentation. Experimentation means out of the norm, not a shitload of noises that defines your music for some 10 odd years.

 

Progressiveness - Pushing the envelope. SBS pushes the envelope...straight the other way. Wilco's spent years pushing the envelop in the "texture" direction, and now they've gone straight the other way (the structural way). They're pushing the envelope. They've changed their direction, and it's damn well progressive because they are defining a new Wilco.

 

Unique - Singular in and of itself, no replications. This is a unique sound. It mixes old rock, new soul, and everything Wilco has ever achieved, and cooked a damn good stew out of it. I can't see how this isn't unique, Wilco has never gone in this territory yet.

 

Soundscaping is the old Wilco. The new Wilco is about musicianships.

 

I loved Wilco's soundscaping, but was it supposed to cover up something? Think about that. At least here it is all laid bare, and damn you to hell if you don't like it.

jesus calm the fuck down

But if it ISN'T something that gets you excited, are you supposed to write about how it IS something that bores you? Seriously...People here are voicing their opinions. OMG! They're voicing their opinions after only two/three listens. So are you, fucktard (not directed at imsjry, but the general critical audience). If we assume that we've all listened to it an equal amount of times, can't we assume that we are all standing on equal critical ground...? It's asinine to think otherwise.

 

Those who don't like it hear mayonnaise, let's say. I will NOT eat a sandwich with mayonnaise on it, 8 times out of 10, because I don't usually like it. Some people put about an inch of mayonnaise on everything they eat. Doesn't mean mayonnaise is horrible or awesome, it just means that some love it and some don't.

 

Seriously, can't we all get a grip?

 

Again, not a diatribe against imsjry, just a critque of a party-line.

ur wrong! you CAN argue about music! and get somewhere! its what happens every time!

no he isnt. i want his jazzy solos out

i kinda also dont like these jazzy nels cline solos...BRING BACK BENNETT AND LEROY

ok i just want to voice my opinion here.

to be honest, im really dissapointed with it. all the things that i love wilco for, their experimentalism, progressiveness, and unique sound, all seem to be gone in Sky. I guess you have to respect an artist's desire to try new sounds, but Sky sounded incredibly boring in comparison to the soundscapes that wilco are capable of creating. say what you will about leroy and bennett, but right now i really want them back.

Yes, please!

i dont much like the decemeberists, but im seeing them in a few weeks, just because theyre hitting my favorite venue
