Wilco LP #7 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Just got it in from amazon UK. I'm listening to it a lot, it's really great. I reccomend picking it up as soon as soon as it gets a US release, or ordering it from overseas like I. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I like the few songs I've heard from it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco LP #7 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Once again, this album is amazing. I absolutely can not listen to anything else. Wow. Favorite of 2006? Quite possibly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 What's it sound like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco LP #7 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 What's it sound like? You can hear strokes-sih influence. But it's so much more reassuring. The bitterness of Julian Casablancas is substituted for Hammond's soulful, soothing voice. There's increased instrumentation. It's very clean, and precise, like Strokes songs. Very dense too. Extremely Poppy. Brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Hammond Jr. Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Yeah, I think its ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeffTweedysFatStomach Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I love this album too. I heard it and thought - hey, this is everything I liked so much off of Is This It? but with far better vocals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 good record. maybe better than FIOE even... (not saying a ton i know) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco LP #7 Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 good record. maybe better than FIOE even... (not saying a ton i know) I mean, I'm a huge Strokes sucker, so of course I love FIOE. But it's definitely not representative of their talent at all. It's their attempt at more ambition, at sprawling out. It's the closest (hopefully) they will ever come to a double album or a reinvented artist album. I think it's pretty obvious that the strength of the band is in irresistibly melodic, quick, dense songs, and albums. FIOE def. has its moments of greatness though (You Only Live Once, Razorblade, On The Other Side). I have virtually no idea what to expect from them next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 hoping FIOE is a "transitional" record. it's not bad, just not great. they should have cut 2-3 tracks from it. Room On Fire is still my fave but yeah, YOLO might be their best song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm liking the solo album too, definitely better than FIoE imo, it sounds like he's got a few more ideas... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'd like to see someone from that band make an album without protools. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
