Lammycat Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 eh. They're decent tunes. I'm not blown away. I too like the vibe of the live "Walken" better. It has a force to it I'm not picking up here. Lyrically, "You Are My Face" is nice, but the tune isn't smacking me upside the head. The tunes are out of context of the album, of course, and might work better for me in the album form they're set for. Who knows. Again, not bad, but I'm not sure I agree with a lot of the hype so far. Just another opinion.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'm still blown away, 15 listens a piece in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 good thing Bill Callahan's album leaked or I prolly would have listened to these 100 times by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryanamber Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'm pumped about this album... I get a sort of white album vibe. I dig it. Nels is amazing! I love how much more melody he brings into the solos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iak Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 that's an electric on either way btw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 another note: these songs fit right in with The high Heat and Panthers. I made a make shift mix to keep myself busy: You Are My FaceWalkenEither WayThe High HeatPanthersLong Time AgoRadio KingWhen The Roses Bloom Again (Wilco version)Won't Let You DownAlone (alternate version)Venus Stop The TrainWalk On (Neil Young cover)Not for the season.

iak Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I honestly just cannot connect with these songsit seems like wilco lost their depthi don't think they're bad, but when i listen to you are my face, i think, "this is pretty good." When I put on muzzle of bees, panthers, or i am trying to break your heart, i think "wow, now this is beautiful." These new songs are just pleasant songs, to me. And god, that damn organ, and the intermittent farting nels solos make me cringe.And i do agree with all the criticisms of walken.The one thing i absolutely adore about the new songs is how the instruments sound, and the warm and "in your ear" production - just the sound of the piano and the guitars. And jeff's voice really does sound great now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's great that a lot of people love these, and maybe my opinion will change may 15th, but i'm just not feelin these new songs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawthorne Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 i was just curious as to why some are calling this a soft-rock or dad-rock record? to me most of YHF is just as mellow or more mellow than these songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 it's the "in your ear" production that people criticize. I personally love it. I'm 19 and love the songs, dad-rock my ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 You guys are all absouletly bonkers. I'm 18, and I think these songs rock. They aren't mabye bashing away, but they still have great energy. The one thing I could ever slight (and really never bothered me at all except when I was trying to get other people into Wilco) about YHF is they sound so friggin low key, which was mostly due to Jeff's migrane-induced whispering.

welch79 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 What's The High Heat? I've been away from Wilco for a long while.the high heat is from the wilco book cd. basically just "outtakes" from the agib sessions (there may be a better way to describe it than outtakes). there are a couple or three memorable/listenable songs on it. the rest are the beginning of "conversations" that evolve into songs to be found on agib. pretty neat, but def. for fans only. can be found at you friendly neighborhood bittorrent site.

H to the ickle Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The music from my dad's record collection is what got me into good music. So if this is dad rock, then I love dad rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yes thanks. I've held that book in my hands a few times but couldn't choke the $30 to buy it. Was a time I bled Wilco but I kind of lost interest after YHF. By the time AGIB came out I had moved on. Something drew to me VC today and I'm glad I came, the new songs roped me back in to Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still waiting for Wilco to cover If. haha, i am 20, but i do know and enjoy america and bread. to me the new songs are rocking. thats why im curious as to why some people are complaining because this will be a "mellow" record. as for dad-rock, i consider dad-rock a positive connotation.
