"Above The Din: Will Wilco's "Blue Sky" Make Fans See Red?

 

Every few days, new songs by a beloved artist surface on the Internet--and within hours, the Web renders its verdict. Let's see if those leaked cuts from Wilco's Sky Blue Sky are faring:

 

- "...this is some Randy Newman horse shit. And then you've got the organs in the background that make me cringe because they remind me of Fastball, and the intermittent explosively diarrhetic guitar solos from the guy who looks like David Bowie, and you just know he's playing them with like a shish-kebob skewer and a mannequin leg." [Wolf Notes]

- "Out of the three tracks, 'You Are My Face' is my favorite and I think it gives a good idea of the sound that this record is going to explore. It has that warm folk/country sound that attracted me to Wilco in the first place mixed with some punchy guitar parts thrown in to keep things interesting." [Music For Kids Who Can't Read Good]

- "It's more great countrypolitan rock with searingly emotional lyrics from one of America's best bands." [Prefix]

- "I'm a little worried that I might hear these songs in a couple years on the softrock station my dentist plays." [idolator commenter rsn]"

 

kinda annoys me that people do this

 

I know it's dumb to say that its wrong to judge an album that hasn't even come out yet...

 

3 leaks is all it takes

I don't hear anyone talking about how much this just sounds like really good 70's music. I mean shit doesn't anyone smoke pot anymore? If this is a cofee table book then so is Elliot Smith. Anyone who thinks the organs sound like Fastball, are listening to too much fastball and not enough Highway 61 Revisited.

 

But still I don't totally know whats up with this album, I just like what I hear so far.

I actually agree with a lot of what that guy said. A lot of the stuff has sounded like the "rock equivalent of a coffee table book" or however it was phrased--both the leaked tracks and the life stuff.

 

I still like the three that have leaked, for the most part. Nothing wrong with a little soft rock.

intermittent explosively diarrhetic guitar solos [Wolf Notes]

 

A guy who names his blog after a Fiery Furnaces song has no right to complain about "diarrhetic guitar solos."

 

(I'm a Furnaces fan, though. A huge one in fact)
