pathfire Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 is that stirratt singing bkgd vocals on what light? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Final thoughts: a mixed bag, with some incredible highlights and some worrying lows. Ends with a bit of a whimper thanks to "What Light," the only song on the record that I flat out dislike, but recovers a bit with a pretty dramatically spiced up "On and On and On." Anybody else shocked by how decent this song ended up becoming in the end? But the bulk of the middle section of the record is just stellar. The back-to-back Nels epics, the sheer fucking glory of "I Hate It Here," and the title track, sounding like a real throwback to BT, are more than enough to make this a worthy entry in the Wilco canon. Now I'm gonna listen again and attempt to capture it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Cat Stevens was never bad, he's bad ass. Awesome actually, but Wilco's take on Cat Stevens may be risky.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Quick: someone explain to me why On and On... is a "great" tune? Not to be downer boy, but if they twanged on a note for eight minutes would you say "Awesome!!? It's a kind of weak tune, no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wagx3 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 man that was a great album. sky blue sky (the track) is very old-school wilco. very folky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orkie Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Wilco goes adult contemporary. Sad day. Maybe the next album will bring back some sort of edge or good sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
damo Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 on and on and on was always good i dont know what you guys were thinking, i would have liked an erie song on the album like panthers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orkie Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yeha man it's rocking right now. HOLY HELL NELS IS SHREDDING! What album are you listening to? There is no "shred". This is Dad/Soccer Mom Rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H to the ickle Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 What album are you listening to? There is no "shred". This is Dad/Soccer Mom Rock. I think the better question is: Do you have ears? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orkie Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I never thought I would say this, but: For awhile it was said that Jeff passed by Jay in terms of songwriting, and this was probably correct. But now it's safe to say that the exact opposite has happened. Jay is back with a rocking, exciting album with some stellar tunes, and Wilco is now on a serious downslide, becoming an adult contemporary band with no fire. Strange how things work!
