jayacoop Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Did they decide to leak this to pre-empt the thunder of Son Volt's upcoming release? Okay, that's overboard. Have you heard The Search? I don't think it'll be that much thunder. A couple of tracks I like more than anything since Straightaways. Most of the rest, meh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I once crawled 32 miles with a broken leg and skin cancer to buy a Loose Fur CD. I then had all of the lyrics tattooed on my penis, which I then sold to a homeless man for 45 cents, because that's how much more I needed to buy a ticket to a Jeff Tweedy solo show. At the show I was shot in the face eleven times, but still had a great time. I have not heard the new album. I would have given you a buck for it but you ran before I could. Anyway I swapped it for some shoes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

you ever seen a ghost? Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 i haven't sifted through all of this yet, but has anyone mentioned the cool way Jeff says "honestly" in "Leave Me (Like You Found Me." both times you hear this trippy pedal steel (?) behind him. it's in the rest of the song too. sorry, i'm used to spending most of my Internet time on a Bob Dylan board, so i get all specific like that sometimes. also, did anyone notice the 3 or so song title changes last night? -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm pleasantly astonished by much of it. Unfortunately, there are a few songs/recordings that I flat-out don't like on here ("What Light" because it's a ball of cheese, "Walkin'" because it sounds toothless on the record), but the highs are so unexpectedly high that I think a sort of balance has been struck for me. I don't think any other song in the world can make me as happy right now as "I Hate It Here." It's the most unabashedly fun thing I've heard in a long, long, long time. There's so much Stax/Volt, middle-period Band influence to it that I can't help but smile like a goofy ass every time I hear it (and as I finish me bottle o' rye, it's basically all I've been able to listen to). No word of a lie, this song found a permanent place in heart within five seconds of my first hearing it. One of those "Oh! So this is where you've been hiding all my life" moments that us music geeks get every couple of years, if we're lucky. I think Nels shines throughout, especially on the epics, but also on the title track. That echoey solo played over the starry bed of steel guitar is just gorgeous. On the whole, I think I prefer SBS to AGIB, which really surprises me. I also think I'm done my drinky and am going to bed!I don't know where I'd rank SBS in relation to previous Wilco, but like you I'm pleasantly relieved by the the album--it sounds much better than I had been anticipating. You've been consistent in your dislike for "What Light," and I can't fault you for reading the lyrics as cheesy. But I've always detected a minor degree of irony in it, an interpretation confirmed when I saw the tune performed live and a sly, playful grin burst across Jeff's face as he sang "don't let anyone change your bag." It was as if he knew the line was corny, but he was gonna try to have fun with it anyway--and I think the studio version captures that same sense of throwaway goofiness. Does that justify the line? I dunno, but I respond to the tone. I think "Hate It Here" is going to be one of my favorite tracks on SBS, too. Right now, though, the stunner for me is "You Are My Face." I can't stop listening to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Anyone else who consider the purely-fucking-noise guitar solos in Kidsmoke to be a religious experience, and still enjoy "Either Way"?Yeah. I generally respond most to Wilco's more sonically adventurous side, but I also love the side rooted in American folk. Which might explain why I love the original live incarnations of "Spiders" as much as I love the AGIB studio version. I'm glad to have both. Has anyone else observed that, unlike any previous Wilco album, SBS sounds an awful lot like a Jeff Tweedy solo record? In my head, this is always what a solo effort might have sounded like.

Thats weird because I see this one as more of a band record, although the lyrics seem much more personal than anything else, so I can see that side too. But musically it seems like he let the band do what they wanted in the context of the songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evening Star Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 After 5 or so listens, this is one hell of an album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 By all accounts SBS was a truly collaborative project... but to my ears it still sounds like the sister project of a Tweedy solo tour (if that makes sense). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 To me it sounds like half of the songs are collaborative and half the songs are from a Jeff solo tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H to the ickle Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I don't think there is a second of music on this album without merit. I'm going to be listening to this from now until a long time from now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danelectro Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I've probably listened to it 10 times since last night. At first it sounded pretty mellow but after a few spins it's starting to sound a little edgy, the guitar bursts jump out a little more after I became familiar with the songs. I don't have anything to compare it to, the only song from this album I've heard before was a version of Walken I saw on youtube. I love the album, it's like the anti mainstream indie record. I dig that it has a 70's vibe. It really isn't owing to any one artist though you can hear snippets of all things classic rock in it, to me it draws from everything of that era. It took me a while to get into AGIB, this record sounded good from the first 10 seconds. It's funny that people expect more experimentaion from a band like Wilco. Just because they used a few synths here and there they have always been more rootsy than anything. I don't think this album is a step back or forwards for them, just another Wilco album. Any of these songs wouldn't be out of place on their other albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusetc84 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 After my initial dislike, I think I'm going to give the record till the release date to grow on me before I write it off completely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lavallster Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 See, I looooooooooooooved Impossible Germany live. But I just think there is way too much Nels guitar in that song. His solo takes away from the triple guitar solo at the end. The triple solo is so awesome and beautiful, and I really don't like how Nels is playing something different and really chaotic when that beautiful solo is trying to shine. I'm sure it will grow on me, but four guitars is alot I agree, the ending of impossible germany is soo awesome live. and then on the album, i was expecting it, but it was not the same...
