Dude Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Most albums have a high Wilco percentage, but this album has Wilco dominating every song... WTF? I mean, even the Feist song has Wilco writing, singing and playing all the instruments. It's devoid of creative tension / energy / karmic transitional flow, which clearly is due to the chakras of the band members lacking any kind of alignment. The fact that there is way too much Wilco on this album, plus the fact that the first song and the album itself is called Wilco, is I think the reason why I can't stand the album, and after 14th listens my opinion remains unwavering. As sorely disappointed as I am, I've loaded the freely downloaded MP3s onto my iPod because I've been a Wilco fan for 17 years. I think Wilco fans need to accept the fact that things haven't been the same since Bill Berry left the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleC Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I think it needs some JS Bach mixed in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusetc84 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I disagree...the amount of Wilco in each album is this: A.M.Being ThereSummerteethYankee Hotel FoxtrotA Ghost is BornSky Blue SkyWilco (The Album) which means W(TA) has very little Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 "You and I" is very clearly a tip of the cap to Captain and Tennile's wonderful "Love Will Keep Us Together". Well done Wilco, well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Jeffro Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Does anyone else sense a strong Hootie and the Blowfish influence in this album? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxiebean Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 If W(TA) got me pregnant I'd walk around naked for the next nine months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I take great offense that my thread was deemed 'inane', it took well over two hours to write. I'm going to delete one W(TA) MP3 off my iPod for every hour that the admin staff refuses to let my original and unique Wilco-Hating voice be heard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

austrya Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Can we (the fans) stop using parenthesis (where they're not really needed) just because Wilco (the band) did it? If Jeff jumped off a bridge, would you do it too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
