rockinrob Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 In other news, when I went in my local record store, the clerk handed me the promo poster for TWL! It will be finding a place on the wall in my guitar room shortly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Don't forget the whistling in "Monday." It's an epidemic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Red-Eyed and Blue Yes, I know. I was making a joke that one song is considered "enough." Don't forget the whistling in "Monday." It's an epidemic. That's probably the best whistle solo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Another little preview write-up of some tracks: http://timeoutchicag...-the-whole-loveThe pattern never ends: when an album is brand-new, reviewers trip over themselves fitting it into the band's discography via "it's A meets B meets C" ... but once time and familiarity settles the album into place, you never hear it compared in the same way.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 An artist(s)' career is an extended conversation with his/her/their fanbase. It is a rather one-sided conversation, but Jeff, like all artists, is simply sending a post card from his life. Sometimes he's the unreliable narrator; sometimes is the poet; sometimes he is the monologist (sp); sometimes he is the petulant man-child. Jeff is in a period where he is (apparently) very comfortable in his skin and with his life. We probably won't get the ravaged narratives of ST or YHF ever again, but that is OK. Things have changed since Jay was separated from the band. And the change was unsettling. But it is where Jeff has wanted it to go, what he has wanted it to be. The thing that has always appealed to me about Wilco/Jeff is the emotional honesty of his lyrics. This record will be another one-sided dialogue. I'm ok with that. When I am no longer content with what the band is doing, I'll just quietly move on. I've done it before, and I'll probably do it again. I used to be a rabid R.E.M. fan, but I haven't bought a new work or even LISTENED to them since Adventures in Hi-Fi. I am slowly moving away from my rabid devotion to Bruce Springsteen. And, I will probably be moving on from U2 soon. But it's all ok. It is a natural progression...the circle of life, if you will. I have high hopes for The Whole Love, and I am still at the point where I will be able to appreciate and enjoy it no matter what. But there is no guarantee for the future.

moxiebean Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Another short review (apologies if this has been linked to already). Not really any new info, although mention of a ragtime-influenced number ("Capitol City") has me a bit concerned... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
