Scott Gyrrr Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 My main problem with Wilco the album is Johns bass sound. Overcompressed and lacking any texture it pushes you away rather than drawing you into the songs. It's a pity because what he plays on most of it is superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Over-production? In comparison to YHF? Sky Blue Sky is a band record. A band playing together playing songs. No Pro-tools. Few if any overdubs.Jeff appeared to be reacting to the manner in which his last three records had been recorded with all the emotional wreckage that accompanied them and made a decision to do it all differently.I realize YHF is a serious studio album, but ironically because of how carefully crafted it is it sounds less produced to me, and W(TA) and SBS are both more "live" albums, but the production on them sounds a little too compressed and clean to my ears. Summerteeth has really solid writing/music but again the production is a little lacking. I much prefer AGIB's sound when it comes to a "live" album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
random painted highway Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Ok, I was about to write a big-ass rant defending Wilco (The Album), but "The Whole Love" is pretty much negating whatever points I was going to make. Carry on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
