I like the way Wilco have a fan base who stick with them despite indifference to some of their work. I enjoy the laidback Sky Blue Sky vibe for totally different reasons that I like Being There or the paranoid YHF. The only one I havent really got a place for is the latest. Its “Wilco by numbers”. Despite, there are still some gems. Kudos to Nels and Glenn for not turning Wilco into Weather Report.

Wilco is not U2, it doesn’t need to satisfy everyone (critics and all) and obviously that has never been their intent. The Wilco catalog is legendary. Support them! Tastes change. I am growing old with Jeff Tweedy, that is ok, I love it all!

this record took a little longer for me to “get”, but i gave it a go & now it’s one of my favorites. it’s got a mature, confident vibe which i can dig. these guys know how to play together & you’ve got to respect that. i do often wonder though what things would sound like say Jay was still involved???…

They’re all great albums. This one has grown on me slowly. Which for me means, it’s a keeper. Listen to it with headphones, while washing your car, or just relaxing. Has a 70’s vibe that I really can dig!

I like all their albums and for all different reasons. I also love the Mermaid Ave. albums. Wilco is so multilayered that I hear something new every time I listen to any one of their albums. What can I say, my nuerons love them.

Wilco is one of those bands that has this dedicated following where no one is ever fully happy with what the band is doing at any given moment in time. Taking the arc of the band’s career, “A.M.” through the new CD, I’d say they’ve continued to evolve, produce great music, and remain germane in today’s music scene. For, the new, self-titled CD is another great offering with a different feel than the one before it, or the one before that, and (as they said in “Sky Blue Sky”) on and on and on.

I would say Sky Blue Sky is probably the best in their current formation, at least post YHF, but the new record is solid, although it took some time to grow on me as well. It’s probably about time for Jeff to make some major lineup changes to keep Wilco fresh.

I agree with Steve. Wholeheartedly. Sky Blue Sky is Wilco’s definitive album so far.

The new work hasn’t grown on me yet either. Although I do already like You Never Know. Personally I think YHF was their masterpiece and the musical arrangements missed Jay on further albums. So sad Jay is gone.
