Wilco - Wilco

Wilco, is the 8th album is from the Chicago band Wilco . Strange name for the title of the album, but wait for it - there is also a song on the tracklist called Wilco. At least that is two things you don t have to remember. Personally though I think the album is sort of forgettable in general - it is nondescript music that fails to capture the imagination. Some of the songs in themselves aren t particularly bad and the vocals are pleasant, but thats all this could be regarded as: pleasant. None of the tracks blow your mind and the band hasn t made a style of their own - it seems as though they are 15 years too late and would have better made their debut at the time ...

A Ghost Is Born - Wilco

To birth a masterpiece is rare enough - to sire another work of similar beauty, power and invention immediately after is something rarer still. Post-Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Wilco could have been forgiven for taking it easy for a time. Had they produced, say, another A.M, surely their audience would have understood. Sundering themselves and their songs helped produce one of the defining records of the noughties and a work that will, one feels fairly confident in assuming, continue to inspire and intrigue and intoxicate listeners well into the future. One ALSO feels confident, however, in assuming that said process is an exhausting, draining, demanding affair. If they fancied ...

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco

A record sure to feature on a fair few Best Of The Decade lists in a couple years time, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Wilco s masterful, intoxicating, constantly surprising fourth album (not counting the excellent Mermaid Avenue collaborations with Billy Bragg and the ghost of Woody Guthrie) is as jaw-droppingly brilliant now as it was then. A stirring, provocative mélange of alt. country, experimental pop, folk and rock, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot marks the logical progression from the boundary-pushing contents of 1999 s Summerteeth. It is simultaneously exuberant and heartbreaking. Often, it feels like a rave at a wake - one cannot help but bop along even as the lyrics claw with ...
