Can't wait for Wilco to release its metal-influenced album so we can watch ksh go apeshit.

listened to Wilco (The Album) for the first time in a while last week ... prety meh, actually! Just sounded workmanlike, not very inspired. Still think this version of Wilco has a great album in 'em, but that one ain't it.

On Rolling Nels Cline Thread, I wrote:
Wilco (the album) is a much better record [than Sky Blue Sky], and one that I'll listen to much more as time passes, but it really is a "Whitman sampler of the different aspects and obsessions of Wilco," as Tweedy called it. You have the Neu! motorik thing they did on "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" on "Bull Black Nova," the obvious "I'm A Wheel"/"Monday"/"Can't Stand It" rocker tune ("Wilco (the song)"), the unassuming acoustic number "Solitaire," which recalls "Dash 7," "Far, Far Away," "Radio Cure," "Muzzle of Bees," and most of SBS. The whole record really is a summation of their career.

In that same post, I said:
Wilco is primarily a vehicle for Tweedy's creativity, and although things seem to be more stable for the band now insofar as the lineup is concerned -- no one has been fired in five years, and everyone including Tweedy (see the new Rolling Stone interview) seems to feel good about the band as a unit -- I don't think he will ever be in a place where he'd want to make another Yankee Hotel Foxtrot/A ghost is born pseudoexperimental record again. I doubt Nels will get to do any truly radical work in Wilco. (The most "radical" things he does on the new record, which are not "radical" at all, really, are these strange little backwards-guitar solos at the end of "One Wing" and "Everlasting Everything" and some feedback-soaked guitar work at the end of "Bull Black Nova.")
yeah, that's otm -- i just think they've done better versions of all of those things on previous albums.
― tylerw, Friday, 23 July 2010 20:49 (2 years ago) Permalink
they may prove me wrong on that last point, though. I've read them say things that gave me the feeling they might go more experimental on the next LP
― markers, Friday, 23 July 2010 20:49 (2 years ago) Permalink
maybe i need to hear live versions of these tunes -- that's what turned me around on SBS.
― tylerw, Friday, 23 July 2010 20:51 (2 years ago) Permalink
maybe! they were great live when I saw them last summer. still prefer to hear them play something like "Spiders" than anything on the new record, though
― markers, Friday, 23 July 2010 20:52 (2 years ago) Permalink
but yeah, i think it's sort of a mistake to look at nels cline for some injection of "out there-ness" though he's obviously capable of it. Nels is probably more interested in fitting into the mainstream aspects of the band -- he's certainly got plenty of other outlets for the experimental stuff.
― tylerw, Friday, 23 July 2010 20:52 (2 years ago) Permalink
yeah! i think he's said as much in interviews. Glenn too. "we just play what's good for the songs." so both of them have their side projects where they do the more out their stuff, and then when they come into a Wilco sessions they just try to suit the needs of whatever's before them.
if you look at the entire Wilco discography, Jeff's probably responsible for the most out their stuff. like the solos on a ghost is born. although Jim O'Rourke probably did a lot of crazy stuff on YHF and agib, and Bennett added a lot to the former record too

I love that "can't stand it" was added at the last minute because reprise didn't hear a single on summerteeth.
