Wilco - Ode To Joy (October 4 2019)

"Quiet Amplifier" is groovy (as mentioned above).

I meant "Everyone Hides"... whatever

Determined to get into this album one way or another. It all sounds pleasant enough...

But then again Citizens sounds like the most pointless Wilco song ever

Definitely not an album of "Radio Cure"s. It's fine in the same whelming way the other three Wilco albums this decade have been. I can't believe how quickly it's over when it ends.

I'm just listening now. Holy shit

Kind of a weird album to spend $500 on.

Revisiting. I like this record a lot (not quite as much as Schmilco) but it’s a weird one - like, there’s a real sense of anemia for until just before the middle, the album gradually sorta waking up

def one of the most appropriate album covers in their discog, whole record feels like an emphasis on negative space

True

“Wilco February”

As much as I’ve always kinda liked these guys (and don’t get mad at me) I’ve never heard anything pre-Summerteeth. Dunno why, just never felt compelled to go back.

Still pending: TWEEDY, and most of JT’s solo catalogue. I know it’s there, and I’ll get to it eventually.

Xpost I think you'd find Being There worth your time

tweedy is really dope, sort of a proto-star wars/schmilco

Had to look through this again to remind me what's on here, but I really enjoy "North American Kids," "If I Ever Was a Child," "Cry All Day," "Someone To Lose" and "Locator" (including it's primitive oddball stick-figure video). I don't think it's an album I'd want to hear in its entirety again, but those are excellent, dark, low-key songs.

Agh, WRONG album and thread

For this one, it would be "Love Is Everywhere (Beware)," "Everyone Hides" and "Hold Me Anyway."

I love "Love is Everywhere" but aside from that, this album falls under "pleasant but forgettable."

Quiet Amplifier is up there with their best
