Wilco‘s sixth baby… is going to take some getting used to. If they weren’t my favorite band I might not have made it through the entire album. As of now, I’ve given Sky Blue Sky two complete listens. I’ll report back in a couple days.
Let me say one thing, Wilco has definitely tuned it down on Sky Blue Sky. Don’t pick it up if you’re looking for a “rocker”. It’s very mellow.
man…i’ve listened to the first 4 songs or so, and “very mellow” could be an understatement….
put me on a suicide watch… 🙁
Finally got to hear something from them while at last.fm. I agree with the beyond mellow comment. I guess my mellow level stops at Pink Floyd. 😉
Hey Mark… glad to hear you checked out the new Wilco. I must admit that I’ve definitely come around on the new album. Dare I say… I love it. 🙂 Yes, it’s mellow, but it really grew on me. If this was your first Wilco experience you should check out Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or A Ghost Is Born. Those are two of my favorite Wilco albums. They’re much more upbeat.
