New release linky

[Mr MidFi]

After two complete listens to the as-of-yet-unreleased Wilco album, Sky Blue Sky, I can confidently state my opinion as... meh. There are some interesting moments, but they are few and far between. Overall, it's a bit of a snooze.

I followed up with a listen of their Summerteeth disc, to see if it was just me being in a non-Wilco-ish mood. Nope. I think there are more good musical ideas in just one song (like "Shot in the Arm" or "She's a Jar") from that album than in the entire new one. But hey, maybe my opinion will evolve over time.

Once again, I do appreciate the opportunity to find out for myself. Even if I am a bit disappointed.

Yeah, me too. Not that it's bad, but you're right, it's bland (as is the new Lucinda). And to think, going in I considered this an automatic purchase. The internet saved me some money for a change.

On April 24th Yoko Ono is going to Open Your Box. Can't wait for that.

Lotsa other stuff on that list I look forward to hearing tho. Too much indie-bias at that site for my taste, though it's really great for movies.
