Why don't hipsters get Sky Blue Sky?Is it too hard for them to understand top notch songwriting? It seems that if you don't make fart noises throughout the tunes, your material is automatically rendered unoriginal, bland and dad rock...Sky Blue Sky stands alongside their best albums

@jpollackauthor 3 года назад

They hate it because Wilco signed a deal with Volkswagen that year and licensed half the album for use in their commercials, so hipsters single it out to shit on because tHeY SoLd oUt MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

@grrggrrg4805 3 года назад

Farting is unoriginal songwriting. Ween did it first.

@briancolquist5182 4 года назад

Whole Love is the most OVERLOOKED album in Wilco's discography. My third favorite of theirs (behind Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot).

@IndieRockerForever Год назад

I agree

@samekogan 10 лет назад

I do like it and have liked everything Wilco has put out but still, to this date, no LP stands out to me more than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I love every track on that album, I feel like in an odd way it just all goes together. Stoll, the whole love is a pretty solid LP but I'd have to give it more listens to really really like it.

@jeremyschep3589 8 лет назад

I, like a lot of fans, used to give poor Weezer a lot of flack because every album they released seemed to go further and further away from Pinkerton. I just wanted them to release Pinkerton over and over again. YHF, like Pinkerton, is one of those albums that will never be made again. I just expect to like every album for what it is, not expecting them to ever make another YHF, and I never end up being disappointed as a result. Good music is good music.

@samekogan 8 лет назад

+Jeremy Schep i agree and i have no expectation of them to make that album again i was really just simply stating my favorite wilco album. i also love summerteeth and being there. the others, ive had my moments with but ive never been as into them since bennet left. just my opinion.

@jeremyschep3589 8 лет назад

yeah, well to me some fans are just so weird about Bennett. Like he was great, and played a role in my 2 favorite albums of theirs, but he wasn't the band (I've seen some people saying he WAS Wilco, which just isn't true). Contrary to what Fantano thinks though I believe Nels Cline has been breathing new life into Wilco as his role has grown and the last two albums are their best since the Bennett era.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@ampNirvana10 it's true. i also saw an interesting interview clip w/tweedy where he talked about how it's impossible to compete with your older material because older records have time to seep into the heads of fans and listeners, ya know?

@franzkoviakalak6981 2 года назад

Growing up in Chicago in the 90s I spent a lot of time at industrial shows. Wilco shows were my palette cleansers, so to speak. Amazing energy and presence in their live shows. I've outgrown almost all the industrial stuff, except for Einsturzende Neubauten. How about a review of Alles in Allem? Would love to hear your take on it.

@laurencevanryne8996 10 лет назад

Im traumatised by its beauty!!! I just love how they REALLY take their time with the last song...simply wonderful...!!!!

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@theakronhammer77 i will be checking out the mayer hawthorne, me thinks. the mutemath hasn't been doing much for me, sadly.

@Farbulous007 12 лет назад

Great job, Fantano. Another solid review. I will again make my claim for Zeus - Say Us. Jason Collett's ex backup band. Probably one of the best albums of 2011.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@redsoxfan591 I understand, but I dunno. Shouldn't the score be more of a surprise. I'd like my thoughts to hit you first before a number, ya know?

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@ConvergeInChains what's the point of mentioning what everybody already knows. it's like mentioning oxygen when talking about breathing

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@TheOriginalZero1 yep, i do it sometimes. apologies if your ears were offended.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@samofnewyork review...the...internet?

@enyafreak2007 12 лет назад

I think Wilco has done very well when they "borrow" the sounds from classic albums, it doesn't mean they're not original, I just think they have a way of creating classic sounding music....and they're not dad rock, I saw these guys live back in 2007, and they are full of energy, and I think they put more energy into The Whole Love than their previous two releases, which are still great albums. Great review Anthony, I was wondering about your opinion of this band :-)

@Diabeticuss 11 лет назад

Firstly, Sky Blue Sky is an AMAZING ALBUM. A nine for sure. This album is a solid 8.....and I'm out.

@boris512 12 лет назад

as with most Wilco albums it takes a few listens to really absorb the feel of the album and this one is no different, and I would recommend going back to it. And listen to some of the tracks live often changes my appreciation for them. Great review though, thanks.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@333kingston no, they're not too known, but i'm not really digging the record. :-/

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@AmorBravo yep. soon.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@ImperviousMason nah, i'm gonna keep scorin. if you don't care about scores, then don't pay any mind to 'em. scores only have the power you give to them. if they annoy you, you choose to be annoyed. if you love them, you choose to love them. if they piss you off, you choose to be pissed. scores are numbers. the only meaning they have is what you place on them.

@xTheOxx 12 лет назад

I thoroughly enjoy this album, and it's not just because being a dad legally binds me to listen to it.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@Broyale26 no, no, not true. you typed "closes browser" before you actually closed your browser.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@ofMilwaukee cool. hope you enjoy the show. :-)

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@johnes it's a fun album. if you want a light listen and some fun, you'll dig it. :-)

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@samsonthrash where the heck do i hear 'em?!?!?!!?

@gunnarhanson2889 4 года назад

I have fond memories of some singles off Summerteeth that were preloaded on my mom's old plastic blue desktop Mac

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@anisleateher well, i always listen to things before i review them. you know that.

@sweetmovie07 12 лет назад

Fantano thank you for another stellar review. Also, thanks to Cal for the introduction. I am a fan who likes everything Wilco puts out I liked sky blue sky even and Wilco the album. So to me this album is the best thing they have done since a ghost is born.. its no summer teeth or YFTH but it comes close IMO.I agree the ballads can be a tad boring at times depending on my mood. This is definitely going on my top ten for 2011. Along with radiohead and fleet foxes..

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@DiabloDave363 yeah, reminds me of their old power pop days.

@summerfences 12 лет назад

glad you reviewed this! standing o and the final 12 minute track are great. ps. review more punk bands.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@nge1301 what should me do? :-(

@TheGreatGatsby1991 12 лет назад

I agree that this is one of their best since YHF. When I thought about the album, I imagine that the band took their best qualities from most of their albums and it resulted in The Whole Love. It definitely made it to my top ten albums of the year.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@BenSTBarker four?!?!?!?

@ErlingGrey 12 лет назад

great review!

@sjm1987 12 лет назад

@theneedledrop haha yea it's a nice signature touch, i just started to notice it in every video. keep up the good work!

@jaydeahoy 12 лет назад

nice review man

@redsoxfan591 12 лет назад

Can you put the review score back in the description? I've always enjoyed checking it and then watching the video to see the reasons you gave it that score. PS: Review La Dispute- Wildfire

@fullbleed24 12 лет назад

Hey do you think you're gonna get round to doing CSS? You put them one of your podcasts a while ago and said we could expect to hear more from them. I'd really like to hear you review it.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@JohnTheFaun good point.

@djgca1 12 лет назад

Really good album. I have to agree with you about the slow songs, though. They don't resonate with me nearly as much as the upbeat ones, but I absolutely love "One Sunday Morning Song." I think the thin production just adds to the somberness of it. I also recommend their collaborative album they did with Billy Bragg, Mermaid Avenue Volume I and II, back in '98 and '00. Really solid albums from two amazing artists.

@fortheloveofthesound 12 лет назад

I've been a Wilco fan since YHF, and this is the best record they have put out in my opinion. It is definitely the most developed. It's actually the most interesting since it's the first record on their own label. It has that weirdness that I love in Wilco and the melodies are the best that Jeff has ever worked out. It also has a lot of builds and breaks which keeps the record interesting. This record definitely grew on me throughout the first day that it came out and now. Hooked on them!

@brycerufener3463 10 лет назад

Hey do a real estate album please they throw some sick jams

@mractamt123 12 лет назад

I'm a long time fan and feel about the same on this one. Great review, thanks.

@Gweil000 12 лет назад

How does it compare to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot? I noticed you didn't mention it so I'd also like your opinion on it.

@mongaloogirl 12 лет назад

Hey Anthony, what about Jack Conte's newest, VS4? Maybe this runs too close to a "RU-vid crossover" territory, but I find many favorites in his tracks. Are you familiar with his (or Pomplamoose's) work? What do you think?

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@theakronhammer77 haven't heard it yet.

@coolguymcgee97 12 лет назад

You should do Best Albums of the 00's. I would really like to see where Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is placed (tied with Kid A for #1 for me).

@musicismyfavorite777 12 лет назад

Gotta have that Wildlife review! Also I wouldn't mind People & Things from Jack's Mannequin or Kill It Cut It Down by Parachute Musical

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@maalbe987 i know, right?!?! :-)

@HiFiAwardTour 12 лет назад

i think what anthony said in the last minute of the review sums up my feelings about wilco . some tracks are great, and what i like i really like, but so many of their songs i simply do not care about and do nothing for me. see them live if you get a chance though, was a great show when i saw them.

@localnatiive 12 лет назад

You go Cal! Haha I have been waiting for this review very nice! I too liked the album but I do often compare it to persay Yankee Foxtrot Hotel or other albums. Still Wilco is willlcooooo!

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@lwjohnson94 sadly, i don't review older stuff. :-(

@Brinnaaan 10 лет назад

It's sad that you ignored Born Alone and consider One Sunday Morning to be not valid as a closing piece.

@no_torrs 12 лет назад

To me a ghost is born is probably never going to be topped but that doesn't mean wilco still kicks ass. I got the delux edition and I just love some of these including the slower tracks Like the alt version of black moon is just beautifull and one sunday morning is also just beautiful. As always great review Anthony and looking good chuchesta.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@xaviedc yes

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@Samodrei if you love cal so much, why don't you marry him?!?!?!!?!?!?

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@TaffyRaphie RIGHT!

@ToniRavioli that's the ol' death grips rage for you.

@thewonderfuluncool 12 лет назад

Any chance you can review the new Mutemath album, Odd Soul?

@nightpotato 12 лет назад

What do you typically do while absorbing music? Just sit there and listen to it? Drive? Draw?

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@CenturyCharactar maybe one day. when TND is older and more mature.

@mattydigs 12 лет назад

@TheFrugalGamer No I agree. It gets unfairly put down. This review is no different. I didn't like it either cuz it wasn't as crazy and rockish as 'A Ghost is Born' but that was only the first skimmed listen. Months later I picked it back up and slowly fell in love. Jeff pours his heart out in that thing and it's just bursting with beauty and meaningful poetry. I realized that I was a fool for having any expectations for it based on their past work.It's a subdued but masterful album.

@mrmute05 12 лет назад

I'd say its a strong 8 or a light 9 for me. I didn't like it much at first, but as a whole it's really grown on me and I'd say it's their third best album after Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Summerteeth. Plus, I always love a good bit of lyrical dissonance :)

@TurnOneOver 12 лет назад

Serious question: Is their any album that ever got a light/decent/strong 10?

@samsonthrash 12 лет назад

@theneedledrop They have them on their bandcamp from their record company "Heavy Artillery Records" and someone upload them on RU-vid already!

@popcornfart17 12 лет назад

I just watched the video with deadendhiphop about classic hiphop albums... Can you review old/classic hiphop albums?

@scottEhall3 11 лет назад

Agree agree agree! Agreement on the idea, agreement on your rankings

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@790javier i regret to inform you that this review will probably not happen. :-(

@cheddarerickson 12 лет назад

Kind of an old album, and you may have heard it already, but I really think you should listen to the self titled album by Doomtree. I would like to hear your opinion on this one.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@SquishypuffDave waht is this?!?!?!?

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@AHarmlessBlackMan glad to hear it. :-)

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@thefilmmillenium he's a smart one.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@JohnTheFaun hey, me too!

@BlastFromYesterday 12 лет назад

the outro, is that a real song? or just some chords and beat?

@grelch 12 лет назад

How about reviewing White Denim D. It's an album I heard Jeff Tweedy recommend in an interview recently.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@ratm239 he did one time in my lady gaga review.

@ErnestCalderon 12 лет назад

do you review unsigned bands?

@soursweettooth 12 лет назад

I've been a Wilco fan forever but kinda got nudged off the wagon with Sky Blue Sky. I think I'll pick this up though. If you like it it can't be bad.

@mongomeisterlich 12 лет назад

have you reviewed "this is our science" by astronautalis?

@andrewswafford 12 лет назад

Hmm. I have basically the same overall feeling as you do with this record (lots of really good songs and then some forgettable ones, lots of borrowed melodies), but the songs that were forgettable to me are the faster ones, like Standing O and Dawned on Me for example. Black Moon and Sunday Morning are two of my favorites.

@lwjohnson94 12 лет назад

@shelheadrox585 That's awesome to gave such a great uncle.The guy has one of the most positive stage presences I have ever seen

@lancebramsay 12 лет назад

Cal's intro was a brilliant crash and burn

@surfbumdj 12 лет назад

I was never a Wilco fan before this album. The only reason for that is the lack of exposure. Wilco is an amazing band, and The Whole Love shows it through and through. I disagree with your opinion on "Art of Almost". The building solo that includes various loops and massive amounts of energy is one of my favorite parts of this CD. The end of that song leaves you wanting more. And they serve up a heaping platter of MORE with "I Might". BTW, Nels plays the solo from track 1 AMAZINGLY live.

@theneedledrop 12 лет назад

@DanielBowden1975 thanks. :-) positivity is the way. :-D

@sweetmovie07 12 лет назад

Dude never get rid of Cal making him part of the show was a great move. Anthony, I think some posters really do not know that is you.. Wow!
