Just listened in a concentrated, undistracted way to the new Wilco album all the way through, and I have to say that I'm impressed. I have read several lukewarm reviews. I'm not really sure why "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" and "A Ghost Is Born," both albums that I like a great deal, are often referred to as "experimental." I guess because they departed from the formula established by Wilco's earlier efforts. "Sky Blue Sky," and the new "Wilco (The Album)" are being described as a return to form. Which I suppose means a return to that pre-YHF formula. It seems to me that (as indicated recently in a Modest Mouse thread...) a fairly even evolutionary progression from one album to the next is in fact what Wilco has demonstrated. From what I have been reading, I apparently liked "Sky Blue Sky" more than most. I'm not prepared to say how I would rank "Wilco (The Album)" in sequence among the other Wilco albums at this point. Time has a way of working that out. There isn't a song on this new effort that I don't like. IMHO I think that track#2 ("Deeper Down"), track #3 ("One Wing"), track #4 ("Bull Black Nova"), and track #5 ("You And I") comprise the strongest four track sequence that I can remember on a Wilco album.
