Free Music Notes for Sky Blue Sky (CD/DVD)
Free Music Review: One of the greats
Hit: 5 Stars
I already had 4 or 5 promotional mp3s from this album and wasn't really going to buy it. Those songs grew on me slowly and I thought they were a disappointing departure from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Eventually I found myself listening to those songs several times a day. I'm glad I bought the full cd/dvd. The songs I hadn't heard hit me quickly. Yes, it is more stripped down than their last few but there is still that unmistakable Wilco blend of comfort and experimentation. People like to point out the similarities they hear to other artists and that's cool - but in the end this is all Wilco. Probably my favorite active band right now. With this album, I feel they have proven they can do what they want and rank with the greats. Their albums will be around 100 years from now.
I like Stephen B. Wright's observance in another review: they can realease great albums each time out and still piss off a portion of their fanbase with each one. For now, I'm a fan of all of it.
Regarding the DVD - I don't normally like interviews where the writers go on about everything they were thinking and blah blah blah. It usually sounds a little corny and self-important. Let the music speak for itself. The interviews here are pretty good - not embarrassing. The performances, though, are the reason to get it. Good stuff .
Free Music Review: Best Wilco Album Ever!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've listened to Wilco's music forever. I've liked all the musical change ups but some albums took longer than others to become accustomed to. Same with this one. It took about a week. After the first day I would have given it 3.5 stars. One week later I believed it's their best album ever.
Great Songs, incredible lyrics (Just listen to them!). The DVD is terrific and helps give you a deeper understanding of songs.
Keep changing it up boys! How about a punk album next?
Free Music Review: Ready for prime time
Hit: 5 Stars
I have had a strong interest in Wilco since they recorded Summerteeth, and can say that, i am always surprised, and pleased with each new release. Sky Blue Sky seems so fitting after the rousing, excilleration of the live recordings, Kicking Television. Clean scrubbed and earthy, with the bling bling left on the dresser. I can't wait to see them live in June.Free Music Review: Excellent songs and DVD
Hit: 5 Stars
Wilco keeps on making great music. As with the last couple albums, it took me a couple listens to really get the full feel of the music. It is wonderful. I am very happy I got the CD/DVD set. The DVD is well produced and shot. It gives you some insight on the songs and the band dynamic. It is well worth the extra couple bucks. Highly recommended!!!Free Music Review: Getting better all the time

I have only listened to the album fully through 3 times. Jeff Tweedy is the best singer /songwriter /musician in the music business today. This album impresses from the first note to the beautiful On And On And On. Great guitar work throughout, one of my favorite drummers in the business adds flourishes that are almost orchestral at times. The live songs on the DVD are outstanding and the package is complete. Best Band in US since The Band.
