this is a very slow, dull album. the kinda thing that you may expect from james taylor or something similarly lame. this band is too good to be so tepid. save your $. Free Music Review: My opinion- SBS
Hit: 3 Stars
I am a huge Wilco fan--- own all the albums, and all the bootlegs etc.--- In my opinion- this band (Tweedy) composes the best music available today. They are also a tremendous band to see live. That said- SBS is a let down for me. It is a good album-- but not a great album. One of the things Tweedy does well is leave the listener wanting a little more--- he never "over-does it"-- and doesn't pound the listener with the same melodies and choruses the way most artists do. However- SBS leaves me famished--- the songs could be so much more. The melodies are so soft and subtle- that you need to really reach for them- and once found-- they quickly float away. A couple of other concerns--- the album is very soft-- even the guitar work- which is quite good- is soft-- and the drum work is held back vs. previous work. Next-- no "pop" songs. Though Wilco rarely gets radio play- they have traditionally had tunes that are real "toe-tappers"--- Late Greats, War on War, Hummingbird, etc.--- there is nothing like that on this record. At the end of the day- it is a good album--- the songs are still well written and much more interesting than most music being produced today--- but not what I hoped for.Free Music Review: Hooray For Me

I like Ghost and YHF fine, but I selfishly wished they would strip back their production to reveal the simple beauty of their songwriting, lyrics, and vocals. This is my album, and I love it. It's not the most terribly original thing, but it is very very pretty. Turns out someone in the band is even a good guitar player; I listened to the solo on the first cut several times, I find it tasteful and wonderful. Anyhoo, don't know if this album is better than the last two, it just happened to be more to my personal taste. Lucky me, I guess.Free Music Review: More 'Being There' less 'Foxtrot'
Hit: 4 Stars
If you love Wilco, like I do, you will love this album. It is their most accessible album in over a decade. Summerteeth and Foxtrot rank as my favorites, but Ghost is my least favorite, and I'm glad this is a departure from that. Think A.M. and Being There, with a little more wisdom and professionalism.
I've grown to love this album.

Wilco is unquestionably one of the best bands of our time, and this is certainly worth a listen.
This is very different from Ghost / YHF in that the songs are much more direct, with less elaborate mixes / elusive lyrics than their prior two masterpieces. Sort of hearkens to Being There, but with less of an alt-country sound.
One of the best of 2007 - but not quite as good as at least this fan was expecting (check out Cassadega for the best to date this year).
