Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
 

It's actually very good.

Isn't it?

It's okay. As I said the other day, Ghost is Born is the only one that does anything for me, really.

it has a few moments on it. i thought some of the songs sounded way better live.

hell of a lot better than their last one, that's for sure.

Wilco is one of my favorite bands of all time and Sky Blue Sky is really good, but like SuperCreep said, some of the songs sounded way better live (they played Impossible Germany, Hate It Here and Walken when I saw them and it was just amazing !)

Nels solo in Impossible Germany is golden.

Indeed.

Sky Blue Sky is my favorite Wilco album. I would have loved to have seen them live.

I adore the last one!

But I'm surprised at how good SBS is....a lot of negative reviews at the time. I think many were shocked at it's "simplicity", and lack of wankery, which was evident on AGIB.

This was the album that made me lose interest in Wilco, so I'm going to have to disagree. I just get really bored by it.

I love Wilco live, but not on record. I think it's the production. Many of these songs work much better on stage, and that goes for all of their albums. But sure, it's a decent album.

did you catch them on SNL when this album came out?

My personal preference.
A Ghost is Born>Yankee Hotel Foxtrot>Being There>AM>Sky Blue Sky>Summerteeth>Wilco The Album

^^^ Right on!

Indeed. Born Again In The USA rules so much.
