I have two albums that I was disappointed by in 2009. I don’t say that about many albums, because I can generally find something redeeming about everything, but I expected much more from these two bands – The Decemberists and Wilco. I’ve talked about The Decemberists before on the blog, so I won’t go over that again. The Wilco album seemed almost rushed to me.
It may have been that I couldn’t get over the whole Wilco [The Album]
I bring this up only because “Side With the Seeds” cropped up the other day while I was listening, and it was breathtaking. I don’t doubt that Wilco will regain form – everyone is due a misstep, I suppose – and until they do, I’ll be content with Sky Blue Sky.
