After spending the last 15 years experimenting Wilco has used all their tricks to make their self-titled 7th studio album. It seems that they are done reinventing themselves for now and are happy to just consolidate all their strengths into this sound. It's a really good solid album. They do sunny pop and 70's style rock with a little noise thrown in for good measure. Lyrically I haven't really delved into it but it sounds like standard Jeff Tweedy fare to me. It's not going to make them any bigger than they already are or cause anybody who didn't like them before to change their mind. If you liked their last album Sky Blue Sky but wished it wasn't quite so "safe" I highly recommend Wilco (the album).
Rating 4.0/5.0
