Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Gretest Album of All-Time!! Comment: This is with out a doubt the greatest album ever recorded. The lyrics are straight from the heart and the musical arrangements are incredible! I personally feel that this album highlights Jeff Tweedy's writing ability as well as the band's ability to be comfortable "in their own skin". There are songs that are relaxing ("Either Way", "Sky Blue Sky"), songs of dispair ("You are My Face", "Please be Patient With Me"), which are my two favorites, and songs of great hope ("Impossible Germany", "What Light", and "On and On and On"). This album, believe it or not, saved our marriage. Thank you Jeff Tweedy and Wilco for putting out an album with so much heart and a long lasting message. Customer Rating: Summary: I want more!!! Comment: This is a great, great album. Why? Because among other things I love John Lennon, the Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd,, 70's fusion, and music in which melody is strong. But this is not apeing. My first Wilco album, this is where I enter the fold. Very accessible and warm, but at the same time challenging, unexpected, sophisticated with moments of frightening dissonance. Fun, easy, and subtle and dark. Great music and movies always spawn controversy; that is one of the measures. Can't wait for another Wilco album with Nels Cline on guitar! Wow. I'm 50, and it is heartening that rock music continues to grow and mature. No end in sight...makes me smile. Customer Rating: Summary: I agree with the review by Nick....very moody....and underated Comment: Not to rehash, the review by Nick is very good.......I couldn't agree more. That Poi Dog cd that he mentions is incredible as well...Chicago band..must be a midwest thing along with Wilco! Try 7 from Poi Dog when you get the Wilco Cd....you'll be glad you did !7 Customer Rating: Summary: Unexpectedly Moody........the "Dark" Wilco CD... Comment: This is the Wilco CD that I really though should have followed the debut.....it's moody, rather dark, somber, and has that down feeling about it. Wilco are like the Stones of the Gen X generation, and will probably not really be honored like they should be until far after the fact......like the new Poi Dog Pondering '7' CD demonstrates, some of these true artists are making better records now than they did 15 years ago.........check 'em both out, you won't be disapointed Customer Rating: Summary: review: Comment: jeff tweedy is getting a little old. too bad. this album is pretty disappointing. it's not bad, but i think my expectations were too high. i'll never get my hopes up again (just kidding, i will).

Editorial Reviews: After their wild experimental streak of the past decade, Wilco's sixth studio album might feel like a bit of a comedown. Sky Blue Sky is mellow, moody, and uncharacteristically monotone, opening with a pleasant jangle and Jeff Tweedy singing a simple song: "Maybe the sun will shine today, the clouds will blow away." He doesn't even follow it up with a barbed punchline. Could it be that the restless Chicago band has settled back into its gentle Americana roots--or does this sudden mid-career reappraisal represent Wilco's gutsiest move yet? Mostly written in the studio by the full band, it's certainly the group's most cohesive album in ages, presenting a dense song cycle padded with intricate guitar work, brushed rhythms, and '70s soft-rock accents. In places it sounds like Wings ("Hate It Here"), in others Harry Nilsson ("Walken"), and in the middle it goes a bit Grateful Dead ("Shake It Off"). At the same time, there's a distinct sense of hearing a band finally at ease in its own skin. Sky Blue Sky represents the sound of Wilco finally pulling through its petulant adolescence. --Aidin Vaziri
