The Word On... Wilco, Wilco (the album)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."Could be described as Wilco in meat-and-potatoes rock'n'roll mode ... But structurally, the album is cleanly cleaved between the sing-along Wilco and the freeform Wilco. When the former begins to overcome the latter, the album suffers." - Noel Murray, avclub.com
"An album that rounds out a solid trifecta following 'Foxtrot'. No, it doesn't have the ambition of 'Foxtrot' or the bombast of 1996's 'Being There', but it's a beautiful collection of songs. 'One Wing' is one of the better songs frontman Jeff Tweedy has penned in some time." - huffingtonpost.com
"'Wilco (the Album)' is a retrospective of the band's progress to this point. It's been an exciting evolution as the band has changed and grown, but the album leaves one important question unanswered: Where does Wilco go next?'" - Eric R Danton, blogs.courant.com
"For a band whose reputation was built on being sonic pioneers, this can only be perceived as something of a letdown. A 'solid' or 'sturdy' album – which is certainly what 'Wilco (The Album)' is – would be acceptable from many bands, but not Wilco." - popmatters.com
