the experimentation, the odd sounds, the mixing of poppy and artsy, the fight with the record company, the instrumentation, the deconstruction and reconstruction of the songs, the album cover, the vocals and the lyrics

They expertly use technology to complement their strange, beautiful and haunted style of breathtakingly beautiful sound

If you like a little edgier, rebellious, cocky sound, try Ryan Adams, or even Jesse Malin

Fans of Wilco who enjoy their early alt-country sound shouldn't pick up this record, because that's not what you get

The extra attention to texture, pitch, timbre, dynamics, rhythms, &c., might lead to some slip-ups, but the overall sound of this album is far richer and more complex than anything the band, and probably the sub-genre, has ever produced.

Great sound on vinyl.

This music just sounds burned out - no spirit, no sense of fun, no real message in the lyrics.

scribble beautiful lugubrious telepathic sounds on Tweedy's tongue and out emanate these breathtaking songs

It flows beautifully, it has a MAGNIFICENT sound on a turntable

Repeated listens are a must to truly appreciate the sound that Wilco has created

But just as Moon wouldn't have worked on Velvet Underground records, Coomer's sound just wasn't right.

Iam trying to break your heart' works well with its enriched sounds that are very 'Enoish', 'Kamera' is more upbeat Wilco, 'War on War' continues with the poppiness,'Heavy metal drummer' is really a dancy beat/rootsy song, etc

and you do like studying the craft of songs, or are interested in what music that remains mostly upbeat and catchy, but also artsy and experimental sounds like at

The last song is just "pretty" like Wilco saying you made it through the album and now it will just nice, peaceful sounds

The last song is just "pretty" like Wilco saying you made it through the album and now it will just nice, peaceful sounds

The clean, spacious sound on the best songs, the pop sensibilities on others, and the slowly ramping build up on others merits recognition

The first tract sounded horrid, like some bad county western karaoke.

Every song is a winner, whether it be the straight up catchy pop sound of "Kamera" or "Heavy Metal Drummer" to the more subdued meandering melodic "Jesus, etc" to the somewhere inbetween but equally

Camera sounds noiseless but strange sounds do sneak into the tune at the end

This album has such a great sound.

Camera sounds noiseless but strange sounds do sneak into the tune at the end

Okay, I get what's going on here, the static and other annoying sounds are supposed to simulate a radio broadcast

They can be borderline irritating, and this comes from a listener who tends to like more experimental sounds and artists that have an acquired taste

For one thing, with the intricate sound of this album, there's a real noticeable difference from the mp3.Also, I for one am tired of seeing the blank stares from cool people who have good music taste when I tell them who my favorite band is

While Summerteeth used keyboards and effects to create a inviting retro sound, this album uses those same things to create a leaner more modern sound

Even a slightly unusual tweak in the mixing, such as the lush, pronounced guitar sound that is featured

The first tract sounded horrid, like some bad county western karaoke.

Beautifully packaged and great sound

The guitars have a clean, warm sound and the songs are written more from the heart than the head

The songs sound great, the production by Jim O'Rourke is nice, and the album sustains nicely

It sounds amazing on my record player, a rich, clean and full sound

They apparently started out as a more or less traditional country band, but their sound has warped and twisted into what it is now, something almost completely unidentifiable with that genre.

I had never heard a more compelling, dynamic sound

Some people complain that the avant-garde sounds serve to hide deficiencies in the songs (which may be slightly more true on A Ghost is Born), but I think those sounds are very important to the album, tying every thing together very beautifully

scribble beautiful lugubrious telepathic sounds on Tweedy's tongue and out emanate these breathtaking songs

and oh, what a wonderful sound they have become.

The production/mastering must have been done with vinyl in mind as the sound from my set up is rich, dense and powerful

Wilco has really mastered the sound of feedback and noise.

Taking average songs and adding annoying sounds to each track doesn't make them extraordinary.

What an incredible surprise this is, what a breathtaking original sound.

If you like a little edgier, rebellious, cocky sound, try Ryan Adams, or even Jesse Malin

Their sound is not only innovative, but it is also refreshing as well

there are plenty of wonderful sounds on here, and it takes many listens to discern them all.but it doesn't end there

It has a simple melody and chord structure, but the sharp lyrics and wild sounds come together for something really interesting, really moving

There's no intricate sounds, amazing lyrics, etc

but overall the sound of this album is warm and personal

But I will concede that many of the electronics on YHF are undenyably cool sounding

Who Loves You" has an annoying guitar that sounds like crap, but it becomes pretty cool sounding once it gets past that single-note solo

It has a simple melody and chord structure, but the sharp lyrics and wild sounds come together for something really interesting, really moving

There are these killer songs with lyrics, melodies, and lots of cool sounds, that is a good recipe for pop/rock goodness

Wilco's last effort, Summerteeth, had a lush sound and most of the songs were completely filled out.

The answer is that the wonderful sounds are engaging, challenging and at times tearjerking

The album is full of glorious and diverse sounds like dobros, brass, synth, steel guitars and various guitar riffs from metal to funk.

I could have used fewer fuzzy distorted sounds, which aren't that rare these days, and a few more rich backing tracks, without such a thin underlying sound (acoustic guitars, drums, ho hum
