Sorry Wilco, I wanted to like your album so badly, but my ability to not fall asleep is not stronger than this tryptophan bullshit you keep putting out. In other words, if you own 'Sky Blue Sky,' 'Wilco (the Album)' is very inessential. Actually, this album is not essential for any reason. This album sucks for lack of better wording. It truly reeks of old man and Volkswagen commercials.
I really did want to like this album. Wilco had a run of great albums from 'Summerteeth' to 'A Ghost is Born,' which were all high in experimentation, ideas, and songs that do the opposite of make me want to snooze. The album starts so promising with the upbeat 'Wilco (the Song),' but 'Deeper Down' actually sounds like a lullaby. 'One Wing' and 'Bull Black Nova' are decent songs, but will not wake anyone in a light slumber. 'You and I' has Feist in it, but isn't great. The rest isn't worth mentioning. Sorry Wilco, but you're done.
