Wilco\u2019s eighth studio album, The Whole Love<\/em>, is an exciting and enjoyable cruise through familiar territory. Of the dozen tracks on the album, none veer the Wilco train wildly off the tracks, though there are some interesting and welcome detours along the way.
\nThe opener, \u201cArt of Almost,<\/a>\u201d gets wild early, though the rest of the disc fails to kick out the jams to such heights again. The arrangements throughout are tight, interesting, and, of course, catchy as can be. With the exception of the leading and closing tracks, each tune is a compact, easily digestible example of Jeff Tweedy\u2019s pop song writing skills. The closing track, \u201cOne Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley\u2019s Boyfriend),\u201d<\/a> is a meandering folk jam clocking in at the 12-minute mark that quite beautifully captures the feeling of a Sunday morning in autumn.
\nIf you\u2019re already a Wilco fan, you probably own this album already. If more than one person whose musical taste you trust has told you that you might like Wilco, you\u2019ll probably dig this album. If you\u2019ve already grown tired of Tweedy & Co\u2019s act, well, you won\u2019t be surprised if this album doesn\u2019t grab you by the balls. Personally, I dig the album, but I\u2019m not about to drop 30 bucks on the LP just yet. But the disc is certainly a creeper, with tunes lingering around in my head days after I\u2019ve politely invited them to leave the party. After a few more spins, I may have to re-evaluate my position and invite The Whole Love <\/em>in to stay awhile.
