Reviews (page 12 of 12)

incorporates the violin in the album. A couple of memorable songs Jesus, ect. Other than that pretty nondescript.

Boring and a tad pretentious

Chaotisch, saai, niet mijn ding Wel een mooie hoes

Chaos en slecht

I never listened to Wilco but went to see Jeff tweedys twilight override a couple months ago and it was great. However this was something different. The first two thirds of this album felt like a poor emulation of bright eyes and was almost unlistenable. The last third was ok but this was a struggle for me.

Fuck off whiny crying baby, Radiohead knock off. I thought the other reviews were exaggerating how boring this was - NO!, it was even more boring.

Absolute tosh

Meh - not really an album for me. Sleepy background music.

Misma tono todas las canciones

another almost unlistenable album. barely a chorus to be found. horrible whiny boy vibes. can't imagine living a happy life while listening to this.

This was bland

Super boring not finished

Boring.

some odd sound, it’s not awful but not impressive. sometimes it sounds very chaotic, for sure you get some and I emphasise on some radiohead mood, but for me it’s lacking harmony. I don’t want to finish it, I’d rather listen to velvet underground

If you don’t love Radiohead and The Fray at their most boring, sad sack worst, you won’t like this. ⭐️

Atonal, nonsense lyrics.

Schlimm, glaub ich habs überhaupt nicht verstanden

Es como manejar en en linea recta enel desierto: rezas que aparezca algo para sentir un poco de emoción

Mmmmm, definitivamente no de mis favoritos. Estaba esperando para que termine, aunque Pot Kettle Back estuvo buena.

not for me

Well, that was yet some more monotone mumbling.

Great if you need help sleeping

I agree with several reviews that say it's a boring album. Some songs were pleasant, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

Laughably bland. This has nothing to say.

hadn't heard Wilco before, happy if I never do again, dreary crap.

Yesterday, Kacey Musgraves taught me that country-inspired singer-songwriter music can be good. Today, Wilco is teaching me just how bad alternative rock can be. The ingredients are the same as yesterday, just with the signs reversed: a singer with a boring voice who sings in an annoying way, “songs” you forget immediately after the last note, and a production that prioritizes effects (which are also poorly used) over a decent overall sound. Someone wrote that this album is just incredibly boring—but it’s worse than that: I’ve been listening to these guys for 50 minutes now, and all I can remember are random “sound effects.” You could call it art rock, I call it noise ****

Im not sure what did u just listen

Mag das Album Cover Sieht aus wie Mais Zwischendurch hab ich so nen kleinen Funken von was nostalgischem gefühlt, so dieser sehr typische Indie Sound der 2000er Jahre Dann auch ein bisschen Ikea Vibes

not good

I got really bored. I can't believe this is from 2003. I get that there are bands that are trying to sound vintage, but why do they need to be included here if there is virtually NOTHING different from older bands that are on this list. Really, I am ok with new music that sounds vintage if it has at least something that anchors it to the modern age. This ain't it for me.

I wanted to tap out of this album less than two minutes into it, and nothing after that redeemed it. It's boring, and if you like it, I'm convinced you're a boring person.

Great, more depressing 2000's indie. This sounds like the cure for insomnia. Would it kill them to add some dynamics, or maybe a tempo change? Doldrums defined.

'Pot Kettle Black'. 'Radio Cure' but only just. In 'I'm the Man Who Loves You' I hear Beatles influence but it's a potentially good song that's been Wilco'd. 'Poor Places' is a good example of a song that starts well but goes off the rails. 'Experimental' indie is a genre fraught with risk and this proves why. It might be very accomplished instrumentally but it's dull and at times, annoying.

Awful moaning album

Incredibly boring and bland.

My guess is musicians will appreciate what is going on here. But, they lost me at the whistle.

ni lo pude terminar fr

Defintely a downer Talented but makes me down

Has this much fuss ever been made about such nothing music? The aural equivalent of a blank expression.

Radiohead from Temu dot com

Somewhat experimental and progressive folk that has a niche following. Not for me, but respect the sound and emotion

мне интересно, на основе чего складывалась книга о 1001 альбоме

Lost the wilco to live

boring, nothing special abt it

Boring and generally unpleasant on the ears. Hopefully my eye will stop twitching soon if I listen to someone else who can actually sing.

I dont have much tk say

i honestly did not like this album. the rhythm is way too slow and i even felt like the beat was not working just felt like the words were spilling. obviously some songs are better than others but this is definitely not an album i would listen to.

1. heart - 1 2. kamera - 1 3. cure - 1 4. uuar - 0 5. jezuz - 1 6. flagz - 0 7. metal - 0 8. man -0 9. pot - 1 10. poor - 0 11. rezervationz - 1

Never been a fan of this band, this album being an embodiment of everything I don't like about this band. Quite a few artists that I like that are similar but not this group.

pas terminé très très boring

Not my vibe really. Too folky

geen fijne stem klinkt soms vals beetje saaie liedjes soms

Incredibly boring album. The entire thing is like a bad attempt at a radiohead song

so fkn boring

didnt care for this

I just can't with Wilco

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Considering that it hasn't been two weeks since we had to ensure the last Wilco album, this seems aggressively harsh even for this algorithm of auditory hatred. Look. This categorically sucks. It's the very definition of monotonous. The lyrics are shallow, repetitive, and poorly delivered. Often, the "music" devolves into garden variety noise. I'd be shocked by all the acclaim it's been given, but as I've pointed out before, the 00s were a trash decade where bad music was all you pretty much had to pick from, so perhaps this really was the best thing going at the time. *shudder* What a disturbing thought that was!

The creators of this list must love jerking it while listening to Wilco. I can’t see any other conceivable reason for them to be on here twice.

Not my style, new the Jesus song. Skipped most of them. Wasn't feeling it!

Indie sadboi twaddle. Didn’t make it through the whole album

Strange alternative. Not really connecting with me

Why is it that bands like these always have some of the worst vocalists in music history? I'm not saying the album wouldn't be shit with a capable singer, but it'd be somewhat digestible with one. It's like an even worse Radiohead, which I didn't think was possible. Jesus, etc. was the diamond in dog shit, caught me off guard a little bit amidst everything else.

Boring slow background noise

I have no clue what genre they were even aiming for here. It felt like indie, folk, noise, and whatever else all thrown in a blender with no real direction. I listened to it while driving for Thanksgiving, and I was honestly thankful when it was finally over. Nothing grabbed me, nothing stuck, and it just dragged the whole way through.

I know people love this band but I’ve just never been able to figure them out. The whole album is so glum (except for heavy metal drummer)

I've listend to this album yesterday and now I cannot remember anything about it. I guess it was quite boring

I got my photo taken by a member of Wilco at a museum Halloween party. It’s a great photograph. That’s all I have to say about Wilco.

This confirmed that Wilco is just a shitty band that writers like to reference as some “hip” thing. Truly a waste of my time and energy.

Slow and monotonous, another boring indie rock type album that nearly put me to sleep

I have given worse albums than this a two but I need to be more brutal. This just isn't compelling and I dont see how it could ever be

First song is stupid. Second is devoid of any originality or tunefulness whatsoever. Third is a waste of life. "War on War" sounds like an awful version of War On Drugs (great band). The rest of the songs are boring with nice moments overshadowed by noise. Now for a nap, please...

No me interesó.

sleepy, boring, I don’t really think those indies have anything meaningful to express, almost a piece of shit making nonsense

Did not like this album really at all. I'm just not an indie rock fan. None of these songs stuck with me and it all just sounded meh. Definitely not for me.

not my cuppa

I did not like this album at all. The melancholy feel just wasn't for me. I was finding it hard to get through the entire thing just to say that I did. I'll rate it one star because I have to rate it.

Low energy, boring, and downright sloppy at times. Juvenile lyrics with zero substance. Odd mix of ambience and whiny country that does not land for me at all. Would honestly give zero stars if I could

Puke. I have the lowest tolerance in the world for twee bullshit. I've said it before and I'll say it again, just plug in the electric guitar guys. Somewhere in here is Built to Spill's seventh best album and thus a 4/5 album

This is exactly the type of mundane shit that makes me want to delete this app.

I did not like this album, although I was not able to actually complete it. Found it quite formulaic and boring. Tv commercial music?

So boring. Sleep inducing even.

1 out of 5 This was too slow for me.

A sad and introspective view of someone with a big ego and nothing new to say.

this album sucks!!!!! SORRY I WAS BORED LMAO

I’m starting to believe the people who created this list are all clinically depressed. Awful, not enjoyable whatsoever.

People love this but it's so slow. Camera pans slowly through a midwestern run down bar. Patrons are smoking and lightly chatting. The lights are low and sunlight streams in through dirty windows, picking up traces of dust in the air. Everyone is sad.

Gnade. Nicht noch ein "Alternative Rock" Album.

It's not 'bad' bad. It does do absolutely nothing for me though. I guess I can see how some might find it charming.

Boring.

fucking whining

Gillar inte sångrösten än så länge. Stängde av efter 5 låtar. Tråkigt, generiskt. Finns inget för mig

Blimey, that was dull ... 3/10

rædsomt

El dia que grabaron el disco el pianista estaba enfermo y fue un bebe a tocar el piano, luego todos se volvieron locos y se les olvido como se tocaba musica, no escucheis esto si os duele la cabeza si lo haceis explotareis, a quien aviso para que dejen de ponerme mierda experimental? parece un sueño que se transforma en pesadilla, BASTA

Kids shown monotone and boring to be honest. I really wanted to like this one but just couldn’t get into it.

👎🏻

Lacklustre, unhinged and messy

-chaotic - Not melodic - Melody out of touch with the vocal - trying to break your heart is awful listening to - rest ist okay, but would rather listen to other albums

Didn’t like it.

1.5/10 Out of all the albums so far, this was not what I was expecting to get my first 1 star rating. I nearly fell asleep at the wheel with this project. Everything felt so disconnected while listening and I couldn’t find barely anything that I liked. The cover is bland just like the music. Some songs straight up made me skip them, which I don’t do often. Probably won’t be listening to this again.

Boring. Dear Lord so boring. I could have watched paint dry and it would have been more musically interesting.

Plain and boring, it doesn't even work as elevator music. 3/10

Didn’t enjoy; Not my style of music and didn’t like the singers voice

Not my cup of tea.

Nyt oli tuplalevyllisen verran aikamoista kuraa. Hajutonta ja mautonta mikä ei herättänyt minkäänlaisia tuntemuksia, mikä varmaan kuuluukin hajuttoman ja mauttoman tehdäkkin. Albumia kuunnellessa päässäni oli lähinnä kaksi asiaa. Yksi, milloin tämä shaiba loppuu. Kaksi, kahta surkeaa levyä ei voi osua peräkkäisille päiville.

This album does nothing for me. Sounds like a budget Elliott Smith.

I hate the Yankees.

Var kanske på fel humör, men tyckte det var astråkigt

Скукота Даже если это просто спокойная музыка, в ней я не смог найти ничего интересного для себя

Unremarkable 1/5

it’s not for me

So, this is Pavement when they “grow up” right? A little more country and more mellow? I think this one is very overrated. I’d much rather listen to “No Depression” by Uncle Tupelo.

Can’t lie, I couldn’t even finish the whole album. The melodramatic misery that I just put myself through for 30 minutes gave me a headache. This website could probably become 1000 generated albums and get rid of this one.

standard meh American indie "rock"

Unbearably boring

I do not know what the hype about Wilco is all about. Super depressing, uncomfortable vibe; tuneless meanderings through maudlin manchild minutiae.

I went into this album knowing nothing about Wilco, and expecting noise music or experimental rock. There was almost some hint of that, but not nearly enough to overcome the whiny, boring, indie rock sound.

Not my cup of tea

Looking them up on Wikipedia: they sound really up themselves. Listening to this album: they sound really up themselves.

Honestly an absolute chore to get through - this was certainly the ar retype of mopey indie boys tell you about nothing much in the most irritating tangy manner. I was told while listening to this that their Wikipedia page says "not to be confused with [UK hardware store] Wilko", and honestly would rather be buying mediocre garden furniture than listening to this album again.

This is soulless and aimless pap. Hated the delivery and annunciation throughout. At times, it sounds a bit like Eels, Flaming Lips, early Beck, but pales in comparison. The overall production is pretty good. Not an album or artist that resonates with me I'm afraid.

Wilco is ok but not this album.

I'm not likely to listen again.

Sounds like a Grateful Dead Jr. Very mellow. So mellow it borders on being boring. Not my favorite but I didn’t hate it.

I don't know if I was in a bad mood or what, but I just found this album to be very boring.

Nope. This is sooooo not my type of music.

These guys can kiss my ass. So painfully boring. Horrid singing and weird instrumentals immediately bum you out from the first song and remind you with each track throughout. Imagine being signed to a record contract and you release this lmao. 2/10.

Didn't like the singer's voice and it sounds over produced and too much going on. No heart or soul, just noise to me.

One word: yawn.

What a waste of time. There is nothing good about this album. My cat writes more interesting songs.

Not for me. 1/5

Did not like it. One of those hipster albums... next

Americans trying to sound like Brit rock. Shit.

Boring

Pretentious and boring just like most indie rock

No thoughts idk what that was

Dreary

Nölig

Don't like his voice

Dullcore.

Bravo Oscar Romeo India November Golf

Not a Wilco guy

Just like the previous Wilco album I have trouble understanding this album it’s so boring and yet mysteriously popular. Hope it’s the last Wilco on the list.

Like Beck and Radiohead came together, led by one of the most dull, boring lead vocalists on the list.

С претензией на поп-арт, но по факту скучная шляпа

One interesting track Boring af

Codswallop

Beefing with your label so hard you leave and stream the album for free on your website is extremely punk rock but unfortunately the sound is just boring. It further suffers from Jeff Tweedy possibly being the name of my junior high friend (redacted)'s shithead stepdad who would tell her she "didn't deserve to be a Tweedy" when she misbehaved, like there was any social cachet involved whatsoever. I always thought this would be a much more compelling threat if it was Tweety, because at the time Looney Tunes were still fairly relevant in teen and adult popular culture.

Bring music. No hits.

Reprise called it right when they refused to release this. Impressive studio work only gets you so far when you're working with weak songs, and I'd argue that Tweedy and Bennett's disjointed songwriting process bore some half-baked goods here.

Saw the album and had bad memories…

I'm not into indie rock so this was not for me

Not for me 1/5

This was a bummer of an album. Kind of like washed up hippies. I didn't get it.

This pretty much sucks. Depressive feeling sorry for myself lyrics with lousy cry baby singing (whining)over weak music. Who listens to this crap?

Bleh, very monotone

I listened to this twice and still don’t know that I feel anything about it. It seems like the sort of thing I should like but I don’t. I’m going to have to give it one star - not because I hate it. I just have no intention of listening to it again.

Chaotic, noisy, and pretentious. Not a fan of musicians who use screeching and crackling noises to try seem edgy, will probably never listen to this album again.

Verrrey boring

My opinion is that this album is terrible.

Boring folk pop with bad vocals.

I don’t like the singing.

boring

Didn’t listen

kinda mid, not huge on the sound or the singing

the internal issues and changes that were happening within the band can be heard through the album

Offensively boring

Just bad. Didn't enjoy it at all

Nope. Don't like vocals.

shitty

Perjantai meni pilalle kun kuuntelin. Tää sai mut katumaan kaikkia yhden tähden arvosteluja, mitä oon tähän mennessä antanut, koska ne on ollu kaikki helvetisti parempia, kuin se mitä just kuulin.

Terrrible

Sorry. Not for me.

J'ai pas tout écouté c'est vraiment trop nul

Not a single song that I liked.

I don't like it. Not one song. I'm so sorry Wilco.

Bravo oscar romeo india november golf. Dull and devoid of any charisma whatsoever, mainly due to monotone vocals. I think a morgue has more personality.

So forgetable, i forgot about it! Stil makes you wonder how can a candle cost £60 plus, what are they putting in them? I guess the value of something is only what people are prepared to pay for it. Well I aint paying for it goddamn it!

painfully boring

I hate it... It was really disgusting!

Um nope... I got a headache listening to the first track

Was not a fan

Siedettävät kivan äänen tuottamisen taidot; heikot ja/tai laiskat biisintekotaidot. Ei pelastavia tekijöitä ensi kuulemalta.

Boring indie Americana. Probably one or two listenable songs. His voice is not to my taste and the 'experimental' sounds feel self-indulgent. Dull for the casual listener.

Oh fuck off. This is like listening to Beck if he ate mad sedatives and sucked even worse than he usually does.

This album evokes no feelings from me. I would Give it no rating if I could because this album is just the nothing coming to take Fantasia away.

Uuugghhh how many more shite albums do I have to be subjected to on this list? Boring. This is boring.

I’m all set. Snooze fest. Wilco isn’t for me. Next album.

I would imagine there would be more tonally rewarding experiences in a house which was haunted, Waiting for those dulcet moans from beyond the grave giving me a richer experience than what was had here. Is Art Rock just an excuse to sing off key and as mundane as you can . Not for me

I really wanted to like this more, but just wasn't doing it for me.

Don’t get it. This is completely average, often tuneless folk/rock masquerading as something more simply by throwing every avant-garde or atonal instrument on top of the simple arrangements. Without the kitchen sink production this would just be a boring acoustic record with whisper croak vocals.

Weird music. Uninspiring singing (pretty bad). Bleh, almost threw up. It was torture to get through this album.

Listening to this actually annoyed me, i really didnt like it. Its too bad because i feel like there was interesting lyrics but i just couldnt stand the music or anything else that was going on.

Way to slow

Mumbling hipsters producing the musical equivalent of a plate of saltine crackers. This album was a boring, monotonous waste of an hour.

couldn’t get past the first song, obscure lyrics i tend to like more straight to the point lyrics, will have to give another try but the first song doesn’t give me much reason to

Boring

Never heard of the band or any of their songs, but I’m intrigued within the first few seconds. Only listened to it once, but kinda sounded a little too indie for my liking. In general: 2/10 My rating 2/10

Somehow with like 10 people in the band it sounds like there's no one playing for a lot of this album. Did not enjoy this at all

Did not finish. I dont know why i hate this so much

Boring

I listened to it and nothing happened. What did I miss?

Kamera was cool but after that the rest seemed like a duplicate

Where did my review go? Basically, this is a boring, unoriginal and lifts so much it’s unbearable to listen to.

Dreary indie lo-fi drudge through someone's freshman college notebook that should have been burned a long time before it was used as inspiration for this turgid collection of half ideas mismatched to another group of half ideas created in the presence of musical instruments via some apparently random process

All the songs sound the same to me. I found it kinda boring overall. Not for me.

Not a fan. Jesus etc. Only favourite.

Not my cup of tea at all. Several songs, especially the first, was literally grating to me. Nasal nosed singer, lots of flat notes, nope

Is not really my bag, it's like folky rock stuff but not cool like Bob Dylan, just a bit soft and shite. Gonna be harsh and go 1/5

Had enough after 30 seconds but I persevered to the end. Was it worth it? Absolutely not. Awful, one-paced, plodding dirges. How did this ever get onto any list that also includes Graceland? Paul Simon should sue the curator.

je me suis fait chier tout le long j'ai rien retenu, album aussi chiant que sa pochette. 1

No puedo con esta música.

Not my music. It did not get me intrested.

Didn’t like it

Unmemorable

อัลบั้มที่เต็มไปด้วยปัญหาประเดประดัง ตั้งแต่ทัศนะคติไม่ตรงกันของสมาชิกในวงจนต้องปลดกลางอากาศ ไปจนถึงความไม่ปลื้มของค่ายเพลงที่ไม่ชอบอัลบั้มชุดนี้ ทำให้ Wilco ต้องย้ายค่ายไปอีก ซึ่งแน่นอนว่าถึงค่ายเก่าจะไม่สนใจ แต่หาได้บดบังความยอดเยี่ยมของเพลงในอัลบั้มที่ทำให้ Wilco ก้าวไปอีกขั้นในการผสมผสานดนตรีทดลอง ดนตรีโฟล์ค จนกลายเป็น Art Rock ที่ทรงพลัง จริงใจ และกลายเป็นอัลบั้มยอดเยี่ยมยืนหนึ่งสำหรับพวกเขาไปในทันที
