Groupe inconnu. Ah non en fait, le générateur m'a proposé 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' il y a 5 jours, que je n'avais pas apprécié (noté 2/5) mais ... je l'avais déjà oublié ! Heureusement qu'on peut consulter son historique. Ce second album est un concentré d'ennui profond, il ne présente absolument rien d'original. Le tout sur plus d'1 heure 15 ! Je n'ai pas pu aller au bout. J'ai compris assez vite pourquoi la maison de disque l'a proposé à moitié prix : c'était le seul moyen de le vendre ! Jamais plus. =>1/5

So apparently indie country is a thing - wish it wasn't...

Bisschen lash nicht mein ding

I wish I had more thumbs so I could give this album 4 thumbs down

This wasnt great. We stopped at about 3 songs in, too whiney and we werent in the mood for it.

Lazy album and dire lyrics.

I decided to listen to this in my morning run. It outlasted the run. Then I kept listening to it during my drive to work. It outlasted that as well. Then I had to drive product to a client. I put on random shuffle instead of this because anything is better than continuing through the 57 flavors of beige.

Please shut up and leave me alone. No, seriously, SHUT UP. I don't know what you think went wrong in your life but it's just not all that interesting. And yes, every song sounds exactly like something I've heard before a long time a go. Now please shut up.

This was just terrible.

pmo so bad sorry

157/1089 - It's almost listenable but his voice sucks too much. Flat and monotonous. The instrumentals also aren't nearly as interesting as on the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album. Very forgettable. Thankfully there's only one more album with them and it's with that country guy with the strong accent so it might sound a bit different. Non-list recommendation: Jamiroquai - Traveling Without Moving (1996) The last of the initial acid jazz/nu-disco sound of Jamiroquai (Toby Smith and Stuart Zender are largely integral to this) with great hits like "Virtual Insanity" and "Cosmic Girl."

Boring and over long. Par for the course for Wilco.

Good god I cannot stand country and their bullshit baby whiny fucking voices.

Huoh 1h 17 min chilling wibing sääntöä…

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long

Wilco's "Being There" cover art is a visual disappointment that fails to capture the album's musical complexity. The design feels uninspired and forgettable, lacking the creative energy that defines the record's sonic landscape. The cover seems like an afterthought - bland, generic, and completely disconnected from the album's intricate musical themes. It misses an opportunity to visually represent the album's rich, experimental nature and the band's innovative spirit. The artwork appears flat, unimaginative, and does little to entice potential listeners or reflect the nuanced musical journey within. For an album that represents such a significant artistic leap forward, the cover is frustratingly pedestrian and utterly unremarkable. Album artworks rated: 25/1001 Music's fine tho

Yikes... did not like this one, made it through the whole thing though

Musics worst crime on itself - the 80 minute CD. These guys need an editor / producer who can say NO. Actually, 80 mins had nothing to do with it. I was well bored before then. Which is weird, because I have heard Wilco before an enjoyed them.

I’ve never really listened to Wilco before, but thanks to 1001 Albums generator I now know they are completely shit.

Of all the boring bands Wilco is one of the boringest

Dullsville.

Boring whiny shite.

Hardly anything special or noteworthy about this album.

Wow, this was a slog! Its not that is was an awful album or a genre that I don’t like, it was just such a vanilla, boring album! This should be right in my wheelhouse, guitar based rock, but it was such a boring album. Sorry, it might be amazing, but it was lost on me. Vanilla shite

Seichter alternative Country.

I can see why people would like this, it’s just not for me

Boiler plate indie folk and alt rock, there's literally nothing special or interesting about Wilco, and I'm already dreading the time I'll have to listen to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot again because of this god forsaken list.

wish you were here instead of me

Oof. I guess it’s for someone. Songs sound really low effort to me. They’ve mastered the country/honky-tonk meander and songs take an eternity to get going. No hooks. Had to speed run this one bc it’s over an hour. Kinda liked what the opener was setting-up but I won’t be taking any of these tracks with me.

Too mellow for me

After what seems like weeks of listening to the same album every day, this list really does show it's bias towards "classic/alt/psychedelic rock with a touch of country" albums. And here's another one to throw on the pile.

I sleep

1. Not into the country vibes

Пиздец скукотища... я не понимаю... Окей, чуваки намешали в кантри (фолк) всякий разных глючных эффектов местами, перегрузы, педальки, какофонию, но всё равно: звучит ну прям очень по-старинному. Такой альбом надо было выпускать вот примерно в одно время с Битлами и Роллингами. Там он мог бы составить хоть какую-то конкуренцию. Здесь же... блин, мне настолько давно не было настолько противно от музыки. Просто пиздец. Я почитал, чел сначала 30 песен записал и хотел все выпустить. 30 блять песен!

по ходу альбома думал, какие треки я бы убрал, чтобы было не затянуто. остался ер

This is what Satan would play for me in hell

No good

I can not get on board with this. Lazy vocals, drab music. Just not good.

When I got the album Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo, I thought it would sound like how this Wilco album does. Man, is this slow, boring, obnoxiously twangy, and way too long. After a while, I started to become numb. Glad they moved away from the alternative country stuff as they went on, as this certainly didn't do any favors for what I thought of Wilco.

Tröttsamt gubbträsk…

I don’t care for it. Nothing special, nothing caught my attention.

Was not the vibe for me

Täytyy myöntää, etten jaksanut juuri kuunnella. Oli juu kitaraa ja vähän folkia ja indietä ja ihan kivaa mutta yhdentekevää, ainakin ekalla kuuntelulla. Tokalla vois olla mahdollinen kakkonen?

These guys have to learn that singing about greedy goblins stealing your gold stash is way more interesting than whining about leaving your girlfriend back in Tennessee or some shit. What I'm trying to say is, that this is boring and goes on for an insanely long time. Almost 80 minutes with next to no diversity. Pain.

Alternative music flirting with country makes me uncomfortable

This is one of those albums to judge your friends by. I for one, don't get it, and don't get those who do.

Die 2. Platte von Wilco, die ich durchskippen muss, ganz durchhören (77 Minuten, was für eine Frechheit bei dieser banalen Grütze!) kann und will ich das nicht. Anzahl von Wilco-Alben, die in dieser Liste sein sollten: 0.

Soooooo boring

Not a fan at all. This is the first album that I almost stopped listening to.

Countryish meh, nothing about this album stands out or excites me, nor do I find it pleasant to just have in the background, I would prefer silence to this mediocrity

blechj

Reminds of randy Newman’s retarded son…music was super boring. How do these guys have fans!???

Besides one or two good songs, a long boring album with no personality. I know that Wilco influenced some new bands that I like, but I didn't see anything here.

Didn't like. Everything sounded the same and it was too slow paced for me.

One of my all-time favorites.
