Customer Ratings & Reviews

21 years and 9 albums the band is as fresh as ever. I keep waiting for the day to say Tweedy and Wilco are slipping, and thankfully I don't have to.After Yankee Hotel and A Ghost Is Born, Wilco has had some high expectations to live up to. Star Wars doesn't disappoint.

Showing the world how it's done, Tweedy and company deliver a solid, rockin-fun album.

I played it from my mom last night and she loved it. She doesn't even like rock music.

Another great wilco CD. Fans of this band will not be disappointed.

Wilco has become so comfortable with their sound. It shows in this album, it sounds so organized yet freewheeling. This is another album that gets better with each listen. I highly recommend this one!

For years, Wilco albums has been one of those bands that constantly pops up under my Recommendations (they still do), but I'd honestly never taken the time to sit down and listen to an album. After Jeff Tweedy released his first solo record, I thought he'd parted ways with the band and that they wouldn't be making music anymore. Then, when 'Star Wars' got released for a limited free digital release, and I decided it was time to get my first Wilco album. I mean, ain't nothing cheaper than something free, right? I'm a big fan and supporter of indie music. Granted, it seems like it gets harder and harder to define what's "indie" anymore, but what I like is bands that aren't afraid to experiment with new ideas or challenge our perception of genre labels. I think that's why The Internet has been trying to get me to listen to Wilco for all these years. And, after having listened to 'Star Wars' several times, I can see why. Being my first Wilco album, I had no idea what to expect. As overused a term as "indie" is, "alternative" is an even more overused term when describing music. What was "alternative" when the term was coined isn't "alternative" anymore, so I try to avoid using it whenever possible. However, seeing as how Wilco began back in 1994, I think it's an appropriate use of the term. Tweedy & Co. definitely push the "alternative" envelope by experimenting with non-traditional sounds and elements into their music. They are clearly a very diverse and talented group of musicians, and it's no wonder they've been as successful a band as they've been. While this is my first Wilco album, it's hard for me to pinpoint any particular songs I can identify as my favorite. "Random Name Generator" will often pop into my head at random times, so it's an easy go-to earworm. But will this be my only Wilco album? Probably not, unless I decide not to sit down and listen to any of the rest of their recordings. One down, eight to go....
