conscious and deep. For those of you who don't get the underlying message here, just look around at the state of things. Encapsulating the division, racism, religious intolerance and general hate among many. With an overarching theme of emotional lability (from sadness and depression at the injustices being committed every single day, to the bursting anger at what is happening), to the need to step back and try to commentate on the state of things as a way to separate from the toxic nature of social discourse these days. Amazing band who is unconcerned with going in a direction that doesn't immediately grab you with hooks and superficial charm. This one will grow on you.

Zzzz. Insert poop emoji

Excellent Effort. I enjoy the subtle, almost hidden, complexity that each band member brings to the songs. For me this is craftsmanship and no one member is specifically outdoing the other, they all do what is right for the mood of the song. This is a good return to form. I cant wait to hear the songs live.

Boo-Hoo. Aww...the ADHD generation can’t handle anything that isn’t instantly gratifying and hook-laden...how cute these kids are. When you’re mature enough for actual real music that pulses and glows with resonance and truth, come back to this album. Maybe, in say, 10 years when your training wheels come off...

Great album. No don’t listen to the reviewers here. Give this record a chance if you are a fan of music with guts. Save the arena rock for Slash or go play yankee hotel over and over. Bye bye

So far so good. I hope this can cut our summer teeth. Need to reboot here

Warm III. Absolute fan of this band since YHF. I get super-pumped for the new releases, and just like the last one, a complete letdown. While some reviewers here missed it on Star Wars, this album is devoid of hooks or anything upbeat for that matter. (I recommend people wishing for that to go back and listen to SW again and leave this thing be). These songs could’ve been nurtured a little more in my opinion and brightened up in the mix. Seemed like this material was just leftovers from the Tweedy solo records and they wanted to get back to the road and slapped together this um, piece together in a flash. So when the next album is due out, I’ll cool my jets and cross my fingers it’s not Warmest or Schmilco II. LET NELS ROCK

Ouch. Used to love them years ago. There last bunch of albums seem monotonous and dull. Keep checking back to see if they have a 2nd life. That may be hopeless. Looks like some like it so I guess that’s good for them.

Ode to zzzzzzz. I’m sorry, but this album slogs along at an unbearable (lack of) pace. I wish Jeff Tweedy would sing and not just mumble his way through every song. Why bother making this kind of music anymore?

Come on guys! WTH!. This and their last couple of releases are really grating and hard to enjoy. This whole downtempo/lo-fi stuff they've been putting out lately is just not cutting it for this Wilco fan AT ALL! Come on guys, what's up with that? We all know you can do better! I don't know if Jeff is just in a rut or what, but man, they need to get their mojo back or something. PASS on this one. Very disappointing!

Wonderfully Weird. This is Wilco's weirdest record since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and that is high praise. YHF is still my favorite Wilco LP, and it might retain that spot, but this one will rank right up there with it. I love all Jeff's stuff (especially WARM), but I find that the more eclectic material has a longer shelf life. For example, I'm a little burnt out on Being There, but Sunken Treasure is eternal. I think this one will stay with you a long, long time.

Ehhh.. 0-3 in their last three records. Songs are iffy, this acoustic lo-fi thing is way old, and every song from their last three albums is interchangeable. Everything sounds the same. It's just me, I guess. If you dig it, more power to you.

It takes several listens. The album grew on me after several listens, their best since The Whole Love.

Wilco has been mailing it in for awhile. Jeff Tweedy gave into age, put on a ton of weight, somewhere in the mid-2000's. This album, like their last several, seem like a band that is either coasting, or creatively bereft of ideas. And to me, that comes down to JT. He needs to find a way to get back to that crazy angry guy that was engine for much transcendental rock music over his first 20 years. Lately, it sounds like a guy fighting off insomnia. And naming an album Star Wars, whether its "ironic" or not, is just a total cop out creatively.

What happened to Wilco... Yikes. Ode to Joy is rythemless and rudderless, just like every album since Jay Bennett left the group after YHF. One or two decent songs stand out only because the rest are just so utterly forgetable. Bands evolve, yes, but this is so far from the terrific music Wilco made 15-20 years ago they should change the name of the band. I have tickets to an upcoming show, this will be deleted the morning after.

Let it Grow. As has been the case for multiple recent Wilco releases, such as Star Wars, I needed 3 or 4 listens for me to appreciate what is on offer here. I have now grown to love this album, as my expectations for upbeat, catchy songs has been replaced by the reality of what this album provides. There are a couple duds IMO, most notably "Citizens," but the rest of the tracks I have found something to relate to, and thouroughly enjoy.

Yes!. Yes!

Underrated. Such a great band with amazing songs. Nice comeback.

Not sure yet. I’ll give it a few more listens but it’s kind of dull. Jeff Tweedy’s recent solo album was great so I’m not sure what’s going on with this one. YHF raised the bar so high, you know?

Best intentions.... Every time I sit down to listen, I start out with the best of intentions, but ultimately my mind wanders and I start thinking about other things. It's spacious and pretty, sure, but it's also a snooze. Flowers are beautiful,as well, but sitting and staring at them gets boring after awhile.

Huh?. This is garbage.

What happened to Wilco. What's happened to them. They were great and now ....this!! Almost as bad as Tweedy's solo album. Oh well!

So Boring!. I am a big Wilco fan, I gave this a try, and then gave up. Slow, boring, songs.

What happened?. It’s like they aren’t even trying anymore. They basically benched Nels and went with a rendition of repetitive depressing dribble. I really was hoping the band would return to greatness but this may be the worst album yet, and that’s saying something after Star Wars and Schmlo or whatever that album was called. Is this the same band that made sky blue sky and yankee foxtrot?
