Music Reviews
Editorial Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.153) - Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "Here they swerve into an equally shocking, poetic clarity..."
Spin (p.103) - "Languid melodies run second to weird sound gestures, soft-rock murmur, and aural pocket lint....Tweedy doesn't sound any less sincere than he usually does..." - Grade: B
Spin (p.63) - Ranked #38 in Spin's "40 Best Albums of the Year" - "[T]his is Wilco at their most organic and instinctual..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.161) - "Rarely has a dose of maturity suited musicians the way it has Wilco....[They] have made their most audacious and riskiest record to date....It has sparkling moments galore." - Grade:B
Q (p.119) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[It's] more confident, more coherent, yielding an all-enveloping warmth....Tweedy's songwriting has edged up a gear, too."
Uncut (p.122) - "[I]ts kinetic power has grown over time....In its singlemindedness, its guitar solos, and its melodic anguish, there are heavy echoes of Neil Young..."
Uncut (p.95) - 5 stars out of 5 - "A GHOST IS BORN feels like a band learning to be spontaneous and unencumbered, and coming up with their most engaging album yet."
Uncut (p.74) - Ranked #2 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "An organic and intuitive record....Exhilarating - and we suspect even greater things are yet to come."
Uncut (p.125) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[The album] consolidated Wilco's reputation as both the finest bar band in existence and a bunch of true sonic adventurers."
Magnet (p.112) - "The album's gorgeous and smirky second half rewards fans of Wilco's country and pop..."
The Wire (p.60) - "Musically and lyrically, A GHOST IS BORN is translucent, weightless, supernatural, capable of drifting back and forth across rock'n'roll's state lines at will..."
CMJ - "[With] longer and more experimental songs and tighter, almost McCartney-like hooks..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 - "GHOST is another engrossing, unorthodox record, rattling through styles as deftly and poetically as its chief architect sifts the jottings of his mind."
