Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Named in honour of the three-word codes used by short-wave radio operators, Wilco's fourth album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot sounds like a late-night broadcast of some weirdly wonderful pop station punctuated by static and the sonic bleed of competing signals. Songs that begin with simple, elegiac grace--"Ashes of American Flags" and "Poor Places"--end in a cathartic squall of distortion. The results can be initially jarring, but it's these tracks more than the sturdy jangle pop of "Kamera" or "Heavy Metal Drummer" that demand, and reward, repeated listens.

Mixed by studio experimentalist Jim O'Rourke and produced by the band, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot harkens back to a time when the words "pop" and "sonic adventurism" weren't mutually exclusive. The Beatles and Kurt Cobain knew this, and clearly so do Jeff Tweedy and company. --Keith Moerer



Chronique amazon.fr

Le parcours de Wilco depuis des débuts plus orthodoxes jusqu'à cet album "risqué" correspond aussi aux turbulences internes que le groupe a traversées. Et au moment où finalement paraît Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, les 4 garçons en ont déjà un autre en boîte ! Il faut souligner combien, depuis un premier album fondateur centré autour de quelques fondamentaux du rock patrimonial, Wilco n'a jamais proposé deux fois le même disque. Au point de menacer même l'identité musicale du groupe, qui pourrait paraître dispersé devant tant de variété. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot aura, de plus, avant de paraître, été rejeté par la maison de disques. Pas assez commercial… La bonne blague. Alors que ce disque s'ouvre sur un véritable hymne d'amour ("I Am Trying to Break Your Heart") pétri de cordes et de claviers en grappe. Et jusqu'au bout, Jay Bennett relève des défis, proposant des compositions atypiques pour un groupe comme Wilco, avec "Poor Places" ou le surprenant "Radio Cure". Associé au talent de metteur en forme de Jeff Tweedy, cet album délivre le testament ambitieux d'un groupe qui, s'il n'est pas mort, n'est plus le même après le départ de Bennett et de Ken Coomer, le batteur. --José Ruiz

5.0 out of 5 stars Yankee Hotel AWSOME !!, Sep 2 2007
By Jan Farquhar "ikeaton" (abbotsford . b.c.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i bought this album after hearing practically no wilco previous to the purchase and for about 6 months is stayed that way . i listened once , thought "heavy metal drummer" was bland , "war on war" was downright boring and "jesus ect. was the only thing that kept me listening then after hearing the live version of "jesus ect." on a steady basis it brought me back to YHF and thank got it did . this is a brilliant album on so many levels . Frontman Jeff Tweedy's lyrics and the music created by the band work hand in hand creating something all together cohesive which is a rare thing . odd samples , rhythms that can creep up on you and the ability the break through the whole alternative country thing are just a small part of making this a special album . SO BUY IT......NOW......like NOW NOW !

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 STARS - Very Good, But Hardly a "Masterpiece", Jul 21 2007
By B. Keith (Windsor, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This MUCH-hyped disc is in fact very good, and interesting sound-wise, but hardly the "classic" it is portrayed to be ... even here on Amazon.ca.

Wilco's first disc and lastest (Sky Blue Sky) are better, sounding more organic and less constructed and fabricated... If you prefer the latter type of music you may appreciate this disc better than I do.

Best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tweedy's Uncompromising Sonic Beauty, Jul 17 2004
By Juan Mobili (Valley Cottage, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Since so many people have reviewed this album already, I have no illusions about saying something for the first time nor plan on repeating what has already expressed fully and well.
I do still -specially for those people reading this after listening to YFH's follow-up the also impressive "A Ghost Is Born- need to point to a couple of important things that this album show about Wilco's consistently surprising output.
This album clearly demonstrates that Jeff Tweedy's musical vision and commitment to shed songwriting skins is remarkable and an inspiration, specially in the current midst of so many Rock and Pop icons continuing to repeat themselves, who at best flavor their "butter" differently but go on churning the same formula, forgetting to take the kind of risks that made them important in the first place.
Now, unlike many people have mourned earlier, I don't think this album is an absolute departure from what Wilco has been hailed for before. Although this is not "Summerteeth" or "Being There," Tweedy's love for Pop has not been renounced, "Kamera," "Heavy Metal Drummer" and "Pot Kettle Black" proved that.
More than abandoning former song-glories, Tweedy has evolved, has taken all that he can do and pushed it further into a new atmosphere. Where Jay Bennet was so instrumental in what the albums that preceded this one sounded like, Jim O'Rourke is now Tweedy's full musical partner.
And O'Rourke is no Yoko breaking a great band -actually Yoko did not either!- but rather someone who helped Tweedy say well what he was already prepared to say. His production deepens and thrusts these songs to a higher level. " Ashes of American Flags," "I am Trying to Break Your Heart" and "Radio Cure" are magnificent examples of a composer and a producer making music together that reaches farther that either one would have managed on his own.
This is a great album, not the end of a certain Wilco but the evolution of a sound into brave, new and exciting new possibilities.
