Music reviews of Being There
Music Review: Almost there
Rating: 3 Stars
You know that Wilco are actually deserving of the cornball alt-country tag they helped pioneer when their sprawling '96 sophomore can take you from a jangled Nebraskan disharmony found in acts like Cursive through Mellencamp's corn-husked embrace, all on BT's first two tracks. The rest follow enjoyably the literate western-alternative-pop suit, neither consistently wowing like future growth would yield, nor boring with rampant pulse-lessness which, in all fairness, could come easy to many other groups doing similar material.
Description of Being There
Wilco's follow-up to A.M. impresses first with its size: 19 tunes fill the double-CD package, and the packaging unfolds like a larger-than-life 1970s-era gatefold album cover. But the love affair with the artwork is short-lived, fading as the music takes center stage, making plain the band's overwhelming stretch into innumerable styles. Jeff Tweedy's love of pop and the mechanics of making pop albums is clear almost immediately, as he and his cohort utilize the studio to create and manipulate undertows and snaky recorded elements throughout many of their tunes (a keyboard touch, a guitar's flair, a cymbal's unexpected crash). There are the plainspoken acoustic numbers, recalling Tweedy's tenure in Uncle Tupelo, and there are also unwinding swoops of tinted, guitar-heavy rock--one of which collapses into chromatic jabs at a piano only to resolve in silence on "Sunken Treasure." Oodles of influences fill Wilco's collective mind, and they're perfectly content to pile the trace elements atop each other and make scrambled pop perfection. --Andrew BartlettGeneral CDs
