Album Notes & Community Reviews

Wilco's eighth album is a confident blend of their experimental art-rock tendencies and their alt-country roots. Opening with the sprawling 'Art of Almost' and settling into warm, melodic pop songs, 'The Whole Love' showcases the band's veteran musicianship. It is a comfortable yet adventurous record from a band at the peak of their stability.
