New Reviews: Wilco’s Most Lyrically Direct Album Yet
In this week’s slate of Rolling Stone album reviews, Jon Dolan raves about Wilco‘s new disc, The Whole Love, which he says is musically all over the place but totally direct in its lyrical sentiments. Also, Jody Rosen celebrates the “doorstopper 20th-anniversary box set” edition of Nirvana’s landmark album Nevermind, Chuck Eddy pans Chickenfoot’s mostly plodding second record and Alan Light gives high marks to the new comprehensive box set retrospective of Sting’s solo career.
