With A GHOST IS BORN, Wilco continues in the melancholy and experimental direction of the preceding YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT. Those intrigued, if not downright fascinated, by Wilco`s transformation from a no-frills alt-country group to an unpredictably inventive avant pop ensemble will find plenty to marvel at on this fifth outing.
"At Least That`s What You Said" begins the album quietly with Jeff Tweedy`s ragged voice singing softly over a gentle piano line, but the song soon gives way to gloriously tattered guitar soloing and full-band backing. "Hell Is Chrome" follows with Tweedy taking on a surprisingly plaintive vocal tone that hearkens back to 1970s soul ballads, while the nearly 11-minute "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" glides along on Krautrock-like keyboards and features more fierce guitar work. This isn`t to say that Wilco has abandoned its sense of melody and pop songcraft, it`s just that the group has found new ways to express these aspects of its sound. A GHOST IS BORN continues Wilco`s remarkable streak of innovative albums and upholds their reputation as one of America`s most adventurous rock bands.
