As I said in my review of Monkey Business: the philosophy in pop is that the goal is enjoyment and that no method to reach that goal should be looked down upon. And while on MB they did that by fucking ripping everyone ever off; on this record they do that by shamelessly grabbing every new instrument and effect within reach without thinking twice about “morality”. If Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley listened to the status quo which said the electric guitar is morally wrong, rock ‘n’ roll never would’ve existed. Twenty years later those rockers did the same by trying to boycott synths, because they forgot the discussion in the ‘50s and ‘60s, or they thought it was just about electric guitars rather than the fact that new is never automatically bad and in the case of music it’s never bad, unless you’re killing random animals and recording it as music. Fast forward another 30 years and the kids that grew up with synthpop are okay with synths, but “hmmm, let’s think about whether auto tune is morally wrong to use... it’s not like history has shown time and time again that you’re just ostracizing people who make actual original and good music”. A genre is always doomed to regress into elitism in a couple of decades and it will always look like they have valid points, because they pretty much control the status quo at that point. Culture does what it does, and fact is: culture keeps changing as long as scientific innovation keeps existing, and the government is not actively trying to control culture. And the people who take the initiative of making use of that innovation are the ones that make art, and they will inevitably receive hate from the status quo, and receive love from - as Robert Christgau likes to put it - “just plain people”. Okay, but the Peas are not the first one to make use of auto tune. We had Cher, but she used it merely as an effect after making the song; daft punk and Kylie Minogue were probably the first to employ it in a way that it shows that they thought about what the effect did and how it could be used best; T-Pain, Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg used it pretty much only to replace a talk box or because they can’t sing; Uffie was the first to rap to it; Kanye West was the first to make a style of it that is enjoyable enough for a full album (it’s a new genre if you ask me); The Black Eyed Peas were the second to do so. They gave an original spin to it the same way Black Sabbath gave an original spin to Jimi Hendrix’ sound, which is worth a 9/10 in my eyes. The way they transposed Fergie’s vocals is as rock ‘n’ roll as the way Little Richard screams to introduce a solo and then smashes the same chord for 16 times. Of course, Little Richard had more skills then, but relative to the culture then (jazz was the elite then), what he was doing showed little skill. And the same goes for The Beatles - have you read Quincy Jones’ recent interview? Rock ‘n’ roll was a departure from the focus that jazz had on skill and the focus that classical music had on complexity, and I notice people have forgotten that."  [+]  Reply

"Smeared" had a few great songs, but I don't think it was as good as a whole as this one. Sloan is an amazing band and the way each song correlates with the others, from one songwriter to another, has always impressed me so much. And you can definitely hear the cohesiveness of this band on "Twice Removed". There are many standout tracks in here (Penpals, People Of The Sky, Coax Me, Shame Shame, Snowsuit Sound, Before I Do), but what's even more impressive is that the tracks that might be a little less shining on their own all fit well within the flow of the album. And that, my friends, is the sign of a great album."  [+]  Reply

That's not to say there's nothing worth listening to. The opening duo of "I Am My Mother" and "Cruel Country" drip with Americana-style angst, "Tired of Taking It Out on You" and "Falling Apart (Right Now)" serve as poignant reminders of how we (still) only hurt the ones we love, and "Many Worlds" would feel right at home on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (seriously). The album has plenty of quality moments, but I can't help but feel that all this pent-up country aggression would have been better served as a single album of the best stuff and not a 21-track attempt at a magnum opus double LP. This is literally the first day the album is available for listening, and I'm writing this as the closing notes of The Plains fade away into ambient white noise on my second listen. It could grow on me. It's Wilco, so it probably will. But right now...I'm just a little underwhelmed."  [+]  Reply

In my opinion is the story of a community of Eskimos who live in the Arctics. Then come the American colonizers, with their machines and their capitalism. After violent brainwashing manipulations (in tracks 4 and 5) eventually the Eskimos are converted to the capitalist religion (with the prayer "CO-CA COLA IS LIFE!") The story is acted (not simply told) like you are a curious voyeurist, and you can understand it through symbolic sounds (the cry of a baby could be the purity, then there are the american machines in tracks 3 and 4). Every sound has a role in the story, so that when you listen to the machines, the power of their symbolic meaning hits you more than 1000 words) Of course this is just my interpretation, but it works. This is art, and art is open to interpretations. I just care about the fact that if I listen to Eskimo this way..the effect is really powerful, envolving, vivid, like a movie made of sounds! Musically is really appreciating their use of "wind" and other natural sounds, it's at the same time one of the early ambient albums, an art performance, kind of tribal music, a fake documentary, a work of field recordings...! I admit that some parts in tracks 3 4 and 5 are not that vivid, and the album is a bit boring there. That's why my vote is "only" 8,5"  [+]  Reply
