Reviews
Ranked #15 in Magnet's '20 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "This is a deliberately, gloriously messy record, firing off in different directions arbitrarily, and the sequencing seems designed to announce that devil-may-care attitude.", "The Whole Love Mostly Turns Out to Capture Wilco in a Laid-Back Roots-Rock Mode...", Ranked #8 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "THE WHOLE LOVE is the band at its original endearing best...", Ranked #15 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "Embracing power-pop, their riskiest jam in years, and a hushed folk strain that culminated in a new classic...", "With the Whole Love, Wilco Makes Noise-Pop Exciting Again..." -- Grade A-, 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Rising Red Lung' finds Tweedy singing in a near-whisper over a fingerpicked acoustic, while the band floats on sunset clouds overhead.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Capitol City' is a country waltz with bits of Dixieland clarinet, 'Sunloathe' sounds like the Beatles if they were still together in 1974...", "With Laconic Twang, Organ-Driven Garage Pop, and Tempered Balladry.", "The Whole Love Works Best As Aural Comfort Food."
