Ode to Joy will sound familiar to anyone whos closely followed the bands catalog over the years, taking the best elements from past Wilco records and stringing them together into something fresh. You can hear the fragile beauty of A Ghost Is Born (Bright Leaves) and feel that records hair-raising guitar turns (We Were Lucky). Other tracks recall the warmth of Sky Blue Sky (Love Is Everywhere), the pop-rock ease of Wilco (The Album) (Everyone Hides), and the moody dream state of earlier records like Summerteeth (Hold Me Anyway, An Empty Corner).
