    An absolutely wonderful album. Subtle and subconscious hooks galore. Easily one of the best of the year. So good in fact, you almost forget about Wilco. Thom Yorke should be taking notes.

    This album is my favorite Jeff Tweedy work since Sky Blue Sky. It is best listened to in vinyl record form. It has twenty songs, which can look overwhelming on your ipod, but I have found that on vinyl if I only have time to sit down and listen to a five song side, each side is crafted as a pleasing unit.

There is a progression in the album (it grows simpler and more direct as the album moves along) that you notice when you take your time to listen to it all the way through. I've listened to this album an almost unhealthy amount at this point, and for me, there isn't a throw away song on it, so I'm giving it a rare 10.… Expand

    This album stands up to anything Jeff Tweedy has recorded with/as Wilco. I'd venture that that certainly involves as, if not maybe the most, impressive catalog by any working/living artist on the planet (Yo La Tengo is up there too). It's a great traditional monster double album, eclectic, sprawling & impressive in both it's depth & breadth.

Since it's release there have been 3 more songs from these sessions that have popped up (1 as a B-side & 2 on soundtrack) & supposedly there is a whole other album's worth, mixed & ready to go- after the next Wilco is released. I can't wait. What an incredible debut!!!… Expand

    Tweedy takes his Wilco sound and goes in a fun direction with subtle hooks and catchy beats. His son may not be the greatest drummer in the world yet, but his dad clearly enjoys playing with him.

    Listened in short bursts, or perhaps sitting on a porch while the autumn sun sets, Sukierae shines as Jeff Tweedy's best work in years, and a masterclass in his characteristic songwriting. [Dec 2014, p.89]

    There are sparks of new wave brightness and Beatles lustre, ensuring an album about uncertainty and dejection remains beautiful throughout.

    As a whole, the album is charming, but deeply moving. The instrumentation is often simple, as are the lyrics, and the result is a rewarding, slow-building work of serious depth, and a long overdue solo debut for one of the genre’s finest songwriters.
