    The fearless artist trusts his gut, questions everything, including himself and the world he lives in, explores the limits of his guitar and his honesty to land on an all-encompassing opus that is equally undeniable and valiant.

    His kind of solo song is, as its best, intentionally sparse and stubbornly full of sound. No piece is unintentional, no second gets forgotten. It is, perhaps, a bit longwinded—but hasn’t Jeff Tweedy earned the right to be? Besides, it is a wondrous thing to hear someone in their element so completely.

    There’s so much good stuff here that it can take several listens before the less overtly outgoing gems (also including the wounded hush of “Love Is For Love”) emerge from Twilight Override’s mass of music.

    Generous and unguarded, Twilight Override contains multitudes. [Oct 2025, p.133]

    Even with 30 tracks, there is rarely an uninteresting moment across three LPs. Fans of Wilco and Tweedy will lap this up no doubt, and far from being throwaway, there is a sense of urgency and purpose throughout.

    Despite the length—and maybe because of it—this one drew me in and kept me there. It’s warm and casual and unstudied, which is not to say that it’s not technically proficient. It’s a campfire where everyone sings and plays preternaturally well, and it’s easy to linger there right through to sunrise.

    On a straight through listen of all three albums, it’s hard not to hope for songs like “Feel Free” to find their finish. And to that end, the shorter, punchier songs with more than a handful of contributors come out winners here.
