underrated effort by them. playing right now: Summer Teeth. Trying to remind myself of how amazing Wilco used to be. ::Raises shield to fend of Sky Blue Sky lovers::

I gave it a 4. Sorry, just not enough there that I like. "Either Way" is nice, "On and On and On" is good. "You Are My Face" is the lone great track for my money, and even that pales in comparison to the Wilco of yore for me (it's no "She's a Jar", "Summer Teeth", "Misunderstood", "Poor Places", "Wishful Thinking" etc.) It also has my least favorite Wilco song EVER on it ("Shake it Off"). All in all a pretty dissapointing outing. with time, this record MIGHT work it's way upto a 6 or 7, but I never see it reaching the 8 or 9 range for me.

Peter: Louis, This steak is rather shallow and pedantic...

I'm going with YHF ST AGIB BT AM SBS

Oh, wow. Well, I'm sure I'll manage to carry on some how.

After my initial dislike, I think I'm going to give the record till the release date to grow on me before I write it off completely.

Well, I have a sinus infection right now. Maybe that's why I'm reminded of it. And yeah...I mean...seriously. I don't know. I'll see you guys in 2-3 years when Wilco seven comes out. Peace.

Oh Jesus heh. I should've known this would open me up to tons of dissing. But who cares. heh...I still have my opinion and there's nothing people can do to strip me of that, and it seems to bother a few members.

Yeah I love Wilco. If I did I wouldn't have blown like 500 dollars on Wilco stuff over the years. Albums, side projects, and concert tickets out of my poverty (I'm a college student...yeah money's rough.) I wouldn't have walked 5 miles with a sinus infection to see Wilco at Jazz fest a few years ago. I wouldn't have waited on a street alone where I could've gotten mugged just to meet the band. I LOVE Wilco. But I do not love this record. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as an asshole; I'm kind of bitter about this record. Maybe I don't have a right to be, but I am.

My favorite songwriters are Lennon, McCartney and Bob Dylan. All three have made albums I don't like, and songs I think are terrible. The fact that you don't like a single record a band makes doesn't mean you hate them.

Exactly. I think this record sucks. I'm entitled to this opinion, and it's kind of irritating that the Church of Tweedy doesn't want any dissenting opinions. I'm not saying it sucks to piss people off. I'm really sad that the record does nothing for me, that I waited three years for something sub-Wilco. And that's my right to feel that way, and to express that opinion. And I do not hate Wilco for the record; I've spent hours of my life trying to turn people onto them who hadn't heard of them. I've bought friends Wilco records as presents before. I have like 3 Wilco based AIM handle

So the fact that I don't like it makes my opinion invalid. I'm not drinking the kool-aid this time around.

Oh Jesus; grammar police. I'm hung over...give me a break.

I'll be honest. I can't like this record. I really kind of hate it. I just feel so dissapointed. Every Wilco album post-A.M. was a top album of the year for me. Wilco 1996-2004 meant the same thing to me as the great album runs of R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Talking Heads, etc. Every album they did (including the firs Mermaid Avenue) in this period was on my top 10 list for the end of the year. This is just...so below Wilco to my ears. There's not a song on this record that I'd say is as good as anything on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or Summer Teeth. Past Wilco records have evoked great artists l

Cd-singles are a lot less prevelant than they were ten or fifteen years ago. They've been replaced by a large degree by promos, and i-Tunes pre-album releases.

To the people who say Wilco don't do singles: "Box Full of Letters", "I Must Be High", "Casino Queen", "Outtasite", "Monday", "Hotel Arizona", "Can't Stand It", "A Shot in The Arm", "Nothingsevergonnastandinmyway(Again)", ""Kamera", "War on War", "Jesus Etc;", "Heavy Metal Drummer", "I'm a Wheel" and "Theologians" were all released as promo singles. Sky Blue Sky will definitely have a single of some sorts.

I will with hold my criticisms until I hear the album in it's entirety. Though I'm not pleased with the new tracks ("Walken" in particular) I will give Wilco the benefit of the doubt. It's only fitting for a band that's given so much to me.

Every album is mixed to tape. It's sort of a superstitious thing. You see, analog tape machines are very easy to come by, and they are also very physical. If the digital copies get deleted/ wiped (or God forbid a technological holocaust where all computers stop working) They could still have copies of the albums on tape. These aren't used for transfers though, the signal to noise ratio on protools is just so much higher than that of analog tape. That's why no matter what, remasters of old records never sound as clean as a record done. Sure you can remove all of the hiss, but it results

I wonder if Adams kept a reciept when he bought his own hype. He may want a refund.

It's fun I guess.. I just think Radio Cure is on a completely different artistic plane, but that's me.

To each his own: Should I prepare your boat to set sail captain? Granted I still have hope. Remember, "Radio Cure" was once "Corduroy Cuttoff Girl".

I hope to hell I get a pony for Christmas.

My dad personally has gotten into a lot of stuff from me. It's just another name for... YACHT ROCK! Let's set sail...

I'm nervous they've degenerated to complete dad Rock (No offense to the dads here) and will start touring with Billy Joel and Hall & Oates.
