    Should Wilco call it quits?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Before you all impale me, hear me out:

     

    1. The general consensus is that AGIB is not quite as good as YHF, and SBS is not quite as good as AGIB. (personally I agree)

     

    2. Not everything can be a masterpiece (as is YHF) and AGIB is still a very good record. SBS is a good record taken on its own account BUT it does represent a 3-record-long downward trend.

     

    3. As far as the new record is concerned there are several possibilities: a. the trend continues with something not as good as SBS b. something about equal to SBS c. something better than SBS but not another masterpiece, or d. another masterpiece.

     

    I would suggest that if the new album is indeed choice "a." Wilco should break up before ruining their legacy completely. If it is "b." the same would probably hold true. If it is "d." then they should break up because it's better, as the old cliche goes, to quit while you're ahead. Leaving "c." which is in my humble opinion the only way they can continue without losing...well, something. My interest at least.

     

    I just think that they've made a damn a good run of it thus far and would hate to see my favorite band slip into mediocrity. It would cheapen their legacy.

    I don't personally agree with any of your points. (I put AGIB and ST about YHF, you could add BT in there most days too. Haven't noticed a downward trend. And they can just make a good album, like their others in the fact that they're really hard to compare. I need them all. Did you know that in addition to being able to battle each other, Wilco albums can also be listened to?)

     

    And I don't see why in the world you would want a band to quit for any reason unless you're in it. When a band I like stops making albums that I like, I stop buying them.

     

    Maybe you should join Wilco. Then you can save them from themselves...

    Just read the story. Plenty of people have wanted this for a while. Me included. He was rotten last year. The story goes on to say that he wants to go to Tampa. And quotes him as saying that he isn't close to being done yet. I'm glad to see the Tigers making a move.

    He wants to go to Tampa? Good luck. There's no room on the roster and no money. I'd rather have Burrell anyway.

    this has been happening since it came back from cancellation

    Yes. I loved the show, watched the DVD's religiously, watched in on Cartoon Network. Then it came back and stopped watching it after a couple months.

     

    This was funny:

    Another point, is the band being either hypocritical or ignorant here in that they're (or the filmmakers) marketing this film as being shot in HD, and thus misleading people, but they don't see the point of releasing "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" in BR?

    They're apologising for it being shot in HD instead of real film.

    I started getting Blender after ordering some Wilco stuff off of MusicToday.

    Me too. Thought it was weird. Probably musictoday, not wilco.

     

    I get this and Rolling Stone for free.

     

    Despite what people say, I've found Rolling Stone to be really good recently.
