lost highway

Getting the real album as opposed to the mp3's from the net did alot more to solidify it. Watching the DVD sent it further home. It is a beautiful, fully realized piece of rock and roll. These guys know what they're doing. There is so much subtlety. You can sit and ask yourself what each person is playing and listen to some headphones and pick all the interweaving arrangements apart. Its great. I've decided anyone who thinks Glenn isn't doing much on this album should start taking drum lessons. Fills on Hate It Here, the beat on the faster part of Side With the Seeds is incredible....

Man I missed Bill Fay. Do you guys think we will be able to access this out of the roadcase w/ the CD?

What do you see, I just see a light.

AM= D Being There= A- Summerteeth= B+ Yankee Hotel Foxtrot= A A Ghost Is Born= A+ Sky Blue Sky= A- Mermaid Avenue will be an incomplete. I know you had a lab partner that affected some of your scores.

As per the topic header: no. As per the drugs thing: Coltrane and Davis both did their most essential work after they quit heroin.

Does someone know where this guys dad lives. Just cause, well.....my Dad's gonna kick his Dad's ass.

I GOT IT!!!!!! I Love music today, and I will never use their services again.

This is the best time I've ever heard them rock Side With the Seeds yet. "Man oh man oh man....we are lucky S.O.B.'s"

Someone explain to me what Mikael Jorgensen says and how he sounds. He's like the new Leroy, silent supporter, man of many skills and zero glamor.

I don't know why I preordered. I had to pay shipping and then stare as my girlfriend bought the 2xLP (which is 180 gram and sounds amazing!) before mine has even arrived and the LP's were right under a rack FULL OF DVD SPECIAL EDITION COPIES! Man I'm going old school when they put out the tentatively titled Brass Hinges in August 08, I am gonna walk up to the record store and say gimmee, pay 18 dollars and then set the slip case aside. UGH.

Who are you attempting to convince here? Yourself, or the people on the board? You might have a very carefully made, and legitimate opinion, you don't have to like the new album. But a good argument in a lit. class or on a music board has evidence. I wouldn't compare YHF to SBS because they're apples and oranges. I also wouldn't reactivate my account just to make simple minded knocks on an album a lot of people happen to be enjoying at this moment. But hey you've already inspired me to use my personal time to reply to you, so I guess thats the internet

Alright Ninjas you're a good mediator. I think my complaint is that there are already a thousand arguments against SBS up here, and they are actual arguments with reasoning and site actual songs or lyrics. Not only that but a one dimensional gripe as a first and second post. It's just rough when a newby has to shit in the punch bowl. Once again I fall back on David Fricke's take on music "If you don't get it.....well that's just kinda too bad."

Maybe his album is okay (not Ram or Plastic Ono Band) but I don't know if he's doing okay.

Dude your first post is a complaint. And your second one is a childish joke on their album that came out yesterday. Why are you here? to bitch? I mean I know these things are a little ridiculous but I get on this thing to talk with people about the band, not to hear some whiners construct banal arguments about how awful the band has gotten.

No, no, no. They've been sans-Jay for years now, if you don't like where its going you should probably find another bands fan board to latch on to. And another thing is when Lennon and McCartney split up Lennon wrote Plastic Ono Band, and McCartney wrote Ram, Wilco wrote A Ghost Is Born and Bennett wrote whats the name of that album? (I know someone on here has got it)

Tweedy solo Acuff Rose edge of the stage no PA, nothin but net.

Oh Analogman, I assume your wisdom encouraged you to leave it at that. Knowing our argument would be almost as predictable as a Grateful Dead argument. Hats off to you. How ya feelin about SBS though?

Man I really hate Phish. I loves me some SBS. I also love the Replacements. I would think the old band threads that lead up to SBS would be: Byrds, Zombies, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and the Band (basement tapes), Bill Fay. You down with any of those dudes? Oh, and Phish suck.

I'm now freaking out because I changed the 2xLP to the CD+DVD, and the SBS preorder site doesn't indicate this on my account. EEEEEEEH!

Man, you should never read a novel then. They grow real slow sometimes. Okay, that was shitty. I'll stick with my David Fricke quote "If you don't get it, thats just kinda too bad." There are some stunning new ones from: Feist, Blonde Redhead, and Low if you're looking to spice up your summer listening.

Does he sound like Kermit the Frog? What does he say?

Historically Brendan Canty and Chris Green have done everything on high end digital. (all the Burn to Shine Documentaries)

Wow, this review is funny because I agree with the writer that the album is great. Yet, I whole heartedly disagree with most of what they say (especially the rampant YHF, AGIB bashing).

Two imaginary dollars on What Light.

Have Wilco ever come up with a better song than "Impossible Germany"? For the first three minutes, it's a mysterious soft-rock ballad with jazzy chords filtered through stoner-country guitar licks, like some lost outtake from Steely Dan's Katy Lied. Jeff Tweedy mumbles about isolation in his most beaten-up-by-life voice. Then, in the final three minutes, it builds into a twin-guitar epic, with Tweedy in the left speaker reinventing Fleetwood Mac circa Bare Trees, and Nels Cline in the right speaker reinventing Television circa Adventure. There's no noise, none of the spazzed-out distortion of
