Please listen to the album before writing it off. No one cares that you dislike the album art in the first place.

If the album is terrible, it will probably be the worst album cover ever... Someone on Stereogum is calling the album Ishtar...LOL

Im tired of the teasing, I just want to know when they will start streaming it already. Kind of like what Radiohead did. Basically said "Hi..our album is done, will leak it in about 7 days. If you want to give us money for it, go ahead. The physical product will be out in a few weeks" All bands should do this.

I wonder if Maders will hang the album up in their restaurant..

I like the Neko Case cover, but I don't find it nearly as absurd or abstract as a camel with a party hat in front of a german restaurant.

based on the shoot photos. I bet the store window picture will be on the back of the CD. 6 Empty Chairs...6 Empty suits..

If I have one complaint, is that the picture looks too staged. I think it would have been better without the wall, so it just looked like a Camel in the middle of the parking lot having a party. He looks a bit caged in.

the more I think about this cover, the more I laugh, and the more I enjoy it. One things for sure, it's definitely going to get people talking about the album.

Wow Thats kind of cool I guess. They must really like that restaurant

you can't be serious....

Ok so then how does the camel fit in?

The font is a total 70s throwback. It looks like the font on a bad folk record.

So...let me try to analyze this... Wilco didn't show up to their own party? The camel represents the band as an object? Which has been deserted by it's own members... I have no clue if its suposed to mean anything..

my heart still belongs to those sad, scary, and mysterious marina city towers on the cover of YHF.

i don't know, I guess it will have to sink in. I like the idea about it being one of the bad 70s album covers. I understand it's intentionally bad, but im sure more then a few people wont get the joke. Im just glad it doesn't say Wilco (The Album) on it. I like the Font..

WTF? Awesome?

LOL, well is it any good then?

LOL

wow..you took my original idea and totally ran with it. Awesome work. I wish I could parody so well...

It is strange that were a little over a month away with no artwork, but its not unheard of for bands to send promos without artwork or with alternate artwork. I used to work at a radiostation, and I have several promos that not only have different or no artwork, they also have different tracklistings. My prize is a promo of OK Computer which came in a paper sleeve with alternate art work, as well as a CD with alternate disc art. (same tracklisting though)

I was born in Royal Oak. Wish I still lived there...

No Fesit is already old news. The next album gets a 6 tops. Looking forward to them making a joke about Apple and VW getting together for a new song..

So...if Pitchfork gives this album a good review will you all love them again?

you forgot my song Via Cook Courtroom..its back a few pages.

Personally, after the drug filled paranoia of YHF and the chaotic recovery depression of GIB, SBS came as a breath of fresh air. Don't get me wrong I still love those albums, but I was kind of ready for Wilco to make a more straight forward record after such an intense amount of music. When I heard "Maybe the sun will shine today" for the first time. I cracked a smile, sat down with a cup of coffee (it was Sunday Morning, i remember) and soaked in the warmth. The album may not be as thrilling as the previous two, but it makes up for it in true heart. For once the sonic walls that Jeff had p
