I agree a lot with some of you, I disagree with some of you also...
Negative:
I can't stand I'll Fight, and I just am not really feeling One Wing that much.
You and I and You Never Know are very 'meh', nothing too special.
Positive:
Really love Deeper Down, Solitaire, Everlasting, Sonny Feeling.
I like BBN a lot, don't think I like it is as much as you guys yet though
(the song) is so catchy, i really like it, even if it is a little goofy.
I am hating all of this hate for Country Disappeared! I instantly loved it and is currently one of my favorite tracks.
Overall I like it a lot.
Ill Fight and One Wing are my 2 favorite songs on the record so far
-
Wilco and DMB are nothing alike...not even a little.
-
Hmmm, right now:
Theologians
Shot In the Arm
Say You Miss Me
-
Too much overanalyzing going on...maybe its just a collection of songs the band liked.

Well put. Look, if we want to broaden this, the 'rock' records that get remembered are the groundbreaking ones. The ones that critics salivate over are the ones that try something different. You can write/record all the lovely songs that you want but they won't be noticed in the same way, especially on boards like this where every last note is dissected. The YHF lovers will not love this (very fine) record as much for that very reason. This record will, I suspect, draw in a broader audience, and with that the YHF lovers will run for the hills. Sad, but true. We all defend our favourite bands, but come on, who hasn't felt that feeling of 'betrayal' when your best friend's aunt says they like the new Wilco record. Kind of cheapens it doesn't it and makes you want to like it less, to move on to something more challenging. You can't have it both ways. Radiohead remain at the top of their game because they'll never risk stepping out into the mainstream, compromising what they/their fans wanr them to be. For Tweedy, family man, demons behind him, it's a career now and some old fans will be shed along the way. Mixed opnion therefore is inevitable/unavoidable.
I disagree totally about Radiohead, and I know I'm not alone here. Not everyone thinks they make great music. In my opinion they sacrificed songwriting and good tunes for the sake of being "experimental" or "weird." And thats a shame. They used to be a great band.

Suh-weet...I'll have to keep an ear out! What number is that station?
101.7 , I heard it on Paul Driscoll's show.
-
WHICH song exactly?!?
You Never Know
-
All artists borrow from other artists, its not something bad. Anyway, I heard this song on WFNX in Boston last night.
-
I enjoy SBS, also surprised at some of the hate on here. Its just a collection of good songs. Not every album has to be "experimental."
-
Gets better with each listening, I'm quite happy.

Tweedy responded to the suit with a statement to Paste, saying:
"I know exactly as much as everyone else does. I've read the news and I honestly have no idea what these claims are based on. It was such a long time ago. Aside from everything else, I'm being sued for not paying someone for appearing in a movie I didn't produce. Go figure. I am truly sad it has come to this. I am equally convinced, however, that I have done nothing wrong and that this will be handled fairly and swiftly."
-
All artists "borrow" from other ones. I can cite plenty of instances of the Stones or even The Beatles were they borrowed as well. In most cases, Zeppelin made it there own. I mean, Whole Lotta Love doesnt sound at all like Dixon's version. Usually it was a case of not changing the lyrics enough...I mean, how many blues songs have nearly identical lyrics?
-
Besides the fact that they both covered You Shook Me, Truth and LZ I dont sound very similar. Lots of those 60's artists were very jealous of the success Zeppelin eventually had. Wether it be Keith Richards or Pete Townsend, you can find plenty of jealousy from interviews they gave back in the day.
-
Theologians is one of my favorite Wilco songs. I dont know why its in the overrated category.
-
I think this record is a little uneven, but not nearly as bad as some people here are saying. There are 4 or 5 songs on this record I really like, its solid. Not every album can be amazing. I do agree Z is the better albim...personally I've been listening to Okonokos a lot recently.
-
Probably listened to Being There the most recently, followed by A Ghost is Born and Sky Blue Sky.
