Hey:

Saw these guys on Fallon the other night and dug them.

Your overall thoughts on this record??

While nothing new, it's a good record. I enjoyed listening to it. Don't know about its shelf life.

Sorry, but you have posted more images than you are allowed to

Why am I suddenly not allowed to edit my own post so I can insert a third image, Solace? Don't tell me you guys started cracking down on number of posts per minute even more.

Neon Indian - Era Extraña

CANT - Dreams Come True

Ladytron - Gravity The Seducer

Hugh Laurie - Let Them Talk

WHAT IS THIS I DON"T EVEN??????//////

 

 

Awesome guys thank you for reading the initial question and answering why you don't like the album. Your words have spoken volumes on the topic.

I already answered why in an earlier post. So yeah, thank you for reading.

It's my 7th favorite Wilco album.

 

Second worst Wilco album.

I still dislike Sky Blue Sky outside of the BT-ST-YHF comparisons. If Sky Blue Sky were my first Wilco album, it would not impress me. Sky Blue Sky sounded like a bad copy of an Eagles record, and much more sedate. There's a difference between simplicity and trite sentimentality. I wish they found a different way to approach this entire album. I wouldn't say that everyone hates it since you obviously like it, but there's some amount of dislike and disapproval. And for anyone that's ever liked music (or any of it for the matter), looking at music objectively is almost impossible.

This thread requires more,... bumps.

Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost

Ugh, extremely hard to google bands names are hard to google.

I actually think Ole sounds better than any of the material put out in the last two studio albums.

There's no way I can distill down to a top 10. But I'm interested in two things from people's lists. Hotel Arizona -- could someone who loves this song help me understand why it's in your top 10? It's never stood out to me as anything very special, but apparently it is to lots of you. What do you like about it?

 

Secondly, it's nice to see Country Disappeared on people's lists. That song gives me chills. It was my request for Solid Sound. I'd love to hear it live -- anyone had the pleasure?

While it's not in my top 10, I admire this song for its culminate ending. There's a sense of resignation and aloofness loosely based on a bad touring experience in Arizona. But the organ and the hiss just drives home the entire package.

Steve Reich and Kronos Quartet - WTC 9/11

Radio Cure certainly gets the shaft from Wilco fans for its intricate beauty. And apparently so does I Am Trying To Break Your Heart according to this thread. What the deuce?

Anyways, these may not be my favorite, but I believe these are the 10 best Wilco songs (pre-The Whole Love).

10 Bob Dylan's 49th Beard

09 Wishful Thinking

08 A Shot In The Arm

07 Sunken Treasure

06 Ashes Of American Flags

05 She's A Jar

04 Misunderstood

03 Poor Places

02 I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

01 Via Chicago

Male Bonding - Endless Now

The Rapture - In The Grace Of Your Love

Let me drop off some band names too like Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo: their ages are well beyond their recognition and they still have some of the best output in the world.

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

The last year has been kind, with the release of the Decemberists’ ‘The King is Dead’, Gillian Welch’s ‘The Harrow & The Harvest’ ...

Wild Flag - Wild Flag

Oh, how I've missed Sleater-Kinney. Welcome back, two thirds of Sleater-Kinney!

Aug has a vastly different perspective than I do on this matter, but it's nice reading a different idea than the usual, "the latte swigging, Animal Collective worshipping, Pitchfork reading hipsters loved all the weird noises on YHF and AGIB, but then dismissed SBS and WTA as 'dad rock' because they weren't 'experimental' enough' conclusion. I don't know maybe I do like 'jams,' I am aware of Phish drummer Jon Fishman's advancements in using a Vaccuum Cleaner as musical instrument. I think may have one Leftover Salmon disc buried in a pile somewhere. Something, something, something String Cheese Incident.

 

--Mike

I definitely don't think those noises are weird: but they're foreign and I like it. I like to think that they helped convey the idea radio interference/static that disrupts communication. I've always thought Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as an album about communication of love and the many barriers in between that model. I hope that makes sense to someone.

And to be fair, I still like some songs from the AGIB/SBS era like like Handshake Drugs, Company In My Back, and You Are My Face. And my opinion comes pretty close to that of Pitchfork's in regards to AGIB and SBS. They already gave I Might a 7 which is fairly decent and good. When they give something an 8 or higher, they want year and or genre defining stuff. It's like learning to accept that Rolling Stones' stars rating has no meaning or that Peter Travers gives everything 4 stars.
