Truth. AGIB is pretty overblown on VC because face it,... we love jams. VC is the only place on the web I know that loves AGIB so much that some people consider it better than YHF. VC loves jams, and those same people run to the defense of SBS. Whether these are good jams doesn't matter because most VC fans will swoon over Nels Cline playing. Most of the jams during this era felt pretty drowsy. They're detailed, but not nuanced. Wilco (The Album) had plenty of nice details, and much less in terms of jams. The return to less jam-oriented songs helped. I still hear people complain abo

Yes! Haha.

Wilco - The Whole Love I'll do it if no one else does it. I'm pretty sure I'm posting for like 1000 others in here at the least.

After my third listen, I'm beginning to believe that Wilco really made a Yo La Tengo record, and it sounds awesome. You can hear the blistering guitar solos, the great melodies, and even the abundant organ. I know someone posted a link to Spin beforehand that compared One Sunday Morning to Night Falls On Hoboken, and it kind of makes sense. I always had the Yo La Tengo theory after seeing the tracklisting and remembering they had toured together and even did Hanukkah together (kind of). Capitol City and Standing O don't sound awful; they sound like good pop songs. This feels like an expa

It did come out, about 9 to 11 years after Being There and Summerteeth came out. And I still don't find it great because of the grating Eagles era rock. Some of it still shined like Side With The Seeds, but I still find Impossible Germany impossibly worn and stretched, even with all the talent Nels poured into the song. Nels, you're awesome, but, you can't salvage it. The entire album is like sitting in the back of a car through a 4000 mile trip over an unchanging canvas of grass. Yes, there's plenty of details, just very uninteresting and bland details.

You know, you're very good at making reductionistic observations. It's like, they all boil down to a,... generalization! If you keep this up, NME will hire you in no time!

They Might Be Giants - Join Us Ugh, this has been so awful that I need to was it out of my system. Megadeath - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? Ah. The National - Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers Much better. Crystal Antlers - Two-Way Mirror

Are you trying to make a point or are you just rolling words around into a sentence and adding references to them?

Wilco decides to say that the obscure bands never get played on the radio (commenting on themselves at that point). It's not clever. And Wilco knew and still know their audience. And then they decide to try and sweep the serious tone under a joke but don't commit fully to any good position (sarcastic, joking, serious, apathetic). Maybe if they applied a focus into one of those or perhaps another direction, it would work. It barely even fits into the themes on A Ghost Is Born. But now that they've taken a lesson or two from Yo La Tengo, successfully pulled off Wilco (The Song), and craft

The Late Greats has always felt out of place and kind of gimmicky. I prefer to be delusional and believe that Less Than You Think is the ending track of AGIB.
