I still don't understand why you felt the need to comment. However, all of your comments that I've seen are negative to some degree.

I just felt like the review read like an 8.0 at least (Even better than some records rated that high) The only somewhat critical comment was the back and forth nature of Jeff's narration, but this is something that he has always been praised for. I think Pitchfork gives high ratings to bands that are very up and coming and "hip" and/or they give bands reviews because they feel like it boosts the current trend in music. Wilco could make a perfect record and they would slap a mediocre number on there.

Then why are you writing in this thread...?

I hate Pitchfork's reviews.. that was written like a 4/4.5 out of 5 review anywhere else, but of course they just slap a 6.9 on there in order to becritical enough to maintain their snarky pretentiousness when talking about seasoned bands.

Do you ever have anything positive to say?

This is your opinion, and I respectfully disagree.

Agreed, I think some people spend way too much time on this forum in general, but especially to try to be funny... On an Internet forum (I know this post will be replied to with something sarcastic/someone attempting to be funny and assert their Internet ego)

How about this: none of you are remotely funny. For one, Jules thinks he's the shit, but the fact remains that you guys spend way too much time on a fucking forum. Jules: you are not at all funn, and neither are the rest of you who try to mak jokes with stupid fucking emoticons.

I think I'm actually more excited about the track now

PM if anyone gets it, and vice versa if I find it!

When I first heard the new single, I immediately loved it (and it has been getting better and better which is a good sign) However, I watched the Youtube videos and listened to the recorded mp3s of the 4 other new tracks played at Solid Sound. I loved Born Alone right away, but I posted negatively about the tracks "Dawned on Me" and "Standing O," saying that it sounded like more pop mediocrity. Admittedly, I strongly dislike half of Wilco the Album, and I see the album as the whole as forgettable. Not bad, but not great either. When I heard "Dawned on Me" and "Standing O," I thought that we

I'm a big fan of the record, but at the very least..we got some new live staples that are pretty darn good.

If anyone records those roadcase shows, let us know!

I think the lame jokes are my least favorite part about the forum.

Not necessarily... plenty of hardcore fans there criticize any direction the band takes, wanting them to sound like It still Moves and Z... just like the hardcore Wilco fans on this site.

Well, this is YOUR opinion. "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one....and yours kinda stinks" - or at least the way you presented it.

It's really just people on this forum giving it stick.. take a look at the MMj forum, very well received.

Really?!?!?! Helplessness Blues and Circuital are disappointments? Not sure if you heard the right records.

I never said I was bashing the album, I was commenting on what I heard from the video AND the mp3s I heard from the recordings. Regardless of sound quality, we heard the basic song being performed by the band. Therefore, I have every right to comment on it without bashing the album. Also, to alecrothman... I checked out the mp3 of Dawned on me... better sound quality but still kind of ehh for me, just sounds kind of cheesy and chorus driven, with not much excitement. Hopefully it will grow. Still love Born Alone though

For sharing opinions? I mean I listened to the songs being performed in the videos, from what I heard in those videos, I was underwhelmed. Granted, the album could sound completely different....

I like Born Alone too, but Dawned on me and Standing O are pretty...well... unexciting in my opinion.

I was excited about I Might when I heard it, but these other tracks suggest more of the same soft rock mediocrity... Darn, I was hopeful about this one.

And there is nothing wrong with someone PMing the link right after asking hahaha

PM me?

It was what we call a joke.
