Because you're so hardcore right?

I had similar "fears", from the minute Nels came on board I thought the band was heading in that direction. Then BAM comes SBS. Honestly this is the record I always hoped Wilco would make, classic classic rock without sounding like a retro act or ripping any one band. As for the Jay Bennett thing, Jay brought alot to the band and IMO the albums he had a hand in are still the "best". With just one album under his belt I'm not going to say Nels is some kind of Wilco savior though he certainly brings great stuff to the band. His playing on SBS is just great, at times he sounds like George Benso

Are you 7' tall?

What is Pitchfork?

I've probably listened to it 10 times since last night. At first it sounded pretty mellow but after a few spins it's starting to sound a little edgy, the guitar bursts jump out a little more after I became familiar with the songs. I don't have anything to compare it to, the only song from this album I've heard before was a version of Walken I saw on youtube. I love the album, it's like the anti mainstream indie record. I dig that it has a 70's vibe. It really isn't owing to any one artist though you can hear snippets of all things classic rock in it, to me it draws from everything of that e

Pretty much all of it. There was a few times I actually got choked up.

AM sucks?

That they are able to pull off a classic rock album in 2007 is freakin' cool. All the songs are great. I still don't know the names of some of the them but I really like Either Way and Sky Blue Sky. I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like this album. My fear was there would be too much Nels Cline on it but he plays beautifully on it. I love that they twang again on this, it's the perfect mix of new Wilco and older Wilco. This should be the album that keeps people happy, old fans and new fans alike. However if I could make a change it would be to add one really raucous rocker.

So how can I get a copy of this?

IT COULDN'T BE BETTER FOR ME,

No doubt, Either Way sounds like it could have been a Nick Lowe song. It would have fit right in on the 1st Brinsley album. I keep waiting for Ebury Down to follow it.

Yeah sorry it was supposed to be funny, I'm not much of a comic.

Ah yes thanks. I've held that book in my hands a few times but couldn't choke the $30 to buy it. Was a time I bled Wilco but I kind of lost interest after YHF. By the time AGIB came out I had moved on. Something drew to me VC today and I'm glad I came, the new songs roped me back in to Wilco.

Anyone saying that is too young to remember how cool America and Bread were. I'm still waiting for Wilco to cover If.

What's The High Heat? I've been away from Wilco for a long while. Those "farting" solos are Jeff.

Cheers Robert , good to see you too.

I think this record is going to be the best thing Wilco has ever done, Either Way is by far the best of the 3 IMO. So far the 3 songs have a cool feel and after repeated listens I'm picking up a '73 era Stones or Faces vibe. I know there will be a few rockers on the album, maybe not by most peoples standards. It just sounds great to me. It took me a while to appreciate AGIB but these songs hit home from the first listen. Today was actually the first time I've heard any of it. I haven't heard any Wilco at all since they last played Red Rocks, besides what I hear on the radio.

Pot makes me paranoid and I don't enjoy it.

I liked the short version better.

That's the truth, I spit out my coffee right at the David Bowie part. I'm going to have to switch keyboards with a coworker when nobody is looking.

Too bad he misspelled kabob, bonus for getting mannequin right though.

That is awesome, I love those reviews. Mannequin leg . Seriously funny shit.

The M-Audio stuff is a great buy. I'm likely going to buy the Delta 1010. People I know are trying to convince me PCI is going away soon but for $399 it's hard to pass up.

It's okay for the time being. It takes extra work pre recording but I've always thought that the more I get the sound right before I track the better the finished product. Mostly I use the mixer to adjust the level of each mic for an even sound. The mixer I have has good pre's so I get a warm drum sound, much better than before when I was just going direct with 2 overhead condensors. Eventually I'll get a multi channel I\O so I can mix the drums post recording, recording separate tracks for each drum mic and mixing from there. Alot of that stuff is new, I just got everything put together a few

I've heard a little of it and it sounds great to me.
