Shortage of Cashews

Well, it's better than Sky Blue Sky to my ears but there's less than a handful of songs that I want to return to. And the Feist collab is what I feared it would be. I suppose it's time for me to look in the mirror and realize that Wilco and I are slowly breaking up. Which is sad considering we've been together since 1994. I'm glad others are enjoying Wilco the Album. I'm certainly liking "Bull Black Nova" and "You Never Know," which I echo the Harrison sentiment and add that it's straight Jeff Lynne production and a little bit of Petty's "Jammin' Me."

That was the best Wilco song in a long, long time. I think I have officially forgiven Sky Blue Sky. Hopefully the new material echoes that sound.

I didn't say they were bad, just disappointing. It was a great year for non-indie music. I fell in love with a lot of releases this year, but I was letdown by a lot of names that I expect to bring goodness--not mediocrity.

Are there folks that uptight around here these days? I think you'd probably be downgrading by stealing my television--it's not very good.

Nels hasn't ruined Wilco, Tweedy has.

One of my favorite lives acts, and more so one of the last great traditional country singer/songwriters though I hesitate to throw the label of country on Robbie.

There is little to no variation in their recent setlists. This is the first time in ages that when Wilco comes around, I have zero interest in seeing them. The live presentation is top notch, but a lack of variation is horrible. A lot of the greats aren't being trotted out anymore which is depressing.

Agreed, but Jason isn't a bad drummer by any means. The music would still be great and that's the hook.

When Page and Plant toured almost 10 years ago, those shows were great. I can't imagine any possible reunion tarnishing (and I hate that opinion that legacies can be tarnished) their name. Good musicians are always good musicians unless they've succumbed to excessive drug use (and even then, some are still just as great).

Well, that's what reviews are--personal assessments. That review doesn't reflect the views P4K, it reflects the views of the writer. Though, my apathy for P4K goes beyond their review process.

The promos haven't gone out yet and hopefully recipients of the promos don't feel the need to leak the album anymore.

Probably because promo copies will soon be making their way out, so why not just beat leakers to the punch and control the leak yourself and do it in a cool way.

Muchas gracias!
