That was almost too good of a run...setting up unrealistic expectations. This may seem like a simplistic argument, but I wish they knew how to self-edit better. Providing a glut of material isn't always a good thing. Their last three albums over a three-year span have 47 tracks, a lot of which sound so similar. Cut that down to 30-35 and these albums wouldn't be such chores to get through.

Two of the best of the year so far.

It has been beautiful here in Fort Worth.

I think they both miss each other quite a bit. I haven't liked any of Isbell's solo stuff.

The decline of DBT (at least in my eyes) has been frustrating. There was a time when Wilco and DBT were my two favorites, and the one on top was usually the one I had seen last. The decline of both has been during the same time frame, but DBT has been more worrisome because that encompasses 4 albums of subpar material rather than 2.

Interesting, since there isn't a song on Go-Go Boots a tenth as good as Never Gonna Change, Lookout Mountain, or Goddamn Lonely Love. Of course, any song from Go-Go Boots, if placed on The Dirty South or Decoration Day, would instantly be the worst song on its new album.

I had the same reaction. Haven't gotten around to listening to it again.

TBTD is decent, but Go-Go Boots is the worst album of their career. Even more tired and tedious.

Really impressed with this one.

Is there any other way to drink it? Otherwise, why even bother?

Me too!

So do I need to go home after work and start digging a cave in my backyard? What should I do?

It's nice to see them come back strong after their mediocre last album.

Wow. That is quite the leap.

Huh? I didn't get that.

It's a song playing in the restaurant.

He was an extremely minority owner. He just helped put the group together and was named CEO.

I actually think it's pretty terrible. Overearnest and dull. It has been downhill since Leaders of the Free World.

Really like both of these, too.

I won't miss it for that very reason.
