I sort of feel the same way. I listened to this this morning in the car. All the songs are at least a minute too long, and there are too many songs. A few of the songs feel like exact replicas of other songs on the album. If they had cut three songs, and made all the songs shorter, this may have been a fantastic album.

Did he get lyposuction on his lips?

My mother in law has a trip booked to Egypt in April. She swears everything will be cool by then.

My thoughts exactly.

What website? Via Chicago?

Tweedy's a murderer?

It's a IKEA couch. Too much risk of breakage if they try to move it.

The next Wilco album could probaly benefit from a few random kid screams and dog barks.

When AM was new, one of my coworkers put it on the mix in the restaurant where I worked. It stayed in the mix for months. I really liked those songs, and if it weren't for hearing them in that context, there's a very good chance that Wilco would be just another Radiohead, or something, to me. A band that is supposed to be really good, and who has a few songs I know and like, but that I've never given serious consideration.

WTA is the only album in Wilco's catalog, other than perhaps AM, that feels to me like an album some other band could have put out. To me, that's what makes it their weakest album.

Definitely has potential.

I predict bands will startt making videos again just so they can get made fun of by Beavis & Butthead.

That is a masterpiece.

We need them now more than ever.

I'd rather err on the side of caution than be hardheaded on the side of carelessness.

Probably not a bad idea. Nels and Glenn get their moments on the albums and on stage, but rather than them fitting their styles into the confines of (sometimes relatively) dull pop rock tunes, why not use their unique playing styles as the basis for creating something new?

I'll give JB credit for that, too. The man clearly has great taste in guitars.

Have you listened to Nels's playing on Mike Watt's Contemplating the Engine Room? It's a lot different than what he does on most of his own releases. That's his best sideman playing that I've heard, and I'd ike to hear a bit of that adventurousness in whis contributions to Wilco. I know this thread has sort of turned into a Nels discussion, but ultimately, I think Tweedy is letting Glenn's talents go to waste, too.

True. Hopefully that'll change.
