The problem is, you're always going to have people who like the Wilco album, because yes, there are those people who would buy an album that consisted of recordings of Jeff farting in an empty grain elevator while John and Glenn keep the rhythm on a rubber band and an old washing machine body. But there are also people who will recognize this album for what it is: an honest effort that's maybe not going to be everybody's cup of tea. For everyone who's disappointed (as I am, to an extent) that this is not a very "exciting" album, there will be someone who is totally in love with the pace and ar

This just in: Regina Spektor forced Fiona Apple to put out a shitty record that nobody likes. Plus, if you change your sound and a bunch of people like it, but I don't, then you're a sellout, sister.

I don't give a fuck what reviews say. I don't think it's close to his best album, but it's a fun listen. It's probably on par with SBS for me at this point.

It's a parody site. The guy who runs it is a gay performer.

That is totally wrong.

I don't get it.

I'm gonna go with one new track from time to time.

I agree with the first part of that, disagree with the second, and bring it on home by agreeing that it is, in fact, your opinion. Good album - I'd probably place it fourth among Son Volt albums, but it's definitely solid.

He means Peter Angelos, and he's pretty much right.

White people all look the same anyway.
