Create the new record's tracklisting

Anyone else think What Light is the most "fan friendly" new song? Could be...it's one of the best new tracks, IMO.

I really like the way Jeff does Is That the Thanks I Get when he plays it solo. I think it has a really bluesy swagger to it that it lost when Wilco played it on Conan. Then it sounded too clean and poppy to my ears.

I felt the same way... of all the live versions I have of that song, the Conan version is easily the least interesting.

It'd be a good opener, but I think it'll probably be Impossible Germany since that's the sort of song that Wilco tends to open records with.

 

I think both Walken and Impossible Germany are too straightforward to be openers. If the last two albums represent a pattern, then we can say that Wilco now tends to open with one of the most challenging tracks on the album. I think with YHF, opening with IATTBYH was a way for the band to give the middle finger to Warner, and to signal that their sound had changed. Opening AGIB with ALTWYS was issuing a similar challenge to listeners.

 

But most of the new stuff that I've heard falls under the straighforward category. Is there any new track that challenges like IATTBYH?
