uncle wilco Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 have i said how much i love this album now? well...i do. Â 54 days and counting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 sorry if it's been noticed before (and there are many chances for that), but I won't read the 15 pages of this thread! Â so: don't you find the title-track too close to "Far, Far Away" musically? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 so: don't you find the title-track too close to "Far, Far Away" musically?Yeah, it uses the same first couple notes from the solo on Far Far Away, but so what? It was a little distracting the first couple times I heard it, but now it just kind of makes me smile when I hear it. In a way I kind of dig the self-referential nod...maybe it'll make a great segue between songs in concert! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 so: don't you find the title-track too close to "Far, Far Away" musically?Why would this be a problem, anyway? Artists revisit their old songs all the time, musically, lyrically, thematically, or all three. Â They're two different songs that happen to have similar tempos and instrumentation ... is that some kind of sin? I mean, jesus, are we just looking for reasons to nitpick now?

I don't see any reason to indulge in everything my fave band does.I don't want to hear Wilco doing the same chords with every record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Someday Soon" and "Radio King" use some of the same lines. "Chinese Apple" and "Heavy Metal Drummr" the exact same 2nd verse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 90 percent of the board just had a heart attack....including myself. Alright, we're not taking the lords name in vein. I lived by BT one summer, and I still have a fond place in my heart for it, but it is as all double albums tend to be, a little uneven. Its not as perfect open to close as YHF. And after listening to KT, and YHF a ton, the braveness of opening with Misunderstood is diminished a bit. Its great, but its great in that it points to the later live versions and moments like Via Chicago on Summerteeth. Or maybe great in the way that makes me want to start smoking again. Wait were we talking about SBS? love it. Great record, I find myself more of a You Are My Face, Impossible Germany, Sky Blue Sky guy then a Shake It Off, Hate it Here guy. But I definitely do not skip those tunes. Oh and re:What Light being cheesy. Try this experiment: have a rough night, get up really early for work, drive half way to work and drink half of your coffee, then play it. It sounds like hope and beauty resurrected. Or play it midway through an average Sunday on your way to the grocery store and think that it is cheesy and also pretty good. Side effects may vary depending on the patient. Do not take with methamphetamines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This sounds exactly like it with all the crackling and stuff. I sure hope this isn't legit because it sounds bad... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
