JerseyMike Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Took about 3 months to understand...changed the way music is promoted on the net...includes some of the most innovative drumming in pop music...an album Wilco made before they sold out. Made me recognize the genius of Jeff Tweedy moreso And can we please not throw around the word "genuis"? Please?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiokills Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 reminds me (in hindsight) how indispensible Jay Bennett was to Wilco........-Robert.YESAnd can we please not throw around the word "genuis"? Please?!no we will use it in reference to jeff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 hopefully will put an end to "blank was the album that..." threads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyMike Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 no we will use it in reference to jeff But I asked nicely! I am only half-kidding though. It does bother me a little when I hear the word genius attached to the names of musicians. In reality, there have been a small number of true musical geniuses in the last 60 years of popular music, but the label gets attached to so many that it has lost its meaning. It would be an interesting thread, but I'm too lazy to start one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 ...if I only had to take one album to a deserted island with me, would probably be it. Anytime I need to hear music it's what I always reach for. It's just one those perfect albums in my opinion. I've probably listened to it more than anything else in the last five years, the only other records I can think that can touch it in terms of listens are A Ghost is Born and In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. The best records for me can completely emerge me in their world and become emerged in mine as well, if that makes any sense. It's always done that for me. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 reminds me (in hindsight) how indispensible Jay Bennett was to Wilco........ -Robert. Missed this in the first read through, but wanted to echo Robert's comments. Bennett is as just as instrumental to this album's brilliance as he was with Summerteeth... (http://www.gloriousnoise.com/?pg=bennettyhf.php) Adding Kotche and O'Rourke to the mix really pushed things to another level, sadly it ended up not being a workable arrangement for all parties, but we got a hell of a record out of the deal. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WilcoOfTheDay Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 ...I loved as one of my favorite albums of all time after seeing Wilco live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco LP #7 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 solidified my opinion that Wilco is the best rock band ever brought in a lot of confused, indie-centric faux Wilco fans, the kinds that write reviews for Pitchfork Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pocahontas Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 ....made the whole family fall in love with Wilco, if there is one thing we all can agree on it is Wilco. ....made me realize there is actually music that is good out there today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
