:blink :lol

 

...could have probably used a couple of more keyboard overdubs. In all seriousness this is my third favorite Wilco album, I'd give it five stars along with Yankee and Ghost. It's not quite perfect, but sometimes that works it's favor. The record can be so intense sometimes some of the lighter tracks ELT, My Darling, etc. are needed just so you can catch your breath. There are probably more underappericated gems on this album than any other Wilco realease.

...contains the only song by Wilco that I can't stand... We're Just Friends. But I do like I Can't Stand It very much. First time I played it, it scared the crap out of me.

...told me there's more to Wilco than them being 'Billy Bragg's backing group on Mermaid Avenue'* (*aussie press-talk)

 

and now look where its taken me!

 

(even though pieholden is one of my least fave wilco tunes)

C'mon Froggie! Once those horns kick in it just makes an already awesome song even better, I absolutely love Pieholden Suite wish they'd play it live again.

initially:

...almost made me abandon Wilco altogether because it has a bunch of songs that sound like this: "doooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee----doo-dooo---woo--doooo-woo"

 

after some reflection:

...taught me that maybe, just maybe "pop" isn't necessarily a dirty word.

 

many years down the road:

...still contains some of the best Wilco songs that I play the least.

I listened to once and threw on the shelf only to "re-discover" six months later. Now tied with Being There as my all time favorite.

... is Wilco's best album, the most rich in melodies, and anyone not getting it as a whole wonder is simply deaf.

 

...has some hardcore fans

 

..., along with AM, is played much less than any other Wilco album in my various music playing devices

 

...seems like the last album that saw Wilco putting up with bullshit from the label ('Can't Stand It', unnecessary bonus tracks with wrong song titles)
