hardinggr Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 I respect that opinion. However, it occurred to me that if you "hardly listened to Summerteeth at all," you may not have listened to it enough times to let such a layered album unwrap itself for your ears. Me, I have the opposite problem -- I've listened to ST too much (thanks, wife). I like the songs as have heard them live and in acoustic form from several downloads but I just don;t like the production on the album itself which for me is a shame.....

c53x12 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I go through phases where I get tired of bands, and Wilco is no exception. I'm coming off about 6 months of totally ignoring Wilco. Whenever this happens, Summerteeth is the record that always brings me back. But I love AM too, and YHF and BT also. BT, ST, and YHF are one the strongest album triumvirates by any band ever.

lost highway Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I like the songs as have heard them live and in acoustic form from several downloads but I just don;t like the production on the album itself which for me is a shame..... Agreed. The production sounds yucky. I don't just blame the pro tools, it's the way that it was used and mixed. Especially the first track... yuck. Otherwise I think the album contains five or six of Wilco's best songs. Nonetheless, AM is the only album below it in my Wilco scale of awesome. A mixed bag indeed.

froggie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 > Especially the first track... yuck. that was requested to be a radio single. the only thing i dont like about it is the sheer volume when it first starts - it catches you off-guard depending on what volume your stereo is on!

Jesusetc84 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Didn't know where to put this...but I chose this. AMG upgraded a couple of albums to 5 star, and Summer Teeth became one of only 4 rock albums since 1998 to get 5 stars from them (and I think one of only like 7 albums period.) As a HUGE fan of the album, it was nice to see it get some of the praise that's usually reserved for YHF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusetc84 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Well, I love Summerteeth and YHF... personally I think both should have 5s on AMG, but since they only did one, I'm glad it was Summerteeth (since YHF has a zillion perfect scores anyway.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially the first track... yuck. Otherwise I think the album contains five or six of Wilco's best songs. Nonetheless, AM is the only album below it in my Wilco scale of awesome. A mixed bag indeed. Seriously? I think melodically and arrangement wise, it's one of wilco's most consistent albums, if not the most. There's no song on Summerteeth that doesn't knock my socks off. If I did my personal top 20 Wilco songs, it'd include about 8 songs from YHF, 6 from Summerteeth and 6 from the other records. Of course, I never gave a shit about Country before getting into Wilco, so I have no problem with Summerteeth's arrangements; in fact they're a lot more in tune with what I listen to outside of Wilco (Beatles, Beach Boys, Zombies, Late Velvet Underground, early 80s Elvis Costello) then are most of Wilco's records.

ELS Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I don't see how you could dislike A.M. After all, it DOES have "Passenger Side"... (I about died when they started it in St. Louis last spring) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
