Wendy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I do love how you snuck in with that last "good bit" ... bit. Perfect! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticeyeball Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 One can't be a true Wilco fan and say that SBS sucks, or AM sucks, etc. They may not be your favorite of their albums but I know you don't think they suck, or else you wouldn't be hanging out at Via Chicago. i have not listened to sbs since the first week it came out and i can't remember when i listened to am last.

J_Lefty Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 So, do you think they will be playing the new stuff in the summer tour? I'm going to be at the Cincinnati show on June 12, and I'm hoping they're playing the new stuff by then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtray Jr. Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Just doing my part to keep it interesting. But really, does anyone here honestly think a single Wilco records SUCKS? I'd say it's right near the top for me, right behind Summerteeth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 sbs Interesting. Ok, I'm proven wrong then... I guess you can still be a true Wilco fan and think one of their albums suck. My definition of a true wilco fan - Someone that posts daily on their fan message board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to be at the Cincinnati show on June 12, and I'm hoping they're playing the new stuff by then.You know, this is what I wonder too. I sure hope so. I have tix for that show as well, and I just saw them twice with no new songs ... and I'm very much hoping that by the time of the Cinci show, Wilco will have streamed the new album on Wilcoworld so that everyone DOES have a chance to hear them, and will consider this the beginning of touring in support of the new CD. Yes. I definitely hope so, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davidtobin100 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Maybe I'm on my own here but the thing that makes Wilco a special band for me is how each album fells like such a huge change/progression from the last, and also how cohesive it sounds within itself. Wilco is very much a band that creates albums, something which it seems is becoming rarer and rarer, rather than the standard "stick the singles at the start and the crap at the end" method that many other bands prefer. Each album stands apart and really only makes sense in it's own context. There's no way I could listen to them on random, tried it once and found it very jarring. Judging from what I've seen on the new DVD Wilco are currently a band very at ease with each other who are really enjoying what they're doing, so I'm pretty confident that this will translate to the new album.

nodep5 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 i have not listened to sbs since the first week it came out and i can't remember when i listened to am last. Well I am sorry twice for you, because I think you are missing out. This is all opinion of course, but I kind of agree with the sentiment that to say either of those records sucks would be a pretty strong statement and I would imagine your record collection to be very small becuse that kind of feeling would disqualify about 80% of all records made. I personally have listened to SBS more than any other Wilco record since it was released and I will never have anything but fond love for AM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 But really, does anyone here honestly think a single Wilco records SUCKS? No! A lot of other albums suck, but no Wilco album sucks IMO. Not by a longshot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 But really, does anyone here honestly think a single Wilco records SUCKS? No, but I will take this opportunity to say that I honestly think 'Student Loan Stereo' has greater emotional insight and authenticity than 'Leave Me Like You Found Me.' The song is a contrived, emotionless piece of garbage and while I don't skip it when I'm listening to the whole album it is NOT on my Wilco playlist. I 100% truly, honestly, would rather have Jay Bennett sit in my lap and sing 'My Darling' to me (being a fan of neither him nor the song) than have to listen to that song when it is not sandwiched between the tracks that follow and precede it on the album. Oh my GOD it felt good to get that off my chest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My definition of a true wilco fan - Someone that posts daily on their fan message board. i wasn't trying to prove you wrong. i don't consider myself a "true" fan these days. most of the time, me hanging out here has little to nothing to do with wilco. these may even have been my first posts ever in the JAF section.

I agree with you in terms of what you are saying. I love Wilco and I also love Ryan Adams, but you are right, I can make a Ryan Adams mix and most of it all fits. Wilco is truly an album band with each being a different feel and different vibe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkiesmile Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Just for the record I never said I didn't like SBS. I just think Wilco made engaging albums before extended Nels solos came along. You don't need to be a guitar god to create an interesting solo. Sometimes proficiency=sterility.That's why I'm not a Satriani fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have an overall good feeling about this new record. I'll predict most of us end up ranking it as our 3rd or 4th favorite Wilco album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nodep5 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Explain. I would place any Wilco record in the top 20% of all albums ever made and so if you think a few Wilco records suck, then I believe you think ALOT of music must really suck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
