Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yes. D-man and I have been listening to it steadily and enjoying every minute of it. The three people I turned onto it have expressed great pleasure in hearing it. You naysayers ever think you MIGHT be Jaded? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hottuna Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Taking a break. Listened to BBN live and it sounded good but identical almost to the second compare to the album which I hope changes. There are just a couple too many clunkers on this one for me to really dig it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Long Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 21 plays of the new album says iTunes, and I'm still into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave41 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 5 plays in the last 2 weeks. New DMB will keep me distracted until the vinyl drops. Nells work is stellar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 just listened to You Never Know again after putting it down for a while and i'm liking it a lot better than i initially had. i listened to Bull Black Nova on the way home from work tonight and it was raining/ lightning like crazy with a wild wind blowing. that really gave the song a new meaning to me, not that i was tired of it or anything, just made me see it a different way.

KansasAl Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 yes very much so. I am surprised so many people have put it down already seeing as how the general consensus was the album is a "grower" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikechuck Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Listened for 2 weeks straight after the leak then put it away. Not for any dislike, I just didn't want to burn out on it (although that hasn't been a problem with the thousands of times I've listened to the other records). However, I was planning on putting it back on heavy rotation today - seeing as the band's gonna be here (El Paso, TX) a week from tomorrow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yep -- still listening and enjoying greatly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rareair Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 yes. cannot wait to see if they play any new songs on saturday. live version of BBN was quite good (imo). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmada Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 yesone wing, solitaire and country are my favs at the moment I think one wing is gonna sound great live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Still listening to it quite a bit. Found out my wife ordered the vinyl for me so as soon as that shows up I will be throwing it on some more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I listened to it yesterday while I was waiting for the GDMF boat to show up, but I am going to not listen to it anymore until I get my actual e-copy from iTunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I've listened to it off and on, but haven't completely obsessed over it.. yet.. I'm sure it'll happen eventually like every Wilco album has for me. I really love it, it just hasn't soaked in yet completely. But "You and I" led me to check out more Feist. I picked up "The Reminder".. Man that chick can sing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mollyegan Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Love it...I need BBN like I need air. Totally addicted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J_Lefty Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 After hearing a few of the new tracks live for the first time, I'm developing a new respect for the songs. Bull Black Nova and You Never Know are actually very different live than in the studio and in a very good way. Wilco the Song is pretty straightforward and sounds about the same live and on WTA. ...Sunny feeling, I felt, was just as bland and annoying live as it was on the record. Jeff even made a sarcastic crack about the song, saying we'll love the song when they come back and play it next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'm lovin it. Everlasting is growing on me hardcore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Does anyone else hear a Steely Dan guitar break in BBN? I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way (love The Dan personally), but there's a point in the song that wouldn't sound out of place on Aja. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still love the album, and I think I've had every song on it stuck in my head at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way (love The Dan personally), but there's a point in the song that wouldn't sound out of place on Aja. I'm a big Dan fan, too... I've been hearing twinges of Steely Dan in Wilco since AGIB and the Loose Fur stuff. I def. agree that BBN has that quality. Ever notice how much Hate it Here sounds a lot like Bad Sneakers and Any Major Dude...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I def. agree that BBN has that quality. Ever notice how much Hate it Here sounds a lot like Bad Sneakers and Any Major Dude...? Yeah, definitely. I would say it's partly due to Nels' jazz background and Dan's propensity towards jazz scales / chords in their songs, particularly in their later albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tlwood Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 My experience with SBS was that I liked the album very much, but after seeing them doing the songs live several times i appreciated it much more.I'm hoping that is the case with WTA as well. also recently noticed the Steely Dan flavor while listening to the AOAF audio in my car.

Beautiful & Stoned Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 yes very much so. I am surprised so many people have put it down already seeing as how the general consensus was the album is a "grower"I'm surprised too. It's growing on me more every day. Like all Wilco releases, for me anyway, the more time you spend with them the more terrific they become. Wilco (The Song) is the only one I don't listen to regularly. Can't wait to see how these play live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
