I've been on a big Wilco kick lately for obvious reasons and I'm anxious for September 27. But listening to all of this old material has made the difference in quality between the older stuff and the last two albums that much starker.

 

Since listening to the stream, I'm intrigued by the new album, but cautiously optimistic. Hopefully it will exceed my expectations.

I agree. I was just on vacation and spent a good deal of the drive time listening to old Wilco and felt the same. Another thing that stands out to me is that if you compare this thread http://viachicago.org/topic/46083-one-line/ with this thread http://viachicago.org/topic/46131-best-wilco-lyrics/ it's pretty hard not to notice a difference in the quality of the lyrics as well.

 

The new songs are good, a couple are even great but they don't kick my ass the way the songs on BT, ST, YHF and even AGiB did.
