Like Tweedy on Xanax, backed by Air Supply. It might grow on me, but as yet the whole record's about waiting for "What Light" to arrive.

It's not as good as Yankee Hotel Foxtrot but think it's much beter than A Ghost Is Born. Looking forward to hearing these songs live at Bonnaroo in a month.

I've listened to it enough times, but just can't change my mind. It's background music. It sounds lazy and uninspired. I expected better.

Yet many times in life it unknowingly attaches itself to bits and pieces of your life, but until now I’ve had no Wilco stories. Today my Wilco story arrived, and as a matter of fact it’s still settling in. Wilco, as a group, is one that the people who write the sites I read love (cough, cough), the people I respect love, yet a band I have never really paid any time to. Something has changed.

She doesn't think it fits, and says it makes her "nervous". Go figure. Love it, but my wife hates the extanded guitar lead on “Impossible Germany”.

However, I would contend that some of Nels' guitar playing is pretty "out there"...This album is light years better than the last in my opinion.

I'm planning on writing something long about it as soon as I get a minute. Glad you like this record, man. I’m planning on writing something long about it as soon as I get a minute.
