Wilco Band • Page 9

a trimmed down being there would be their best album

as it stands it's very good but they have better

 

It’s def top 5. I just don’t think due to its length it tops any of those classics.

 

I will say Ode To Joy is one of those sentimental favorites because it came out right when I went to London on my favorite vacation and it soundtracked that

 

I'm generally very very in favor of the 'this long thing with a couple weak songs would be better if it were a shorter thing with only great songs' argument, but I'm not sure there's anything on Being There weak enough for me to invoke it here.

 

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
A Ghost Is Born
Being There
Summerteeth
Sky Blue Sky
A.M.
The Whole Love
Star Wars
Wilco (The Album)
Ode to Joy
Cousin
Cruel Country
Schmilco

 

I would like to state for clarity that my like was for your being there comments. I politely disagree about SBS

but being there would be the best record most bands would ever make. Has 2 of my 3 favorite Wilco songs too

edit: I also agree TWL is seriously underrated. first and last songs alone make it better than their last several for me

 

Art of Almost is so fucking good

 

Finally got it live on the Sleater Kinney tour and I lost my mind during the end

 

It mostly goes without saying but this band’s C tier is most band’s A-tier

 

this feels like the right review of Wilco the album specifically. Like that is a flawed but pretty fucking great record if you remove the context of it coming after a historic run

 

for real, it has TRACKS. You and I is god tier wilco

 

won't hear any flaws about that extremely good record

 

Deluxe box with extra live album. 15 bucks used. Big scoreeeeee

 

loving A Ghost is Born in these anxious ass times. Handshake Drugs is my favourite Wilco song when I'm listening to it just like 10 other Wilco songs

 

spinning so much Wilco recently, Cousin/Hot Sun was such an incredible comeback. hope they're working on more stuff along those lines

also A Ghost is gradually unseating summerteeth as my favourite these days

 

never really gave the camel album a fair shake and i dig it more than i remembered. deeper down and bull black nova are fantastic

 

been on that beat for a long time, one wing and country disappeared are also great

 

some top-tier stuff on that album it's just so frontloaded lol. One Wing is an absolute tune, I have a soft spot for that album cos Neil Finn's on it though

 

oh woah didnt know that, and yeah the closing run kind loses steam unfortunately lol but we are cooking for a good maybe 7 or so songs

 

That duet with Feist is so so good

 

ode to joy is a better album than ive given it credit. its a great headphone album, just letting all the little details washing over

 

first listened to this the day it came out on a train from London to Manchester. Totally agree about the headphones

 

yeah very much an album about the small moments

was doing some interview diving and it makes a lot more sense to me seeing that tweedy wrote most of schmilco/star wars on his own and then built them up into wilco songs, where ode to joy was actually written in a room together. difference is night and day imo

 

i have a real soft spot for schmilco
