there haven't been enough wilco threads lately.

I am this album

 

[Lancemc]

Side With The Seeds, I Hate It Here, and On and On and On are pretty much tied for favorite.

All the rest are tied for second.

 

[LemonMelon]

the stream is still up.

So it is.

 

[U2Man]

the only song that i dont find absolutely stellar is shake it off. the other ten could make any other artist jealous.

what a killer start run: either way, you are my face, impossible germany, sky blue sky, side with the seeds.

 

[LemonMelon]

I can tell this is going to be a pretty chilled affair.

 

[AtomicBono]

oh wow i'm glad i looked at this thread

you guys are my heroes

listening to it now... Either Way is stunningly beautiful in that perfect Wilco way.

I agree. Shake it Off didn't totally blow me away.

And you can't beat that 5 song start. Either Way is the perfect opener, and one of the best pop songs I've heard in yeeaaars.

you have no idea what kind of awesomeness you're about to be exposed to.

(unless, of course, you've read the last posts here )

Agreed
"Either way"

 

[LemonMelon]

This one will take a few listens for me. I can tell the songwriting is fantastic, but I know a few listens through this and it'll have me in a tight grip.

Very good album so far.

 

[Lancemc]

The guitar in Impossible Germany is simply mind-blowing jesus. And even after listening to You Are My Face a good 2 billion times in the last few days. It's still perfect.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow, the solo in Impossible Germany truly is special.

 

[AtomicBono]

You Are My Face = great song title.

Impossible Germany... this is really amazing.

I'm really digging this so far.

 

[LemonMelon]

This is definitely on pace to be an 8 1/2 to 9 or so record. There hasn't been a Shot In The Arm or I'm The Man Who Loves You that would floor me, but it'll come.

 

[Lancemc]

Side with the Seeds, I Hate It Here, and On and On and On

The holy trinity of this album.

 

[LemonMelon]

I've never heard guitar like this on a Wilco album before.

 

[xaviMF22]

fuck...I'm going to have to get all wilco albums now....

I am loving this one...

 

[AtomicBono]

I'm The Man Who Loves You

Side with the Seeds great ending

 

[LemonMelon]

The Wilco forum is down.

 

[AtomicBono]

Shake it Off started boring but the chorus is

when is this album officially released...? May 15?

Yes to this entire post.

 

[AtomicBono]

argh that's a long time

I suppose I'll have to occupy myself with Neon Bible, which I still haven't heard

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, that should do the trick.

Have you heard Shins' Wincing The Night Away?

 

[LemonMelon]

I Hate It Here sounds like a sped up version of Oh! Darling. And it's just as good. Which is pretty darn great.

 

[AtomicBono]

it does, a bit! very beatles. I love it

and no, I haven't heard the new Shins. Is it worth getting? I have their other albums. I find them pleasant but not mindblowing, though Caring is Creepy is very worthy

 

[Lancemc]

Wincing the Night Away might be my favorite Shins album. Worth checking out.

Well, in my opinion, Wincing is the one that will blow your mind, if any of them do. It's bigger, better produced, and Shins at their essence. It's kind of the major label debut that wasn't.

Personally, I think it's great.

 

[LemonMelon]

OMGWTFBBQ Neon Bible only got an 82 on Metacritic!

Time to break out the threats and letterbombs.

I'll likely get it then

nice phaser guitar in Leave Me (Like You Found Me)

I love this album. Sky Blue Sky pwns my puny soul.
