I like it. I definitely like it after the plodding opening few tunes.

this is solid plod though, sounds like something was at stake this time



'schmilco' was 'we have too much time in our own studio and nothing to lose so lets noodle' plod



second tune is a grower here, they dare to go as close to 'stirring' as they can without blowing it and getting obvious

It’s no shmilco. Love the breeziness of that album which is fucking underrated on here.

This is more weighty and a band effort. I dig it.

The whole love is their best record since YHF easy. One Sunday morning is my favorite Wilco song ever I think. And I like all three of these last ones more than Sky Blue Sky

Wilco albums percentaged:



1st: Summerteeth (89%)

2nd: Yankee (88%)

3rd: Being There (84%) lacks the hits of the two above

4th: Ode to Joy (79%) verrrrr good, proper start to finish listen

5th: Ghost is Born (74%) half a ‘top 2 level’ excellent album

6th: The Whole Love (72%) spotty

7th: Wilco the album (70%) cute but oft-disposable

8th: A.M (67%) honestly has more about it than what follows...

9th: Schmilco (65%) blah, couple of ear worms

10th: Sky Blue Sky (64%) two good songs and a lot of filler, so disappointing at the time

11th: Star Wars (59%) almost not good, closer is nice

this is cool, it feels like it continues the low-key trajectory jeff was heading towards with his two solo albums. the songs on warm/warmer were way better tho, kinda wish he'd just released that as a wilco double album

For those of you who think Shmilco is turd I’ll say this. There isn’t one track on here the title of which comes anywhere near to ‘shrug and destroy’

Shmilco >

I'd agree there isn't a song name here that comes close to 'Shrug and Destroy' :D
