Thanks Jesper! Definitely worth a try...
And yeah, this is long, but doesn't feel as long as it is, despite not being particularly varied.

I'm personally a fan of this new 80-minute double record trend that has really caught hold in 2022. Wilco, Beach House, Big Thief, Kendrick Lamar, even Ethel Cain in a sense - all very good records, and quite different in feel to the 100+ minute double-album behemoths I'm used to.
Just waiting for the Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan to drop the 33-song Mellon Collie sequel and ruin it for everyone.

Yeah man, I'm all for it. I'm liking this record and I liked the recent Big Thief album, too.

I feel like everything on this is very safe and unoriginal albeit pleasant in the most general sense. I am going to revisit this week a couple times and see if it grows and becomes special like their other releases but so far this isn't doing it for me, I can't help but give it such a poor rating because of how absurdly safe all of this throughout.

Saw Wilco play this front to back on release day, which was pretty cool. Went into it blind minus hearing the lead single. Kind of hard to pick out the finer details in a live setting but it was pretty good. Bird Without A Tail sounded way better live than on the album.
Really don’t know what to think of this though. It’s obvious Tweedy is in a pretty dark state, but there are parts of this that are needlessly slow and long. Idk.

Best part of that show was either seeing Michelle Zauner from Japanese Breakfast sing Jesus Etc. or seeing David Byrne from The Talking Heads sing California Stars.

The title track is an early favorite of mine. It's early placement in the album helps but there's something about the unconventional percussion and that weirdly distorted guitar tone color Nels gets in the background of some parts that makes that one stand out.
There are a lot of interesting moments like that throughout though - people seem to want Wilco to do overtly weird stuff like they used to do so well but a big hallmark of their sound and what makes Tweedy and co so special as songwriters is the subtly unconventional decisions they make when picking chords and textures a lot of the time.

Michelle Zauner singing Jesus, Etc. sounds pretty cool, seems like an interesting show

Man, I relate to "Hearts Hard to Find"'s lyrics so much.

Wilco. That's a name I haven't heard in awhile. They're about as cool as my quadruple vaxxed cousin who now has monkey pox. I'll be sure to check this out, mostly to laugh at it like I do my cousin.

Wilco will always be cool because they don't care about being cool, which is the coolest way to be cool.

a video a buddy of mine took of it. and yeah it was a cool show - Solid Sound is a great event, every-other-year festival that Wilco organizes at a really cool museum (Mass MoCA). it was my 4th time attending (:
still cant get over seeing clipping. there in 2019.

I recall she mentioned that Summerteeth was an inspiration for her last record. I didn't quite hear the influences but she's cool. Wilco's cool. Everyone's cool.

Four full spins down and yeah, this is great. Definitely like it more than Ode to Joy and Tweedy's recent solo stuff but it remains to be seen if this can topple (the similarly understated) Schmilco as my favorite post The Whole Love.
