Now officially part-time risque, this finds these formidable alt-country boys discovering excess, contrast, dissonance, suggestive lyricism, and new levels of heart-string tugging.

Meant to click 4.5. This album has about 1/3 that I'd say is notably weaker than the other 2/3, but that 2/3 is one of the strongest collections of songs in American music, and the double-LP nature of the record makes the less powerful tracks forgiveable in the overall experience of Being There.

there is one album that i just cant give anything lower than a 5, even though it's not my favorite album from the band. being there is that album. there are even songs on this double album i'm not quite fond of, but i just fucking love this album. this is wilco in their transitional period between their alt-country folk roots and their indie rockin' future albums. this album got wilco rockin' out and writing catchy songs stuck in your head for days. its also features a more somber and darker side of tweedy that just oozes emotion. like i said, wilco has done better, but it took a hell of an effort to top this.

who on earth authorized the publication of this record and were they tone-deaf? ri mean, typically jeff tweedy's drunken warbling can sound great, come on, yankee hotel foxtrot was just freaking great, but being there just destroy any sort of semblance wilco has to a band that makes listenable alternative country. THIS is why alternative country has been given a bad rep. THIS is why every alternative country-driven festival on the continent definately feels more comfortable with a 'folk' label. it's your fault, wilco, but just this once. lastly, WHY IS IT A DOUBLE DISC?! WHY?!
