The perfection of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot this is not, but Summerteeth is still a phenomenal, if hefty collection of songs from Wilco's golden years.

The first 6 songs alone are enough to cement this album in your memory for all of eternity. The rest is probably almost as great, though it takes a less immediate route with some minor missteps. And that combination seems to be the appeal of Wilco - they initially come off as slightly-above-average radio-pop softies, but just below the surface they are often morbid, complex, more than willing to experiment, and never taking the easy way out.

Wilco get more tender and more consistent on this 3rd release. Not honest, mind you. Tweedy's lyrics are as dada as ever, inspiring endless amounts of fruitless analysis. The music manages to give the nonsense context. The material itself is a little slice of the Big-Star-worship power-pop revival of the 90s, but the idiosyncrasies of Tweedy's character, paired with the inventive instrumentation, sets it apart. Notable throughout is the buzzing bear-hug synth, courtesy of the late Jay Bennett, which is cheesy only in the classiest way. While slow numbers like the uneasy "Via Chicago" and "She's a Jar" are highlights, the lower tempos sometimes drag. Everywhere they pick up the pace is an absolute joy, particularly "I'm Always in Love" and "Nothing'severgonnastandinourwayagain". Definitely worth a listen. 8/10

Perfect, amazingly melodic and often chilling pop from Tweedy and crew. Kicking off with 'Can't Stand It', a supreme piece of bouncy rhythm & blues with a desperate chorus, there's not a loser in the batch- from the pounding 'Shot in the Arm', the heartbroken, heartbreaking ballad 'Just Friends', and most of all the harrowing centerpiece, 'Via Chicago'. Depression never sounded more inviting than this.

I like the 2nd half quite a lot compared to the first tracks... but it just isn't Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
