Wilco Being There
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.
