I had friends that gushed over this band. I never listen enough to them to have an opinion. Know that I've listened to this album, my opinion about Wilco is... Meh. Very talented musicians, great chill vibe, a little folksie and a little edgy... know I get it, they sound like the Grateful Dead... but not quite. I could listen to this album over an over but it'll always leave just a dull impression. I could enjoy listening to Wilco while hanging out with friends at a summer festival, but I didn't hear anything that caught my attention to cause me to turn away from my friendly conversation or the book that I was reading while enjoying the nice sunny day. Basically, I wouldn't brave a cold or rainy day just to see Wilco.
