Saw most of the minor league park set last night. I suspect I'm in the minority, but I really wish Nels would just sit a couple of songs out. Or that someone would tell him that it's OK no to constantly noodle-noodle over everything.

Haven't seen them recently, but I think I'm pretty much ready to vehemently disagree with you there.
How was that for a venue? It seemed like a fun show idea.

It was OK. Ticket window seemed a bit overwhelmed, and traffic was predictably slow getting in, but the vibe was nice even if the band's bro contingent was in beyond full effect. Posters sucked, surprisingly.
I just don't like Nels in this context. Don't like his tone, don't like his solos, don't like "Impossible Germany" ...

They can do better than this:

Yes they can, decent idea with horrible execution. Heh, I love "Impossible Germany" and his tone.

It might be my favorite Wilco song ... title.
Not a lot of Jeff skronk, though I dig it when he does.

this album is really good, which is surprising as ive never really liked any of their post-YHF stuff which i found boring and meandering. this is the wilco sound i missed listening to.

It's because they started doing power pop again. They were good at that. Wish they would do more of it

I wish they will do more of One Sunday Morning.

This is their best album since YHF.

its not just power pop though, the mellow songs really hit the spot. "whole love" and "one sunday morning" make a great ending to the album.
