It's a really good record. At the time, for some stupid reason, I remember not liking it as much after "Being There," and now ... I mean, I heard I think "Via Chicago" on the radio the other month, and I thought, huh, I wonder what version of this it is? Some radio session or something? And then I Shazamed it, and it said "Summerteeth." And I thought, huh, must have been close enough to fuck up Shazam! So I did it again a minute later and got the same results, and thought, huh, I guess I'll try to figure out which version it was when I get home. And no, it's the album version all right. It had just been so long, and I was so used to hearing it live, I guess.

i've heard that comparison before, brad. i retort to it with, "ya, but that album had 'time of the season.'"
i like this album just fine, but it does lack that one big highlight. i don't know what i would have voted for here, but the fact that it ended in a tie kind of validates my thought. bennett fans have a lot to love about this album. definitely great arrangements throughout.

If I’m honest this is my favorite Wilco record.

i will go back in time and vote for "candy floss" or the title track or "elt"
the '90s odessey and oracle
that's dusk at cubist castle! this album still rules though
the storm section on "via chicago" live is tremendous, the studio version only really hints at it in comparison. really hard to get past it and "a shot in the arm" here, as good as the rest of it is
