    Very Backspacer-esque in terms of being a short concise album from a band that doesn't do that. Short quirky songs that are all pretty cool.

    Short but experimental, probably the most experimental album they've done without Bennett or O'Rourke. Makes me yearn for those albums -- namely, YHF and AGIB.

    Full disclosure: The last album I listened to was Wilco (The Album), which bored me to tears; The Whole Love might be awesome.

    I think this one is way better than the last two.
    I'm pretty happy with you satellite and cold slope after two listens they stick out to me

    I listened this morning and liked it quite a bit. I have only listened once but I think it is my favorite since YHF. I like Wilco best when they do upbeat rock-ish tunes.

    I am undecided on it so far...
    I like "Whole Love"... and I have only spun this once but it doesn't seem like the songs are gonna stand up over time. reminds me of "Wilco: the Album:.

    Really? I think its the farthest thing from the last 3 albums and closer to A Ghost is Born.

    I think that the difference is that A Ghost is Born had great songs on it and used "noise" to compliment them. I am just not hearing the quality songs on this new record but I am going to listen again.

    I think this album puts the quirky sounds to much better use than AGIB. Lotsa beneath the surface stuff that will be revealed with future listens. First album as a whole where I think they've really cut Nels loose.

    This album is an awesome headphone album. I am totally speechless. I had only heard on my system. I knew they were solid songs but I had no idea!!!!!

    Just watching Parks and Rec reruns and when Land Ho(Jeff Tweedy's fictional band) plays the Unity Concert they do Pickled Ginger. Pretty cool

    Had to order this from the States (I live in Canada) and the mailman just dropped off the CD version. Sounds awesome playing through an actual sound set up as opposed to a computer or iPod. Really good album from these guys. Saw them live in Vancouver and they are still one of the best acts out there these days.
