    Not really that bad, I just think Tweedys been hammering the same formula for several albums now. I think Star Wars was the last Wilco to actually sound like anybody besides him was involved. With the glut of solo material and 2  Wilco albums that sound like it, it’s just too much.
    In that case, lucky for me that I only ever listen to a limited number of their albums, so no formula has had any effect on me. I really only like maybe 3 or 4 of their albums (all the least country sounding ones). I didn't care for their last album. This one I like. Star Wars was pretty good. Of course my fave is always will be YHF.

    On first track now. Love the production of it already. Sounds wicked.

    I thought the hand wringing among Tools fan base regarding Fear Inoculum was pretty bad, but the reaction to Ode has been hilarious. World class band so there are always a few nuggets but this album is probably the worst of Tweedy’s career and some fans are calling it a return to form. And either they received some horrendous reviews in the past  or they’ve been super gracious with interviews to be receiving mostly positive reviews.

    No way this is worse than Wilco (the album)

    It’s not a return to form. His song writing definitely shifted with the Tweedy record. Since then talk been improving with every record including the 2 solo albums. It’s definitely a shift from everything in before Tweedy, which got too dad rock, the past few have gotten closer to the Loose Fur song style of writing which is fine by me.

    They're doing a live stream of tonight's show at Brooklyn Steel in NYC. It's due to start in about 45 minutes.

    Just got back (last night) from Wilco's Sky Blue Sky destination concert in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

    Wilco played 3 shows, performing 75 songs total with ZERO repeats!

    Amazing to hear that many different songs!

    That's awesome. Hopefully they'll go back to more of a rotating setlist in the regular tours.

    The best run of Wilco shows I’ve ever seen was their residence at the Riv in Chicago over 5 nights when their played their whole catalog (at that point). Which was up through SBS at that point. It was awesome.

    I think they played about 75% of their catalog in Mexico, assuming they have 10 albums with 10 songs per.

    Don't forget all their outtakes. Just like PJ, Wilco have a good amount of quality songs that didn't make it onto the albums. Magazine Called Sunset, Cars Can't Escape, Just a Kid, The Thanks I Get, etc. And the Woody Guthrie songs. They did three nights at the Capitol Theater in 2014, featuring 90 songs and one repeat. That was exhilarating.
