Title: Wilco's pop gem
Review: I've read every review on this site, and decided its time to add my own. Several reviews are comparing Wilco to the Beach Boys or the Beatles because of this CD. The only way to appreciate it is to compare Wilco with themselves. Do that, and you'll grow to love this record. The best songs on the cd (She's a Jar, A Shot in the Arm, ELT, I'm Always in Love) stand up well against their other classics (Box of Letters, California Stars, Outtasite (Outta Mind), What's the World Got in Store). On a recent busines trip I took along a "Wilco's Greatest Hits" tape I made. By the end of the week, the new songs sounded comfortable with the old. I think the negative reviews are coming from the same people who gave up on R.E.M. when "Fall on Me" started to get some airplay. They tell everyone about their favorite band (the "greatest band in the world"), then get upset when their friends actually listen. Anyway, buy this one, give it some time, its worth it.
Is the review positive or negative?
