    I don't get it. I actually liked Summerteeth and the albums they did with Billy Bragg, but with the reviews this albmm has been getting and, especially, the reviews the last album got, I can easily say these guys are the most overrated band of the millenium (so far).

    Forget about Sominex, this will put you fast asleep. Wilco are riding the undeserved hype of their last release which was so-so at best. They need to go back into the studio with Billy Bragg. Now that was some good stuff.

  1. This time, as well as simply delivering the goods, Wilco come bearing a basket of extras.
  2. Unlike the first three Wilco albums and even more than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost is Born requires careful listening.
  3. Ghost is not a lot of fun. Still, it's an accomplishment, because it's an angry album.
