    "Come on children, you're acting like children/Every generation thinks it's the end of the world," begins the candidly catchy centerpiece of these lost-and-found tradsters' best album.

    Wilco (The Album) is as consummate as anything its author has yet delivered. [Aug 2009, p.97]

    The band have covered all bases this time; pushing themselves to experiment while still celebrating what makes their music so catchy and compelling.

    Like a slightly under-serving best of, though, we get glimpses of what they've done before, but nothing substantial enough to set a new high-water mark.

    Solid album from Wilco. They somehow manage to change their sound a bit with each record, and though they may not sound much like Uncle Tupelo any more, Tweedy and Company know how to make music. This may not be their best, but its a nice listen.… Expand

    The album feels uneven, you have some really good songs and some mediocre songs. Wilco (The Song) and Bull Black Nova are two key tracks that I love.
