    Completists will be delighted that songs as good as Cars Can't Escape and Kicking Television have been rescued from the dead zone of soundtracks and bonus discs but there's a lot of competent Americana and superfluous concert material to get through. [Jan 2015, p.139]

    It’s disjointed--clumsy, even--with only glimmers of consistency, but the hardcore will appreciate that this is the way the band works: nothing comes easy and rewards are hard-won. Those listening out for singalongs, heartbreak and any solidity are better directed to the best of.

It is a wonderful companion piece to the band's 8 studio albums and the standard is high throughout the 77 tracks. It is endlessly interesting to follow the band over its journey of self exploration as well as the chronological sonic development. A must buy, an early Christmas present, and a sign that this band still exists and its next move could be just as fascinating to witness. Long live Wilco! Full Review »
