Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

I've had this album for around 4 months, and when I first purchased it, I couldnt get into it.. at all..

Now...

I think its simply a wonderful album, and one of the greatest that ever came out in 2002, in fact, the last few years.. It had to sink in, and settle, but now I simply cant stop listening to it, and I think wilco has created something incredible.

Anyone else really feel this album?

Best album of 2002. Why the fuck they got ignored by the grammies is a shame (but typical). All of Wilco's albums get better and deeper with each listen. Check out Being There and Summerteeth too...they are both amazing.

They also have an EP due out soon too.

peace

Is "Being There" really good?
I was interested in it, but always heard it wasnt as good as Yankee.

i think that "being there" is the ultimate wilco album... it's hands down my favorite...i like "am" and "summerteeth" and "yankee hotel foxtrot" as well, but none of them come even close to rivaling "being there"... for me, anyway... i would seriously recommend getting that cd... plus it's a double-set...

I agree, Being There is their best followed by Yankee, Summerteeth, Billy Bragg (1st one), and AM. Although they all are top records. You can't go wrong with any of 'em.

Yep! Eye think Yankee Hotell Foxtrot is so amazing, it took a while to "mesh" but now eye simply put it in my top 10, its something that is quite different, but pleasing after serveral listens.. it rocks!

How is the 2nd Billy Bragg CD? Its the only one I don't have, for no other reason than I always forget its there.

some of the songs are better, some are worse... on the whole it's very good cd, just about a notch below the other one... i think the main reason that it doesn't seem as good as the other one is because we know what this project is about already... i would get it... nod...

'Ashes Of The American Flag' and "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart' are beautiful songs.

Good live band!
