i love this! especially the last batch of tracks. admittedly reminds me maybe more of sukirae than most wilco albums which i guess might be annoying, but damn these songs are great

Mystery Binds is a clear standout.

This is Warm/Warmer/Even Warmer (Love is King)/Warmest Pt. 4, eh?

I enjoy it as much as any of those, which is quite a bit but not a single song is memorable at all.

I think they're all quite memorable, but they're also very similar, with a few specific exceptions. It could be shorter, and/or the little micro-moments of beauty will reveal themselves further over time. But Jeff's songwriting here is top-notch, even if each song kind of bleeds into the next.

im pretty sure i like this more than the warms, sukirae is closer but i think i'll end up giving the edge to this one. there's still some wilco band dynamics at least

between good and bad
and what is true
between happy and sad
I choose you


:heartbeat:

I haven't even come close to digesting this album yet. Three concept flash reaction/review of what this album is: domestic. death. texture.

Listened to as much as I could upon release last night while closing down the bar. This album's small pockets of magic sound really good in an empty office at 3am, by the way. There's just so much to latch onto with these songs, but you have to listen closely.

The 4-song stretch between Tonight's the Day thru Bird without a Tail/Base of My Skull* is the most immediate favorite for me, but again, it's going to take a while to really absorb this one.

*
Spoiler: show
At the risk of turning people off, I'll say that the Base of My Skull segment of that song feels like the band locking into a comfortable Grateful Dead vibe. I bet it's great live.

Not crazy about this on first listen. But it probably has its place and time. I’ll give it more spins at different times to figure out where and when those are, and there were certainly stand outs.

Went to my local store today to find a physical copy of it but apparently it's not coming to stores until RSD? Picked up a used CD of Schmilco instead which :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Man this thing gets better and better. When the dust settles, there might be 2-3 songs I’d cut.

Current favorites are:

Cruel Country
Hints
Bird Without a Tail/Base of My Skull
The Universe
Many Worlds
Hearts Hard To Find
Falling Apart
Story to Tell
A Lifetime to Find
Country Song Upside Down
Mystery Binds

(Yes that’s 11 songs, but there are 10 others on the album)
