Why on earth are so many people afraid of changes?

Ultimately, I think people will find that he still refuses to censor himself.

The result is music that is so pure that quite frankly it doesn't take a scientist to see why it freaks people out

Some people complain that the avant-garde sounds serve to hide deficiencies in the songs (which may be slightly more true on A Ghost is Born), but I think those sounds are very important to the album, tying every thing together very beautifully

There is a reason this album is so critically lauded; it's the single most representative portrait of 21st century America that has been painted thus far; a people, hopeful in the face of a mechanical world

This seems to be one of those discs that people love it or hate it

Many bands evolve over time, and I hate people who cry about it.

Most people should love it

I beg you... don't encourage these people

This album in more fragements, of which strong singles such as 'Heavy Metal Drummer' may entice people in, then expose them to 'Pot Kettle Black' or 'Reservations'.

I beg you... don't encourage these people.

For one thing, with the intricate sound of this album, there's a real noticeable difference from the mp3.Also, I for one am tired of seeing the blank stares from cool people who have good music taste when I tell them who my favorite band is

People feel cheated if their initial experience with an album of this sort is anything short of orgasmic

I beg you... don't encourage these people

I beg you... don't encourage these people

If you spend some quality time listening to this cd, i mean really listening, not just having it on in the background while you drive or anything, but really listening, you'll see why people are so obsessed with this album.

I beg you... don't encourage these people

People new to Wilco, beware of this album - it is great for various reasons, but it will be a difficult pill to swallow for new listeners.

Why are so many people so protective of bands that they like?

People who liked the more pop-oriented Summerteeth may not enjoy it, either, although there are echoes of that release on this one (the tracks "Kamera," "Heavy Metal Drummer," and "Pot Kettle Black," for example)

Ever since, I've been listening to it over and over, trying to figure out what people find so great about it

TX when Tweedy's genius finally boiled over, killing some 70 people in the crowd.

This is possibly Wilco's master work; opening with a swelling of cacophony over a stead light drum beat, Jeff Tweedy sounds like a man just roused from a dream, and realizing he's surrounded by unfamiliar people and things.

So many people recommended it to me that I went out and bought it without hearing a single track.

And obviously you can see how this too would creep people out
