The album picks up with "Kamera", a more traditional Wilco song, but is halted by the masterful lament of "Radio Cure

The drums are cool though.- "Kamera" has considerably more musical direction and is a pretty nice little tune.- On "Radio Cure," Tweedy seems to pick an arbitrary moment out of the blue to start singing (or whining, depending on your point of view), but the track does turn into a fairly intriguing mood piece.- I would say "Jesus, etc

Then, upon talking to a friend whose favorite cut was the slow, somber "Radio Cure," I decided to go back and give a new try to the tracks I didn't normally listen to, particularly "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart," "Radio Cure," "Poor Places," and "Reservations."

Radio Cure takes some getting used to, but you'll soon see the brilliance

That's how I felt, and singer, Jeff Tweedy touches on the same theme of cultural disenchantment in "Radio Cure," as he expresses confusion at "radio cures" and "electronic surgical wars."When our President used 9/11 to justify a misguded war, the song "War on War" is utterly powerful and relevant

the bouncier tracks, like "radio cure", and "heavy metal drummer" break up the dense, sullen nature of this record

The cd opener is a solid track, like all the rest of them, but the best tracks are Radio Cure, a beautiful piece exuding pathos, the upbeat and fuzzy War on War, and the saccharine pop tune, Heavy Metal Drummer

Radio Cure" is one of my favorite songs ever, and the line "Distance has no way making love understandable" is perhaps one of the best quotes about love since it speaks on so many levels

Not a single track is a dud, from the mid-Western love ballad 'Jesus etc' to the downbeat dark builder 'Radio Cure', the sparse 'Ashes of American Flags' and the more straightforward pop of 'War on War' and 'Heavy Metal Drummer'

Some songs that really got to me on this album were Radio Cure and Reservations.
