Warner Bros. in 2001 rejected the album for not being a commercial enough follow-up to the great "Summer Teeth", leading Wilco to a long road that finally saw the release of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" in 2002 on Nonesuch

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" is the best album I have heard this year and the best album Wilco has ever made

that Wilco would re-release their A.M. under some new cosmic-sonically enhanced 3-D media

So anyway, this "career" killer got Wilco the biggest exposure of their career, a bevy

According to almost every form of media I can think of I should love Wilco, all the 5 star reviews hailing them as the saviors of rock and the best indie band around

I thought I could never replace Radiohead, but Wilco proved me wrong

When the album was finally released, it was met with universal critical acclaim and, to add a delicious bit of irony, has gone on to be the most commercially successful Wilco album yet

Wilco's beautiful alt-country tunes get manipulated into something even more beautiful

After reading about the struggle Wilco had to get this album issued, I really wanted to like it.

One of my favorite Wilco albums!

Easily my favorite Wilco album of the five I own currently with Schmilco bringing up 2nd

I just found out that Wilco was sued for using the "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" soundbite without permission

But Wilco also shows maturity in songs such as Ashes of the American Flag, and Poor Places, as well as Jesus Etc., showing the band is capable of the same esoteric lyrics and metaphors as their British counterpart, but never losing touch with the audience

Wilco has most certainly gotten better since the first two albums "AM" and "Being There".

I bought this album because I have other Wilco tracks I like and recommender systems kept popping this one up.

Wilco is quickly becoming a favorite of mine

Wilco has always been obsessed with the radio and it shows on this album, more than ever before

One is reminded of the famous 2002 Wilco gig in Austin

I say this because I think Wilco's future lies in the hands of fans of these more exploratory musicians, rather than in the backward looking minds of the fans of Johnny Cash and Ralph Stanley (not that there is anything wrong with either).

I just found out that Wilco was sued for using the "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" soundbite without permission.

This is by far my favorite Wilco album, but it is more than that.

and "Ashes of American Flags" are two of the best Wilco songs ever made.

Also known as: when Wilco became really good

For my money the first Mermaid Avenue is the best work Wilco has done.

I like Wilco, which is why I put off buying this CD for quite a while; anything that receives so much unrelenting praise is immediately suspect to me

Let me start by saying that I like Wilco....a lot.

This is the type of music that anyone who likes a good rock album could potentially like, even if Wilco doesn't seem like your cup of tea.

Not only does it hang together all of a piece, the instrumentation and the sound of this record are a far cry from the garage-rock-cum-country of late Uncle Tupelo/early Wilco

I like Wilco, which is why I put off buying this CD for quite a while; anything that receives so much unrelenting praise is immediately suspect to me

I was never any kind of country fan before, and I loved Wilco when I got their first album "A.M." several years ago - which anyone would now call Wilco's most twangy album and far different from their music today

If the band simply played these songs straight, as I suppose they must in concert, unless they resort to MIDI gimmicks or something, then this would simply have been another good Wilco album.

what robotic take on the country-folk rock that made Wilco (semi)-famous

I just found out that Wilco was sued for using the "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" soundbite without permission

very little Wilco can mess up and this definetely is not a train wreck

this is the fist wilco cd that i have bought, and i really like it as a whole

I could just imagine how unbeleivably dull Wilco would be live.

A Ghost Is Born is my favorite Wilco album, but it really doesn't matter

Having said that, they are not over the top about it, you simply here the influences and some techniques, but Wilco's own sound dominates

Wilco's Iconic album - true classic!

There style is so creative and inspiring and as a musician, I strive to be half as cool as wilco.

Wilco's lyrics and music are not immediatly catchy, except for a couple of songs, but the word immediate is the key one

I actually felt disappointed by it in a way that now seems inexplicable to me, especially since it has become my favorite Wilco CD over time.

I really like Wilco.

Conceptually, I do love Wilco

Before I listened to this record, I thought that "Summerteeth" was my favorite Wilco album

Oh yeah, Wilco kills 'em live!

and I recommend Wilco to everyone when their mood needs to change.

I honestly thought that the friend who recommended Wilco to me, calling them "the best band in America," was out of his mind

As with The Strokes "Is This It?" in 2001, Wilco has been blessed as the magazines

First, is the fact that most if not ALL the die hard Wilco fans having the album already on mp3 will affect the sales- something that will surely have marketing executives all over the world watching in the next month or so

I liked Wilco before this album, but YHF made a believer of me

I have enjoed wilco's past work, but in my opinion, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is their best.

One of my favorite wilco albums in a beautiful package

Wilco gets better with every album they release.

Wilco was ready to release this outstanding accomplishment of an album in 2001, but Reprise (its former label) didn't hear a single

With expectations low after their exit from Warner/Reprise, 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' is Wilco's shining masterpiece, twangy roots-rock meets neo-psychadelia

I just found out that Wilco was sued for using the "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" soundbite without permission

I applaud Wilco for trying to bring something different to a large audience in this day and age

One of the best Wilco albums

Now, unlike many people have mourned earlier, I don't think this album is an absolute departure from what Wilco has been hailed for before

wilco crafted this beautiful, dark, quiet, noisy, and challenging artistic record

Enough Wilco fans are deriding this that I'd say that it's safe to say "Diehard fans only"

Wilco has really mastered the sound of feedback and noise.

Wilco is the best band working today

He has done the same for Stereolab, and if you're a Wilco fan who appreciates this disc, I recommend you give Stereolab's more recent outings a try, as well as O'Rourke's solo albums, "Halfway to a Threeway" and "Bad Timing."An excellent marriage of band and

Wilco has created a masterpiece

I really enjoyed Wilco's recordings with Billy Bragg and "AM" but this one is way undercooked for songs with meaning and musicians that can play, and overcooked with effects and garbled "I always wanted to be a Beatle" type retro wanking

This year, I had the incredible fortune of discovering both Wilco and YHF for the first time, even attending one of their concerts this past summer, too

Do not comapre it to Kid A, radiohead lost their way on that one, Wilco is just finding thiers

Wilco's considerable talents would be best spent elsewhere...

First let me say that I like Wilco, I liked Summer

Wilco truly deserves the attention, and the subtle details of the CD really flourish when they are listened to properly.

, it had too much ambient noise; however, after hearing it a little more in conjunction with other wilco albums and other music that is currently being released it is an album that makes you appreciate wilco for being one of the first bands in a long time that actually develops with each album

Wilco is so adventurous formally and

I went and bought Wilco and have never regretted it!

If you love Wilco, this is a must have...especially if they're not planning on releasing it in the States.

Iam trying to break your heart' works well with its enriched sounds that are very 'Enoish', 'Kamera' is more upbeat Wilco, 'War on War' continues with the poppiness,'Heavy metal drummer' is really a dancy beat/rootsy song, etc

The last song is just "pretty" like Wilco saying you made it through the album and now it will just nice, peaceful sounds

I loved Wilco's AM, and every record since then by

If you haven't heard the story, Wilco was dumped by their label, Reprise, because their new album wasn't mainstream enough and didn't quite fit the band's marketed image as alternative-country popsters.

If you don't like that Wilco has transformed from their beginnings, then don't buy the fu**ing album.

thanks wilco.

It was the best of Uncle Tupelo, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Neil Young - not to mention just pure original Wilco

Trout Mask Replica".In spite of the massive critical acclaim, I feel Wilco is breaking away from what they do best (as on their albums "A.M." and "Being There"), and going into Pink Floydesque flights of fancy.

I just found out that Wilco was sued for using the "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" soundbite without permission.

Hopefully next time Wilco will putforth a little more enthusiasm.

A great example is my favorite Wilco track

I can only think the critics were trying to make up for overlooking Wilco all these years with a glowing review when they didn't earn it.

Tweedy may lean C&W, but he understands Pop.

Opening with the strange yet beautiful "I
