Although Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is one of the most critically acclaimed albums ever, it's a damn shame to see people ignoring the other music that Wilco has made over the past decade and a half. Their 1999 prequel to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Summerteeth, is a very emotionally involving album that plays a chord on the heartstrings no less than YHF, but it is significantly less popular for some reason. One listen to "How To Fight Loneliness" and you will understand what I mean. The numb melodies under Tweedy's voice establish a pained exasperation on "She's A Jar," but the lyrics leave you guessing. It's probably better that way.
Don't let this one slip by if you haven't heard it yet.
Get it here and buy it here.
