This album continues to only get better for me as time goes on. In almost any other case, a 75-minute soft rock album is going to be a total non-starter for me, but when literally every song is perfect, it's pretty tough to argue with stuffing this thing as full as possible as they did. It was an obvious creative surge moment for them that continued at the highest level for another three or four albums, but for me, this is when Wilco became Wilco. "Misunderstood," "Outtasite (Outta Mind)," "Monday," "Say You Miss Me," "The Lonely 1," I could go on and on with naming classic tracks from this record.
