Constant touring and the release of the full album on the internet only made fans and labels alike froth at the mouth. Almost a year later, Nonesuch Records became the new home for Wilco. The kicker: Nonesuch is owned by Time Warner. Paying for an album twice, explain that to the CEO's. None of this would matter though if the songs weren't absolute perfection. 11 glorious tracks symbolizing pain, reflection, and most of all, love. When Jeff Tweedy sings "I've got reservations about so many things, but not about you," you get the feeling that maybe, just maybe, he's singing about this album, and these songs. His blood is on these tracks. Integrity? Insurmountable. Compromise? Never. Released in March, nothing else ever came close in 2002
