    The first track opens with eerie delight, flowing robes of graceful musical prowess, the CD enters the room to swim in my audio canal.  I am hooked from its' very beginning, like a young brook trout getting his first glimpse at a Mickey Finn.  I have to have it!  And more!  The building bass line, the doping drum track, the glistening guitars, the controlled mayhem that ends this 7-minute track has totally staked its' claim on my brain.  And like a gambler with a hot hand, I'm all in.  Fuzzy guitar fun follows with a track called "I Might".  Frankly, I might suggest you'll love this record!  Keyboards mince the air in a glorious array of brightly beaming sound, bringing further overlay to an already amazing landscape , putting more stones on the wall.  The album is seemingly less scattered than some of Wilco's efforts- this one is more along the lines of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which left the listener gleefully bullied by sonic sullenness. I won't say any more, urging you, the reader, the listener, to decide for yourself.  Wilco fan or not, this is fun rock 'n roll that will leave you with a yearning for so much more!  It'll urge you to find the whole love.  Rock on!
