I love this album, probably surprising no one. I always meant to dig into Bragg but never have.

Personally, I enjoy a lot more of Bragg's work than Wilco's. The latter has never fully clicked for me, even though there are albums, songs, and associated projects that I do love. But Bragg's music, especially his early albums, speak to me in a very enjoyable way that engages my thoughts more fully with the music making it more active listening than just enjoyable listening. Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy is a brilliant start and one I love returning to. Strongly recommend starting with that debut if you dip your toes in his catalog.

I did not know about this Documentary.I've been spinning this album constantly this spring and summer. I'm not too familiar with Bragg either, and this was one of the last Wilco albums I came to when first exploring them about a decade ago. It's right up there with their best regular studio albums.
"California Stars" is obviously a great song but might be their most overrated. "Walt Whitman's Niece" is an incredible opener and sets the perfect tone for the record. 5/5.
Also recommend the doc Man in the Sand on the story behind and making of this album.

I loved this album before I was an audiophile (or aware of the condition). I blame De La Soul.If you want to show off your system, have your friends over.

It’s a wonderful album excellently crafted. superb musically with biting hilarious lyrics. What’s not to love.
Aja and Joni Mitchell’s mid 70s output share much of the same influences sonically speaking. Also Japanese City Pop of the late 70s and early 80s was deeply indebted to Steely Dan’s fusion of Jazz and Rock music.
Was that before or after you escaped from @Mather ’s murder dungeon?Bonafide classic. Back in 2020, i would listen to this thing several times in a row.
