With Summerteeth, they've delivered on both counts, crafting an album as wonderfully ambiguous and beautifully uncertain as life itself.

What is summer teeth even supposed to mean huh
As the precursor to one of my favorite indie albums of the 2000s, I’d say that this is a pretty great defining album for their sound. Yeah I don’t think it quite lives up to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but there are some really great songs on here and the album is pretty consistent the whole way through. I think that the sound is a tiny bit more raw here as well, where on Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born, it’s a bit more colorful and clean. ... read more
Honestly, this album keeps growing on me, and it may be better than YHF, not sure. Wilco's third official album, summerteeth, is in my opinion probably their best work. It's insanely strong from start to finish, there are no misses on this at all, and the highs are REALLY high. Jeff Tweedy's songwriting paired with jay Bennets subtle experimentation and ability to fill in the gaps here work so well together.
Can't Stand It, the opener, has a pretty cool story behind it. ... read more
Wilco - 4/16
With “Summerteeth,” Wilco decisively head into an indie-rock direction. The country elements are still occasionally felt but they are no longer at the forefront; instead the band opt for a cleaner vibe that, for the most part, benefits their style greatly.

It's absolutely incredible and for sure their most accessible album, packed full of energy, joy and glee.
A very good album. Feels very connected, and there are some really great tracks on here. Via Chicago, HTFL, and Summer Teeth are my favs. Jeff Tweedy is such a good songwriter, but his amazing vocals are really what help to drive his projects home. Great stuff.
