One of the top ten albums of all time

Review Score: (10/10)
Jeff Tweedy and Wilco tell the tales of Broken Hearts and Lonely Roads better than anyone I've ever heard. The simple structure of the songs allows the pure emotions to surface and breathe. The first time I listened to this album I liked it, then I loved it, now I couldn't live without it! It is that good-maybe better.
