I've been hearing Long Way Down for like a year /year and a half. So this album was much anticipated. After playing it for my 68-year old mother, she liked it so much I gave her my copy. Don't let that fool you, my 16 and 12 year old sons like it too.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who fell in love with SOB the first time I heard it. Feel good song of the year, and the rest of the album is almost as good. I've played this for a bunch of people at a party and everyone loved it. Several bought it the next day.
21 years and 9 albums the band is as fresh as ever. I keep waiting for the day to say Tweedy and Wilco are slipping, and thankfully I don't have to.After Yankee Hotel and A Ghost Is Born, Wilco has had some high expectations to live up to. Star Wars doesn't disappoint.
This was the first TV on the Radio cd I bought. "Could You", "Happy Idiot"and the hit "Careful You" will leave you wanting more. Also check out "Dear Science" and "Return to Cookie Mountain" when you wear this cd out.
Bought this on the strength of the song "Love Runs Out" but the entire cd is equally as good. For a band I thought would be a bit too pop for my taste, I was wrong.
