Here’s an anti-Wilco smackdown, filled mostly with rock-crit gibberish, by Stephen Metcalf on Slate. While I certainly love Jeff Tweedy and Co. and consider “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” the album of the decade, I’m a bit underwhelmed with “A Ghost is Born,” I’ve gotta say. It’s been compared to “Kid A,” and like “Kid A” I fully expect it’ll take me three or four years to appreciate it.
