  Instead of repeating the polished melancholy of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, this record wanders into stranger, darker territory: long guitar meditations, nervous repetition, and songs that feel emotionally unfinished on purpose. Jeff Tweedy sounds exhausted but lucid, and the band turns that uncertainty into atmosphere. It doesn't hurt that Tweedy's writing was still next level. "Hell Is Chrome", "Spiders (Kidsmoke)", "Handshake Drugs", and many others stand up to anything else in the Wilco catalog.
