Additional Summerteeth Information
|
Wilco's de facto frontman, Jeff Tweedy, sports a colorful past, one where he wrote paint-peelers dedicated to late Minutemen founder D. Boon as a member of the feted (and maybe fated) Uncle Tupelo and where he dolefully crooned Woody Guthrie lyrics on 1998's Mermaid Avenue. But Wilco's Summer Teeth shows hardly a tatter of Tweedy's herky-jerky postpunk intensity or the agrarian rootsiness that so often came in the past from him. Instead this layered album spreads its digits far into guitar-heavy Britpop, with full-group backing vocals carrying bouncy choruses and synths whistling over the melodies. The tunes sound like a crosshatch of orchestral plans and an execution drawing on Alex Chilton and Big Star, the Kinks, and, only distantly, Wilco's debut, A.M. "We're Just Friends" and "Via Chicago" stand as harmonized twists on ballad formulas, the latter recalling Mermaid Avenue's "California Stars" with the opening line, "I dreamed about killing you again last night / And it felt all right to me." So it's not always uplifting or cheery, but it's got dozens of surprises in a mere 15 songs. --Andrew Bartlett

I love it. This is the album that took Wilco from alt-rock novelty to just straight alt. It's my favorite album, well written songs that meander around a bit but ultimately have a perfect balance.
i can't say enough about this album,it fulfills all the promise from the first two albums.you can all of jeff tweedy's influences ,brian wilson etc.this album was before he fell in love with overproducing.wilco has begun to get some well deserved recognition.i am 53 and when i hear a younger person talking about some of wilco's later efforts,i say i like some of the music on them ,but they have to check out summerteeth
This is an amazing album. But this album certainly fits that description for me. Rarely do you own an album where you like every track. Maybe those days are gone.
Bring Back Wilco. A true multi-layered, overproduced effort with none of the small studio-jam feel of, say, "AM" or "Being There". There were maybe 2 or 3 tracks on this CD that were even close to "good". The remainder was like Herman's Hermits meets the Beatles meets Moody Blues and ran the gambit from bubble-gum to downright sappy.
Many of the songs are the type that have a melody which is hardly memorable.Also, the sound quality isn't that good. In my opinion Summerteeth is overrated. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot beats this in every single way in my opinion. While it is better than other popular albums, it sounds too trebly and the levels are a bit too high. In it, Wilco's music has changed from something unique and beautiful into average pop music. I prefer Yankee Hotel Foxtrot far better than this.
