I don't know why more bands haven't figured this out. I'll happily spend money on a band which, besides enjoying their music, I feel "respects" me. Generally, indie and jam bands are better at this, and it's nice to see that a band of Wilco's stature gets it. On a side note, I love all the previous Wilco albums, but I really dislike this one. Way too singer-songwriterish, which is a genre I generally hate. Knowing Tweedy however, I'm sure he'll be back with something completely different (and good) next time around.
