Yankee Foxtrot Hotel

April 22, 2002

Tomorrow is the official and much anticipated release date of Wilco's Yankee Foxtrot Hotel. The story is long and, for once, well described by Pitchfork. I usually dislike their review style and opinions, but I'm with them for their Wilco review. Typically, they'll begin their reviews with an unnecessary (read: boring) intro and then spend a couple hundred words on the album. In this case, their format works because Yankee Foxtrot Hotel definitely has a story.

So if you know nothing about this album then go check out the review. Oh, and even if you have the album please go buy it this week. Major labels have to learn that singles don't always sell albums.
