Wilco is once again streaming there new album before it's release.  "A Ghost
Is Born" is available for streaming at www.wilcoweb.net.  After a few
listens, it sounds like it may appeal to a wider range of people on this
list.  

I consider Yankee Hotel Foxtrot a masterpiece, so I'm trying to give this
one the benefit of the doubt...follow-up syndrome and all.  This sounds like
the album that Warner Bros probably wanted in the first place - a lot of
poppy piano-based songs that could've rode the Ben Folds hit wave, with some
(too?) long experimental jams to keep it interesting - but also less
original sounding.  This might end up being a grower...but right now it only
strikes me as a nice batch of songs.
