Critically Oversold!, Mar 13 2005

The critical popularity of this disc is rather mystifying. Its inclusion on many of the "best of" lists of 2004 is even stranger. All in all it's just rather dull and badly executed. Tweedy sounds like he is trying to emulate the sort of guitar attack that Neil Young adopts with Crazy Horse, but his playing is underwhelming. He tries to make use of the volume, and the feedback, but it escapes him, and just sounds amateurish.
