	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Summerteeth
		And both artists released an album beforehand that arguably was a better "front to back" listen, yet their follow-up was so ambitious that it inevitably was known as a better "album." In short, in rock star algebra terms...
		Summerteeth would be the last full-length album Jay Bennett would record with Wilco.
		Summerteeth was Wilco's last straightforward album, sort of… Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born definitely upped the experimentation.

	Summerteeth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Summerteeth is a 1999 album by the band Wilco.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Summer Teeth - Wilco at Epinions.com
		Summerteeth, Wilco's third after the inessential A.M. and the brilliant double album Being There, is their most on-point album, if not their absolute best--- that's Being There.
		And that's Summerteeth: glibly ironic indie-pop where reverence for classic pop and R&B interacts with a clear reverence for sarcasm and irony.
		Possibly the best thing about Summerteeth is this: that, while nothing is what it seems, it doesn't matter--- because what Summerteeth IS and what it SEEMS to be are both strikingly wonderful.

	Wilco - Summerteeth (Album Review)
		The group's last effort Being There contained hints that the band was going to move in a new direction, and this undoubtedly was fueled further by the addition of Jay Bennett.
		In essence, Summerteeth is a concept album that digs deep into the dark corners of Tweedy’s mind, and the story revolves around the insecurities and temptations of life on the road.
		Throughout Summerteeth, Wilco incorporates an enormous array of influences — a list that is so long it’s impossible to enumerate here — and there’s a pervading spirit of estranged love that seems plucked straight from John Lennon’s Walls and Bridges.

		The first seven notes of Summerteeth grabs your attention with one of the catchiest guitar hooks in years.
		A heady mix of hopeful and depressing songs, Summerteeth is at times disconcerting, but maybe that’s the point.
		Summerteeth manages to incorporate all of these 60s and 70s influences into a 90s sound that isn’t the least bit derivative.

	"Summerteeth" by Wilco - zBoneman Music Reviews
		Summerteeth is most unmistakably influenced by the Replacements/Paul Westerberg--the vocal resemblance is uncanny, as are the song structuring and clever word-play.
		Summerteeth is the best album to come along so far this year, it's a very accessible record that compares well to the latest efforts by Supergrass, Barenaked Ladies, Cake, and Semisonic.
		Just like a dream, Summerteeth fooled me into believing that The Beatles never broke up, John and Jerry were alive and well and the Replacements were still together, kicking ass in their touchingly reckless way.

	Eye Weekly - The low-key charm of Wilco - 04.15.99
		Summerteeth is certainly wide-ranging and ambitious -- even for Wilco, who came out with a sprawling double CD after their debut album, A.M., enjoyed modest sales.
		In the past we'd just say, 'Well, this song just doesn't want to be on the record.' And we stuck to it with a few songs on this record, 'cause we knew something would happen.
		Summerteeth also features some surprisingly dark lyrics about loneliness and violence, sung by the laid-back Tweedy to some very pretty melodies.

	The Music Box: Wilco at Riviera Theatre in Chicago, IL on May 7, 1999
		Their latest release, the brilliant Summerteeth, contains a vast array of musical colors and textures that draw upon a virtual encyclopedia of rock and pop influences.
		While the elaborately arranged and orchestrated compositions on Summerteeth seem to stand in sharp contrast to the music of Uncle Tupelo, underneath all the shimmering studio wizardry, the songs are still pure Tweedy.
		This further established the flow and mood developed on their new album and gave this part of the show the premeditated, conceptual disposition of a mini-rock opera.

		Summerteeth formed around June 2001 in the small Somerset town of Frome where there is little to do other than drink or play music (if your productive, that is).
		They have an average age of 19 and comprise of brothers Tom and Ben, along with their friends from school Pat and Tilly.
		A handful of gigs later Summerteeth spent a day recording several songs for their demo E.p.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Wilco - March 9, 1999 - Summerteeth Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		On Summerteeth, “Via Chicago” follows “How To Fight Loneliness.” Tweedy’s solution to the titular problem: “Just smile all the time.” He sings it with the utmost sincerity—a lounge singer recycling advice passed down from parents and ex-girlfriends and trying desperately to believe it—but we know he lies.
		Musically, Summerteeth hints at the post-apocalyptic Americana sound that Wilco mine on the recent Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but on this 1999 album the band seems more at home with the bar band elegance of, say, Sticky Fingers-era Rolling Stones.
		At its heart, Summerteeth sources his instability as the difference between the two.

	Is Wilco Overrated? - OverTheRhine.COM -- Orchard
		I think it strange that they are the critics' darlings, much as Radiohead was for a time, even though the music got progressively wierder and wierder and they alienated most their fans.
		And I almost bought A Ghos is Born the other day, but refrained due the prospect that they might have gone back to their Summerteeth roots.
		Summerteeth is by far Wilco's best album and probably most underated.

	Yankee Hotel Foxtrot \| The A.V. Club
		Making a proper debut after a long season of bootlegs, streaming audio, and live performances, Yankee confirms what fans have long suspected: Wilco was right, the label was wrong, and the album could be the best of the band's career.
		Yankee takes the sonic experimentation of Summerteeth a step further, and like Radiohead, a group with which it has little else in common, Wilco seems to only get better the further out it goes.
		But its success has much to do with the fact that it stays tethered, however tensely, to its pop and country roots.

		And "Summerteeth" is no less than a pop gem.
		From the opening track "I Can't Stand It" and its gloomy message ("our prayers will never be answered again"), you can see that this isn't exactly the most happy CD on shelves.
		What the easy-to-like "Summerteeth" may lack in bite, it makes up for by being a rare album where every morsel is a tasty one.

	Summerteeth Review \| Wilco \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		But Wilco's Summerteeth shows hardly a tatter of Tweedy's herky-jerky postpunk intensity or the agrarian rootsiness that so often came in the past from him.
		Summerteeth was a big turning point for Wilco's music.
		If I lost my Summerteeth, I would absolutely get it again.

	SoundStage! Music Editorial - Wilco's Triumph
		A friend of mine gave me a copy of their third disc, Summerteeth, when YHF came out, and to my ears it’s Wilco’s masterpiece so far.
		On Summerteeth, Jeff Tweedy, the band’s primary songwriter (although the liner notes credit the band as a whole with the songs), gave himself over to melody and wasn’t too proud to borrow from cheesy '70s AM pop if it gave him what he was looking for.
		The lyrics are sometimes brutal, but the music has a lightness and buoyancy that make the disc both disturbing and beautiful.

		The gothic melodrama of Slow Me Down bears a passing resemblance to Muse and Nine Inch Nails, but in truth, Summerteeth are a band who defy comparison.
		The glacial post-rock flourishes of Story of the Universe and 11 Kinds of Loneliness recall Hope of the States at their most overblown, whilst New York (Peggy Sue) provides a mellow, evocative respite.
		Two years from now, Ill be laughing all the way to Barclays as I sell my Summerteeth demos for several hundred pounds on eBay.

		The same year, Tweedy worked with members of Soul Asylum and the Jayhawks in the band Golden Smog.
		Summerteeth manages to incorporate all of these 60s and 70s influences into a modern sound that isn't the least bit derivative.
		Undoubtedly, these guys are musicians first, and while the music makes Summerteeth more enjoyable with each play, the lyrics start to kick in with repeated listening.

		Jan 3 2005, 09:52 PM Summerteeth is by far Wilco's best album and probably most underated.
		Those teams are full of guys who needed to go to the all-star games years sooner; and the fans, press, et al., give them retroactive praise at a time when it's not totally deserved.
		Most of the stuff on Summerteeth was spiffy sounding too, and well written.

	Concert Preview: Wilco blazes a new trail through the pop landscape
		If that makes it an easier sell than "Summerteeth," that point was lost on Wilco's label, whose reaction came as no surprise to Stirratt.
		And more people seemed to know the material live than they had when 'Summerteeth' was out for a month.
		And proof, he says, that letting people hear your music on the Internet for free is ultimately good for business.

		Wilco are touring behind their great album SummerTeeth, which was released back in the spring.
		SummerTeeth leaves behind their older country-rock based sound in favor of near-perfect pop reminiscent of the Beach Boys and the Beatles.
		Their main set was mostly based around SummerTeeth songs but they also played some older songs, such as “I Must Be High” and “I Got You (At the End of the Century”.

		It was with Summerteeth that Wilco began taking a lot more chances.
		Summerteeth also had its share of blips, bleeps, tape loops, and other forms of near-found noise.
		In between, Wilco had cut Mermaid Avenue, an album of previously unpublished lyrics by Woody Guthrie set to new music by the band and collaborator Billy Bragg.

	Wilco - Magnet, June/July 2002
		YHF is the smoking gun in the case for Wilco being the new Great American Band--a torch-passing tradition that stretches from prime R.E.M. to the Band to Bob Dylan, who got it from Woody Guthrie, who picked it up from Carl Sandburg, who had it passed to him by Walt Whitman.
		Picking up where Summerteeth left off, Tweedy wanted to continue moving away from the band's early rip-it-up live aesthetic and into heretofore uncharted territories of mood, vibe and sound.
		Klein's replacement, Tom Whalley, was busy tying up loose ends at his post at Interscope, and David Kahne, senior vice president of A&R at Reprise, was acting as label head in the interim.

		While the band's last record, Summerteeth, held on to the last few connecting threads to Wilco's country roots ("She's a Jar," "Via Chicago"), Yankee Hotel Foxtrot snips them completely, not even attempting to keep an affiliation with any sort of roots rock.
		Yankee Hotel Foxtrot lacks the poppiness of Summerteeth, save for "Heavy Metal Drummer," "Kamera" and "I'm the Man Who Loves You." But fans of a Wilco as heard on Summerteeth and the second Guthrie-inspired Billy Bragg/Wilco partnership Mermaid Avenue II will be delighted with the band's decision to continue on their non-country road.
		Others hoping Summerteeth was a passing phase may not be so pleased.

	Wilco - Illinois Entertainer, May 2002
		From the dense sonic jungle of their previous album, Summerteeth, the band's music has traveled to an urban desert, where its most striking elements--Tweedy's voice and songs, the ultimately hopeful lyrical threads weaving together shreds of gritty reality, the thematic device, in this case mixed-up communication--tower in higher relief over sparser, less organic musical terrain.
		And on a conceptual level, I felt like the main difference is that on Summerteeth the music was there to kind of contradict the narration of the songs...to contrast it and make it seem to be less heavy and more interesting than someone just complaining.
		We were out on the road like we were supposed to be in the same time period, and people knew our record better than maybe when Summerteeth was out for six months.

	Comments for Wilco: Summerteeth - Playing God - Stylus Magazine
		I would also cut "Summerteeth" itself, keep "Via Chicago" and I definitely prefer "How To Fight Loneliness" to "We're Just Friends", though I wouldn't ditch the latter.
		I love Summerteeth - I'd say the only song I'd drop is When You Wake Up Feeling Old.
		It never quite stuck with me. Of course, the NG,OR reference was the first of many hooks here, Ian.

	Wilco's 'Summerteeth' mixes pleasure with pain
		Though the band probably has the most cohesive and creative CD of 2002, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Wilco had two prior but equally incredible albums that are definitely worth checking out: 1996's Being There, and 1999's Summerteeth.
		These ironic contradictions, along with lush atmospheric pop music, fill Summerteeth with a dream-like sound, leading the listener to differentiate between the world Wilco creates in the album and what actually exists.
		The song topics range from drug addiction to spousal abuse to loneliness to depression to other topics that are largely ignored on rock albums.

	Greg Kot: Wilco: Learning How to Die [2004] Shaking Through.net: Books: Review
		After an unnecessary detour into the background of No Depression magazine, Kot regains his footing and documents the creation of Summerteeth, a lyrically bleak but summery, pop-sounding record that proves to be Wilco's dramatic break from its earlier, roots-oriented sound.
		Hunkering down with Bennett in the studio (to the chagrin and ultimate alienation of other band members), Tweedy taps into deeper emotions, inspired, in part, by his reading of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer.
		With Summerteeth, Tweedy finds his voice as a songwriter, no longer trading on familiar folk, rock and country traditions, finding a more personal means of expression, less literal and more arresting.
