A “solid” or “sturdy” album—which is certainly what Wilco (The Album) is—would be acceptable from many bands, but not Wilco.

Q. Counting the live release and the “Mermaid Avenue’’ albums you did with Billy Bragg, this is Wilco’s 10th record. It’s been almost 15 years since the first. Has that time gone by quickly for you?
