For some reason, YHFT never really connected for me so I do think Bennet and Burch's disc is better. It is pretty obvious where the 'Summerteeth' sound came from!!!
I don't know if I like Palace at 4am better than YHF but I'd say probably as much. I was surprised how good a record it is. I saw Bennett and Burch live a few months ago - in front of about 20 people in NYC on a Monday night - and they were great.
And I love that rock version of Kamera on the DVD. I'm glad somebody mentioned that. I put on the DVD a lot just to listen to that one track.
Just my opinion, but I think this record is a much better listen than YHFT. Not to throw off on Tweedy, but I can only take so much of the experimental noise thing. By the way, anyone else like the rock version of Kamera off of the Wilco DVD?
