The Autumn Defense\u2019s  is the fourth album from Wilco members John Stirratt and Pat Sansone,  which makes them a side project of the famous indie band. All I have to  say is, why not stick with playing in Wilco and leave side projects for  musicians who actually have something interesting to contribute to the  music community? At times, <em>Once Around<\/em> sounds like it\u2019s trying to emulate sixties pop\/rock. The result is  stale, ignorable, commercial pop music that one mocks when it frequently  appears as background music in the latest formulaic romantic comedy. I  will say that this is NOT the worst music I\u2019ve ever heard. The title  track starts out with Wilco\u2019s signature picking on acoustic guitar and  the drums focused on tom, bass and hi-hat. However, the song\u2019s  uninspired lyrics: (\u201cYou are my only one \/ When it\u2019s said and done \/ My  heart beats one by one\u201d) and bland pop vocal styling are the ultimate  downfall of this album.
