Another notable album from the 2000s that was delayed due to label issues is Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. This album was scheduled to be released in 2001 (on 9/11/01 actually), but was pushed back to April 2002 when it was rejected by Warner/Reprise. The band ended up buying it back from the label and releasing it on Nonesuch (a Warner/Reprise subsidiary), which is like sticking it to the man by taking money from his left pocket and putting it back in his right pocket.
Still, despite all the drama behind the back story of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, the album itself was really good. Here's my favorite track "Heavy Metal Drummer" from the film I Am Trying To Break Your Heart.
