I like some of their stuff a lot, and then I really dislike some of it as well...can be a little to whiny and emotional at time and just right at others. Saw them once and it was great, and the next time was awful. Lover I don't have to Love, You are the Roots, Perfect Sonnet etc are great though... and that song that goes "onto the stage, i was pushed, with my sorrow well rehearsed so give me all your pity and your money" is awesome too
Theyre good but then it was printed somewhere that oberst could be the next Bob Dylan and that really made me mad
I really like Fevers and Mirrors. They're one of my faverioute bands, but I don't like the new stuff that much.
I love Bright Eyes. <3 They played near where I live the other week and I missed 'em, was devastated. =| My favourite songs are: A Scale, A Mirror And These Indifferent Clocks From A Balance Beam A Line Allows Progress, A Circle Does Not Bowl Of Oranges.. Etc, etc. =|
why? it's a double compliment: Dylan is the singer songwriter benchmark and these folks are almost that good. although it could be lazy speaker/writer Dylan is matched by many not as well known singer-songwriters (Kate Wolf, Townes Van Zandt) but everyone knows his name.
i love bright eyes. i hope the next album oberst puts out is like i'm wide awake its morning, i liked that one better then digital ash in a digital urn. anyone hear a collection of songs from 1995-1997? he recorded the album in his basmenet, i thought it was pretty cool.
I absolutely LOVE Bright Eyes!! Conner is a genius. The more i hear the more i realise how amasing they are.
i am just getting into bright eyes, so i'm digging it. i'd have to agree he's no dylan, but that comparison isn't even useful to anyone anyways, they're both completely different. p.s. bright eyes isn't a band, its just connor with a rotating musical cast
well somebody gave me "i'm wide awake its morning" and i was digging that so they gave me pretty much all his albums i think, all the older stuff. and so far i'm digging it all
I really dig Bright Eyes...Wide Awake is awesome in my opinion.. Lover I dont have to love, Bowl of Oranges and Lua are my faves of what I have heard of them..
i think they are one of the greatest thing to happen to music in a long time. oberst is an amazing lyricist but its not right to say hes the next bob dylan cause no one can do that but the bright eyes still are amazing.
AS had been in my msn name when saddle creek firstput birght eyes out, : "conor oberst you rock my socks" i ADORE bright eyes, and no smarter song has been written than No lies Just love in the past few decades
bright eyes are wonderful! i love them! some songs really touch my heart especially: something vague, the big picture, lover i don`t have to love and motion sickness
