good album.

Cape Canaveral, Lenders in the Temple, and Milk Thistle are up there with his best stuff.

fuck you.

I like it but most of the songs I liked much better live. Maybe it will grow on me.

Not a fan of Bright Eyes, but I will give this a listen.

Not a fan of Bright Eyes, but I will give this a listen.I mean, Conor Oberst is basically Bright Eyes. you won't like it.

Most likely. I find him pretty unbearable to listen to. It just feels so contrived :( If you could make up a best of list I would really appreciate it, as I want to see what everyone else sees in him.

I heard him on Jay Leno last night and dug it.

But I had never listened to it before because this girl in my journalism class fucking raved about bright eyes every day and i was like "shut the fuck up and suck my dick"

i was going to get tickets to his shows at a real small bar here, but decided not to because they were arranged in such a way that you couldn't easily sell them to someone else and i wasn't certain i'd be able to make it

all i've heard of his work is fevers and mirrors, which i own and love but i don't think i need/want to hear anything else of his.

some songs on cassadaga make me feel swell, they're kind of breezy and not even close to as overbearing as some older stuff

i like it a lot, which i guess isn't too surprising.

its not different at all?it's much more "mature" than the majority of his work. i dunno if you've followed him at all but it doesn't sound anything like his first couple albums, but by now it's not a departure or anything.
