Bright Eyes consist of way too many members to count, but if their was one that I need to mention it would be the genius Conor Oberst. Conor as many of you already know provides the vocals, accoustic guitar, and the insightful lyrics just to name a few things he does. This album fully generates a depressed environment for its listeners, and while the lyrics are nothing short of mind blowing they challenge you to listen closely but allow you to interpret them however you like. In fact I wouldn't be hesitant to say that these lyrics are some of the best I've ever heard. In the book they are plotted down like a story which just adds to the feel. I've seriously contemplated that some of these lyrics are in fact genius. To give you a feel of them try this one from the song "False Advertising."

the only band on saddle creek that I absolutly can't stand is the Faint...who's horrible idea were they? Actually Jimi they sound way different. moron. "cursive do not sound like fugazi much different" this is an amazing CD. thats really all you can say about it. pootie tang is the best movie ever I'm a girl and when a guy calls me a bitch I go down on him. Cuz I'm just a silly co-dependent. Uh oh I better go I'm not allowed to go on the computer cuz jimmy says he'll take a coat hanger and give me another abortion. Twat opps i didnt realise i gave this band 10 ....... cursive do not sound like fugazi much different Sepatown! Sadatay! Capachow! Signyopityontherunnykine!- Mr.B uh....................ok.............bitch. I'm a girl and I know that when a guy refers to me as a bitch, it just makes me want to jump his bones right then and there. Homophobia is also sooo attractive. I wouldn't call Cursive original by any means...they seem to have taken a cue or two from Fugazi's play book... maybe their so obviously bitches cause your so obviously a dick About as original and inspiring as blink 182 right (but just in their own subgenre of this so called music scene) Holy shit that is so correct. Cursive is one of the most original bands Ive heard. no decent saddle creek bands? CURSIVE is better than most bands out there. And by the way the two top albums of the year are Bright Eyes and HWM's Caution. it would be easier to not refer to them as bitches if they weren't so obviously bitches maybe you could get the bitches if you didn't refer to them as bitches. If you want to make Bob Dylan comparisons, you should all listen to them and go listen to the original. Why settle for this derivative garbage? I'm not a fan of Dylan but shit, this is just gay. Forget Dylan and this fembot, and listen to Elliot smith. Finally a review of Bright Eyes that made no reference to "how much" Conor and his band sound like Bob Dylan...Thanks "Maybe I could get the bitches if I could only find one fucking decent band on saddle " BAH! i was going to review this back before it was released. that was... how many months ago? god i suck. the albums alright, it is no fevers and mirrors. i hate to say it but people are just pumping bright eyes up too much these days, though they (or he, depending as how you see it) are still really good. good review. I love this record, as stated in my review. I'm glad there are two reviews on this site praising this record. It will encourage more people to pick it up. |
