happy? where have YOU been? he talks about death and babies drowning in bath tubs, thats hardly happy if you ask me. do your research.


Bright Eyes is good, but its really a you love it or you hate it kind of thing. theres not really any gray area.
and its a one person project btw.

It really depends on which song, listen to True Blue or Bowl Of Oranges and tell me it isn't happy. =/

And theres two people, Conor said so himself. Him and Mike Mogis.

Better then half that death metal crap you listen to. =)

^ And that would be... get your genres straight Ethan. I don't own a death metal cd.

I'm sorry, black metal.
& why does bright eyes suck?

Because, It's boring, and repeats it's self...I just don't like it, sorry.

Ps I hardly lsiten to black emtal anymore, besides Burzum, and Mayhem. I couldn't understand the vocals on the other cds I checked out :(.

Not really, I don't know how you could listen to a song off of im wide awake its morning, then put on something off of like, fevers and mirrors. Then say it repeats itself, because the majority of their albums are nothing like. Hell, for the most part stuff on one album is nothing alike and, I don't see how much music could bore you seeing as you listen to sunn 0)))

^ Bah it's just my opinion.

Ethan has forced me to listen to a Bright Eyes compilation.

I like it...lots. :)

However, I am now thoroughly depressed and verging on the suicidal. ;)

That's to be expected :)

Listen to bowl of oranges and hold someones hand quick!

I`m warming to them due to a friends persistance.

Still think he`s a loathesome tosser though.

Will the cats paw do? :hphones:

Has anyone got a hold of Noise Floor yet? or know if its leaked at all?

Yeah I know, I have quite a few of them also but it would be nice to have like, the whole thing. I wish they'd put out an actual new album..=/

As do I. But I think it's just Saddle Creek trying to make some more money, personally.

Hopefully a new one should be on it's way soon.

I don't know about that, like it took me forever to track down most of that stuff, some of it I can't even find. If I didn't have the internet, i'd find that noise floor hella great to have.

True.
But if I didn't have the internet, I never would have heard of them. It's not the kind of music to release over here. All the Scenesters will flame it until someone bans it for Political reasons.

But I agree, I can't find some also...but I have probably a good 60% and will still get the album when it comes out because I want to own them all. You know what I mean, I am sure.

I like releases like these because there would be no way I'd get my hands on those songs if it wasn't for this being released. And I don't think releasing rare songs is "what's wrong with labels". Of course they want to make money but, I just think the point was to make less accessible stuff easier to get.

leakage

he is certainly original is his words and arrangements which is nice

could seem a bit hard to get into i suppose or a bit detatched but i think everyone could love bright eyes if they tried

i LOVE Bright Eyes!! definitely a good pick.... my favorite song by them is Waste Of Paint, and "lover i don't have to love" definitely another good song.

Best Bright Eyes albums
 

I'm looking into getting about two Bright Eyes albums off of Interpunk (they owe me money since they ran out of Tiger And The Duke), so i'm just wondering what you all would consider to be your two favorite albums by Bright Eyes.

Fevers and Mirrors and Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil Keep Your Ear To The Ground.

^Seconded.

Fevers and Mirrors

Crowquill introduced me to Fevers And Mirrors as my first Bright Eyes listen.
And he was right! :)

Awesome, thanks for the help guys, looks like i'm ordering Fevers and Mirrors.

THanks.

& digital ash in a digital urn.
im a sucker for that album.
screw what everyone else says, i aint saying its THE best, im just saying its amaze & ship in a bottle will be dearest to my heart forever for getting me into zee loverly bright eyes.

Digital Ash is sexyiful.
But letting off happiness has like, bowl of oranges, false advertising (<3), plus it has lover i dont have to love.
Which makes me feel all tingly in my pants.
Anyways, I may up his entire discrography over the next few days, if people will promise to download it.

"Lover I Don't Have To Love" is rly awesome...
I think I like Bright Eyes, but I should listen more stuff...^^

i will, but fuck me, thatll take a long time.
& yeahhh but, theres more for me on digital ash.

Who could?

I read farther back into this post, seeing that the New Yorker titled him the new Bob Dylan...

...
:bringit: :bringit: :bringit:

:bringit:

I ordered Fevers and Mirrors and Lifted, i'll download the others later tonight.

i like all but i recommend not buying motion sickness. it just didnt seem worth the 30 dollars. but the booklet is nice and fat, which is cool. plus those ****ers at jb hifi gave me a version with a cracked case, but thats kinda irrelevant to the topic.
goodnight.

ive got 2 more to download

This is going to sound wicked smartassy but its deadly honest. Does he have an album where he isn't a self-indulgent ****? Is there a BE album where he doesn't try to sound like a whiney little bitch-boy so girls will want to **** him?

I mean, he can turn out tracks that I think are great, then he does **** like the radio interview on (I think) fevers and mirrors and I think "Man i hope this dude eats it".

I have lifted, its alright but to me the tape in the car **** is all just filler for artsy purposes. He is on the opposite spectrum of art music from say tool, and it least tool have a direction with their art, not just some trendy hipster passsing fad.

The interview on Fever and Mirrors is hilarious...he fucks with the guy soo much.
