My friend played me a song by them last night. Quite gorgeous. I really dig his voice.

Ive heard one Bright Eyes song and it was one of the most terrible pieces of music ive ever heard, im hoping it doesnt speak for his other stuff. I believe its a new song, and its really long. And there is like talking going on in the backround.. its awful. He's hitting notes out of key, its just a mess..

I think that one's called "The Big Picture." I didn't think I liked Bright Eyes when I heard that one.

Not all music has to be the same and fit within what music theory dictates. The world would be very boring otherwise.

I would say listen to "Method Acting," "Lover I Don't Have to Love," or, if you're feeling adventureous, "Let's Not Sh*t Ourselves" or "Waste of Paint."

right on, you guys rock!!!

i purchased "lifted or the story is in the soil, keep your ear to the ground" on the basis of one song "lover i don't have to love".

i had mixed emotions about the rest of the cd after one admittingly half hearted listen because it was so different. after that, i made a conscience decision not to listen to it again until after i checked out the live show (i usually get a better understanding of the music that way ).

this is truly an artist that must be seen live. i was immediately drawn to the way conor expressed himself on stage. the passion and intensity in the delivery of each song was quite amazing. i just stood there like a sponge and soaked it all in. for me, it was very satisfying to see which instrument was creating the different sounds i heard on the cd. i guess i'm just visual that way oh yeah, did i mention he was backed by a a 12 piece band?

it was truly awesome you guys. i haven't stopped listening to "lifted" since. now i can fully appreciate the cd for what it is, gorgeous! i even purchased 3 of his previous releases that night!

when i told my friends "yeah, i checked out this really cool musican/band called bright eyes last night" all i got in response was "who the hell is bright eyes?" (lol)

i'm so glad you all understand me
