Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Bright Eyes, before the folk.......2006-04-19

Before Conor Oberst was writing his more popular folk influenced songs, made popular by "Lifted" and "I'm Wide Awake...", his music was was catergorized by the music on this album: more rock influenced, acoustic guitar lead indie music.
While I wont say these six songs are his best, they are certainly good, especially if you consider yourself a big Bright Eyes fan. The lyrics are still really good and introspective, and are overall pretty upbeat. I definatly recommend this, or if you want a little bit of a variety get the four songs on the split with Son Ambulance. I bought this for trhe additional two songs.

4 out of 5 stars Oberst Lays Down Some Typical Songs.......2005-04-24

Being a Bright Eyes fan, I hardly feel bad putting down Oberst's not-so-amazing work. This CD, frankly, is hardly worth it, that is if you are an owner of the Bright Eyes and Son, Ambulance split "Oh Holy Fools" (which by the way, is better than this).

The four songs from "Oh Holy Fools" are very good ones, by far the best on this CD. "I Won't Ever Be Happy Again", one of the two other songs, is worth a listen, a decent tune, nothing amazing. The final track, entitled "Mirrors And Fevers" is more of a poem than a song; it features Oberst slurring his usual emo lyrics over what sounds like muffled voices at a restaurant. I hardly consider it music.
