Give it some time
I spend too much time listening to | Gilford, NH USA | 01/27/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"When i first heard Bright Eyes i actually considered their music to be some of the worst i'd ever heard. I hated it, but my friend kept ranting on about how talented Conor Oberst is and how moving his music, so i went out on a limb and bought an album (Lifted, or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground). I somehow feel in love after the first listen. Everything my friend had told me was true and i was forced to admit to the fact that she was right and i was wrong.
After that I found anything and everything i could by them and I can asure you that this is the best single collection of Bright Eyes songs ever written. I admit, this album is challenging, but just take the oppurtunity to sit back and listen to what Conor has to say and I guarantee that even if you don't appreciate the music you will appreciate the brilliance of this young man. Bright Eyes is one of the very few great voices of today's young America."
