Synopsis

Album Description

Bright Eyes releases their third album of 2005, and this time it's a live collection. Motion Sickness is Conor Oberst and act's first live album from his own label, Team Love. The album contains a pair of non-album covers, Elliott Smith?s 'The Biggest Lie' and Fiest?s 'Mushaboom'. Oberst is sticking to his indie or die guns on the album, too. Expanding his anti-corporate campaign from avoiding Clear Channel venues, a policy that recently led to a rescheduled show in St. Louis. Saddle Creek.

CD Reviews

If you liked I'm Wide Awake It's Morning you should love thi

Joel Andrew | Middle America | 12/17/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great live album in general; the quality is crystal. Connor's live voice is incredibly close to his studio versions, however, the live album caries some quicker tempos and perhaps, more energy. The nuances of his emotive stylings come through in the live versions, which make this Motion Sickness worth the purchase. For all you upset NPR couldn't release the DC performance, this album is just as great. The live performance of "Method Acting" is as good as I've ever found. Those tired of painful quality of live low-fi recordings of a genius low-fi artist will seriously appreciate an album that truly encompasses Bright Eyes' 2005 IWAIM tour. It captures the country twang Oberst adopted along with the predominant use of trumpet and slide guitars which make his new album so unique. There are some great covers such as Mushaboom (Feist) as well as a Nick Drake number. Also, I actually prefer `True Blue' live to the Lua Single studio edition. 'Southern State' is a beautiful song that is more appreciated on repeat listenings."

Its OK, but the live shows and the studio albums are better

"I was eager to buy this after seeing Bright Eyes play locally, but really, its a disappointment. The album is a lot more muted than the live show I remember, which was entirely captivating and full of an energy thats mostly lacking here. Oh well, its still Bright Eyes!"

Lots of Trumpet

"Motion Sickness, Bright Eyes' third album of 2005, is a compilation of live versions of some of his greatest hits. Many of the songs feature trumpet quite prominently, this working to great effect in "We Are Nowhere And It's Now", "Southern State", and "Old Soul Song." The album also contains his provocatively political and sacreligious single, "When the President Talks to God" as well as a less-whimsically performed and less enjoyable version of the song "True Blue". All in all, the album is a generally good mix of songs (also present is "The Biggest Lie" by Elliot Smith) with a distinct flavour."
