This is a really cool album. Had it playing all morning and it’s really tasty. I hate to say it, but I “The Right Place”just played and I was totally taken to a Traveling Wilburys kind of place. Other tunes have some really nice production. With a group called “Monsters of Folk” I wasn’t expecting to hear drum machines and so much fuzzed out guitar. This a really interesting body of work, full of good writing, interesting production and some nice multi-colored ear candy sprinkles.

I agree also. I expected the album to be good and it way exceeded my expectations. I’ve never been a Bright Eyes fan, but I love Oberst on this album. The only weak spot in my opinion is Ward’s Slow Down Jo.

Seriously looking forward to seeing them play down here in San Diego at Spreckels Theatre.

Great review. Couldn’t have said it any better. I had very low expectations. I really thought that it was going to be something that they just threw together and people would buy off of name recognition alone but they crushed it. I wouldn’t call it my favorite album of the year but it certainly is one of the frontrunners.
