It is hard to describe what you feel after listening to this album. A bit depressed in one way or another, but mostly shocked. Shocked that a human such as ourselves could create such beautiful songs that seems to deserve a title higher than just 'music'. I find myself playing this CD once a day, and it never gets old. The lyrics are so intense and grabbing, sometimes petrifying because they reveal how deathly fake our pop world is today. How can you even relate anything you've every heard before to Bright Eyes? This is my absolute favorite CD, and I feel as if it will stay my favorite for a long long time. Buy this if you are looking for music to replenish yourself with. If you simply don't like Conor's humanly imperfect voice, go listen to a few Brittney Spears songs, and stop writing horrid reviews of the brilliant album.
