boy, is this guy overrated. don't believe the hype (if there is any and then it will soon go away--ohhh dissed 'em!). I was told to let the record seep in and that i would not like it right away, well i've been seeping for a whole week...and it's still bunk. if you like neutral milk hotel and palace and smog, which bright eyes gets compared to, than you will be dissapointed. it's like if you like pearl jam and then said "i like them soooo much that i think i'll buy all the creed albums!" bright eyes is a copy of a copy of a copy. the lyrics are like bad poetry from jeremy's (of pearl jam fame) notebook with boring melodies. it's hip but face it--it sounds like a badly produced counting crows and those felas are lame--except for that "mr.jones" song. that is a good song. and the lead singer dated courtney cox. and she's on that funny show "friends". i laugh at the show because it's funny. joey is funny. bright eyes makes me tired.
