AMG Review of I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideLast time around, Conor Oberst -- who for all intents and purposes, is Bright Eyes -- shoved all of his interests into one long, overstuffed epic, but with the simultaneously I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, he separates the country-rock on the former and the messy modernistic indie rock on the latter, as if to counter the criticisms that he can't focus. I'm Wide Awake is designed as a nakedly honest singer/songwriter album, somewhat inspired by the classics of the genre in the '70s -- he even recruits Emmylou Harris for some harmonies, hoping that some of the Gram Parsons' magic will rub off. Stripped of the careening, dramatic, arrangements of Lifted, Oberst's music seems simpler, and while his voice -- a quavering bleat that's halfway between Feargal Sharkey and the Dead Milkmen's Rodney Anonymous -- is an acquired taste; fans will find this to be his most direct album yet.

Track:
I've been disconnected from the world, working long hours in the cave and listening to lots of music for the last few months - mostly via the hypem. It's a strange way to get exposed to new sounds; my first exposure to many of the artists i've been listening to was actually hearing random stuff from hypem. I know that doesn't sound strange, but it is unusual to hear something without any contex...

Oberst is pure genius, wrapped in a boy's frame.So, everyone's excited about the new album, "Cassadaga", due out in April. And, "Four Winds", the new EP due out in March, too. Everyone loves Conor and his slightly varied style of music, his collaborations with other musicians, and his willingness to be outspoken.I was thinking about his previous albums, when I listened to "Noise Floor" a few da...

Track:Landlocked Blues - (with Emmylou Harris)
This song makes me feel like having a strong drink and having a good cry. Lately it especially reminds me of how my relationship has turned into sort of a long distance one which seems to be the worse kind of lonelyness.I've never really listened to Bright Eyes before until a friend was playing it in her car and talked about how great he was or something to that effect (it was a while ago).

Live music is better.....bumper stickers should be issued. Bright Eyes seems to be as polarizing as a presidential election. His fans are devoted, his detracters are scornful. I am a fan in that anyone who can come up with "I'm Wide Awake Its Morning" is an artist to watch. Granted "Morning" is an artistic trap....there's no where to go from there...as an artist one backs away slowly & caut...

Album:

Track:
I can't decide whether it's his desperate attempts to be funny, cool and hide his accent that make me want to break this guy's nose, or just the lack of insight and sheer ineptitude his interview shows..how did he ever get on TV?Still, at least we get a great performance from Conor.

I'm not one of the monster Bright Eyes fans. I can't really say I know his music very well and can only take listening to it in small, say random doses.

Quick Story - When I first moved to LA about 3 years ago, I hated it at first, a very uninviting city to say the least. I moved here with a wonderful girl, but it was a tumultuous time and we had some issues to work out, besides encountering our first real fight and then repeating that for the next 3 nights. Well, to make a long story short and not get in to too much detail about my personal l...
