Conor Oberst - Salutations (March 17, 2017) Album • Page 8

no, just the one, Outer South

 

Conor’s weakest record with his best song

 

what about One of My Kind?

 

ok, I’ll bite - what song

 

TEN WOMEN!!

 

that was my guess

good song but come on... his best, Teebs?

 

I have powerful connections to that song you’ll never understand!! including being drunk on a cruise ship and playing that song at some of my darkest moments... lol

 

That's just a compilation of b sides and an EP, I wouldn't count it with the studio albums

 

His b sides are great tho. The four winds ep has my favorite cassadaga songs on it.

 

That's not even the best song on that record. "White Shoes" is

 

the gentlemens pact EP was probably my fav thing to come out of that era. the title track and breezy are both up there with some of his best songs.

breezy, especially.

 

Love Breezy and Gentelemen's Pact. I want the vinyl they sold on that tour so badly.

 

Who's feeling a 2020 Bright Eyes comeback? 8 years since People's Key. Let's hope.

 

Crazy that it’s only been 8 years. It feels so much longer, probably because of the insane amount of output Conor has

 

I know that Mogis hasn't been on everything he's put out since People's Key, but I feel like a lot of his solo stuff could very well have been released as Bright Eyes.

 

It ain't bright eyes if Mogis and Walcott aren't involved...them the rules.

 

Bright Eyes was the “band” I followed religiously in high school. But I never ever got into The People’s Key. Maybe listened to it once.

 

You should really give it another shot.

 

#DefendThePeoplesKey2019

 

People's Key is good

 

The People's Key is meh. Every Bright Eyes LP before that record is infinitely better.

 

I still think Peoples Key was a weird way to bookend the Bright Eyes project but if it really is the end, i look back on it super fondly.

chronologically it's fun to listen through each album and listen to conor grow up. you can see his progression as a person through his whole discog's timeline.

 

People's Key is a very good record, not great but its solid. I think Ladder Song, Jejune Stars, Approximate Sunlight and Halie Selassie are all great tracks. I even like Firewall as a good slow building opener. I think bright eyes fans just wanted them to do something different than what they got. Never understood the hate for this album.

 

Then A Collection of Songs, Letting Off the Happiness, Lifted, and Fevers and Mirrors ain't Bright Eyes.

 

It’s because there’s five good to great songs and five meh ones, it was billed as the “Last Bright Eyes Album” after four years off, and it came after a near-flawless run of albums and EPs. This ain’t hard.
