Bright Eyes - Down In The Weeds Where the World Once Was (August 21, 2020) Album • Page 19

I tried to stay up to listen at midnight but my body had other plans. First spin just completed. This thing is wonderful. To Death's Heart was my favorite on first pass but there's so much to explore.

 

does "Pan and Broom" remind anyone else of "Forest Whitaker" by Bad Books but they added some French New Wave DNA or something

 

Delivery date changed to today! They didn’t email a digital download and I don’t have Spotify premium so I’ll wait for my record.

 

I decided to listen to his complete discography and this is the first time I’ve listened to that first album and man, I find a lot of this...very annoying.

 

what are you meaning by the first album?

letting off the happiness, collection of songs, or water?

 

Collection of songs

 

Letting off the Happiness is underrated.

 

I like a few things on here, but a lot of it was definitely written by a 15 year old lol.

 

yeah, bad album. the first proper album is quite good.

 

This might flat out be my new favourite album of the year and I have two songs left.

 

"The City Has Sex" is such a fuckin ripper

 

Letting Out the Happiness is okay. I should probably give it another shot.


I woke up thinking about this album.

 

Ten hour shift today:

 

Fuck this it’s so hard to upload a picture on my phone.

 

THE LAST THREE SONGS, WHAT THE FUCK????

Comet Song WOUNDED me.

 

The outro to Dance & Sing is perfect. Anyone know where that audio clip comes from?

 

To Death's Heart reminds me a lot of Desert Island Questionnaire.

 

Also, Letting Off the Happiness is ALL bangers. Love that album.

 

to deaths heart some reason reminds me of an arcade fire song and I cant place it. maybe like half life 1 or something.

 

Feels like they found a medium between The People's Key and Cassadaga. I'm into this.

 

I definitely hear a lot of this as an expansion of Cassadaga’s sound, but maybe a little darker? Moodier? And in that way, yeah, TPK makes sense as a comparison.

 

went on a run that ended with to deaths heart and calais to dover. looked like a really big dip shit walking home in tears

 

I’ve seen that void, tried not to stare
There’s bodies in the Bataclan, there’s music in the air
And they sing, "Éphémère, éphémère, éphémère…”
And “Wish You Were Here”

 

Hot Car in the Sun is the one that broke me on my second pass. Great placement of that one in the full sequence. It’s the gut punch & then the rest of the tracks gang up on you in a kind of mortal kombat “finish him” type of way

 

AOTY? Top 5 or top 10, for sure.
