Bright Eyes - Down In The Weeds Where the World Once Was (August 21, 2020) Album • Page 25

maybe the real question is..... who is "Kevin"

 

The whole review thread right now

 

KEXP today was cancelled, hope everything is okay!

 

Connor must’ve seen the Chorus review :(

 

HOLD UP DID THEY JUST SLANDER CLASSIC CARS HOLD ME BACK

 

still cannot stop listening to this album.

and also wait who is saying bad things about the best song off Cassadaga and a top tier BE song overall, Classic Cars?

 

Had no idea Jon T played on the album!

 

same rhythm section from The Mars Volta's first album!

 

Love to see it.

 

"Side D contains an animated phenakistoscope etching by Drew Tetz. This is viewable from a camera by placing the disc on the turntable under direct light. Viewable to the naked eye through the use of a strobe."

Anyone tried this?

 

Here's a reminder that if you're missing that classic BE sound and haven't heard "The Rockaways" or "No One Changes" yet you are MISSING OUT.

Also this album is pretty good but I still prefer Ruminations.

 

Ruminations is so underrated

 

Ruminations is a top 3 Conor Oberst work for me.

 

It's so crazy how Ruminations is one of his best albums and Salutations is one of his worst, despite including mostly the same songs.

 

Yea it’s really wild. Especially since the Felice Brothers were involved & they’re fantastic too.

 

yeah Salutations did nothing for me at all but I absolutely love Ruminations

 

yeah, I will probably never listen to salutations again.

 

Legit think Ruminations is his worst release, so damn boring. Sure it's lyrically cool, but nothing happens musically. Salutations is too long but at least it makes the songs interesting

 

both albums are great you fools

 

both are good but I don't think they're better than any Bright Eyes album including this one (excluding the collection I guess)

 

i'd rather have salutations and ruminations both more than collection, noise floor, and the last two before this one.

they don't stand up to the classics, sure, but they're still good. and they're better than his other solo albums by a good amount.

 

excuse me noise floor does not deserve this!!!!

 

@phaynes12 so much of that statement is ridiculous I don't even know where to start, my jaw is on the floor
