4.0 out of 5 stars misunderstood, i think, November 26, 2004

listening to a variety of bright eye's albums over the last few days in particular, i found myself disecting the "depressive" feel to it all. i've decided that bright eye's music isn't depressing at all. it's just realism with a dark use of symbolism/metaphor. I think that the utter darkness of it all just helps to force the listener into thinking about it all at a deep level. it moves you to really consider the notions and concepts that he picks at.

anyway, anything by bright eyes is definately worth purchasing, and i hope people who maybe thought otherwise at first, can understand his music a little better after reading this :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Such sweet sorrow, October 22, 2004

This review is from: Every Day and Every Night (Audio CD)

Every Day and Every Night is indie rock(?) at its best. It packs a lot of emotional punch without any cheese! Its poetic and highly interspective. Conner Oburst deals with a lot of darkness in the this EP. AND, it just sounds good. The style is dynamic: melodic and catchy yet original and unconventional. I could decribe Bright Eyes style as -elements of blue-grass and folk combined with acoustic indie rock. Sometimes there is screaming/sobbing, sometimes there are clean cut, pretty harmonies. That sounds strange I know. But give it a chance if you like bands like Cursive, Grandaddy, Modest Mouse, etc. Every Day and Every Night is deep and passionate and if you're deep and passionate, you just might like it.

For those who can't yet stomach a full-length CD of fierce, quaking Tiny Tim - like vibrato (like me), this CD EP is the answer. (Blame it on my musician's ears, I guess.) But this CD is a true gem! Out of all BE's CDs, this is the one whose songs really speak to me most poignantly, and has the production and instrumentation I prefer. Most significantly, "A Perfect Sonnet" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my 40 years of life on this earth. Flawed and beautiful, that's what these songs are. A flawed and beautiful masterpiece.
