So, I bought this record when it came out, listened to it like twice and then somehow lost it before I could even rip it.

Well, low and behold, it magically reappeared last week so I've been listening to it a bit.

Its pretty damn good actually. I'd say "Gold Mine Gutted", "Arc of Time", and "I Believe in Symetry" are the standout tracks for me.

Anybody else dig on this?

Oh, and if you dislike/hate Bright Eyes, fine, but dont waste space in my thread telling me why. Start your own thread for that.

I think I started a thread a while back saying the exact same thing. Maybe I didn't. I think it's great. I had tix to see the digital show when he came to town, but it was on a monday and I totally forgot to go.

But that's as though Conor Oberst is not a regular nugget-across-the-chest dragger. Rather, you would have been in good company...

Meh

I liked the song Burn Rubber that is on the Take It Easy Love Nothing single. That's pretty much the only song in that vein, I liked from him.

It's aight, but I prefer I'm Wide Awake... a lot more. Also, I think Patrick Wolf's Wind in the Wires is a better manifestation of the techno-folk idea.
