So the new Bright Eyes record, The People's Key, comes out soon and it deserves its own thread because I say so. Has anyone (Chris) heard it yet? I just started my first listen

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #1 on:** January 30, 2011, 02:30:32 PM »

I'm starting a listen now. I didn't know it was out yet!

Bright Eyes album's cover art always throws me off at Cheapo. I think it might be an album I'd like to check out, but then I see the name and put it back.

I have their discography on my computer, not really sure what kind of music it is, but I'll eventually check it out.

Haven't yet, looking forward to it!

In regards to Bright Eyes in general, I'm a big big big big fan (as anyone who has my last.fm will know)

I actually really like some of the cover art. It's plain, but goes well with the music.

Me too. Firewall was a strange track, but I think I really like it (and the album) so far. The album almost reminds me of Digital Ash at times.

Edit: Shell Games is awesome!

I'm really starting to like this album.

Well...That was really underwhelming. Hoping it will benefit from repeat listens.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #18 on:** January 30, 2011, 03:27:07 PM »

It sounds like a grower to me, so I will refrain from opinions for now.

Hmm. I'll give this band a chance.

I wouldn't start with the new one.

Start with "I'm Wide Awake... It's Morning"

"Shell Games" is a great song.

The Bible's blind the Torah's deaf the Qur'an is mute

they're porin' over Sanskrit under ivy league moons while shadows
lengthen in the suuuun

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #31 on:** February 01, 2011, 07:17:13 AM »

I've decided that I really like the album.

The best songs come around the end.

I think Cassadaga is a really fantastic album. Thoughts?

And I'm coming around to The People's Key, too.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #33 on:** February 01, 2011, 08:58:20 AM »

I gave Cassadaga my first listen last night. Definitely needs a few more listens. It was the same for I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning though.

Cassadaga is delightful!

The People's Key has been in my car for the past few days, and I'm already digging the heck out of it. Some songs haven't quite connected yet, though.
