It's all good. All of it. Digital Ash is fantastic if you want to go that way first.

Ryzee · « **Reply #106 on:** March 28, 2011, 12:20:25 PM »

Awesome. I've been on a bit of a folk kick lately and I'm Wide Awake... has been the album I've found myself spinning over and over so I'm looking forward to getting into the rest of their(his) discography.

Just wanna say, the Four Winds EP is awesome

Agreed, it's really nice.

So the rambling guy from The People's Key is in a band called Refried Ice Cream

I need to bump this thread just to apologize for ever, EVER badmouthing Digital Ash as I'm Wide Awake's retarded cousin. It's ridiculously great. I like it more on every listen.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #110 on:** April 07, 2011, 02:18:33 PM »

You also have to apologize about what you said about The People's Key and then we can be best friends

Ravenheart · « **Reply #111 on:** April 07, 2011, 02:21:18 PM »

Digital Ash > I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning.

Also, Lifted is my favorite Bright Eyes album, easily

skydivingninja · « **Reply #112 on:** April 07, 2011, 02:24:13 PM »

Only listened to the People's Key twice but its quite good. Digital Ash is really cool as well. I need more stuff. Tell my local record store to get more.

If you ever see it available, get Lifted!

I take it back. I'm sorry. I love that record.

glaurung · « **Reply #115 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:47:06 PM »

Thinkin' about trying Bright Eyes out since there are quite a few people here that love them.

Is the latest album an okay place to start?

sonatafanica · « **Reply #116 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:56:33 PM »

I think it might be, but it's not really representative of their discography. I'M Wide Awake, It's Morning is pretty popular, but they have a flawless track record with albums.

antigoon · « **Reply #117 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:57:16 PM »

Sure. If you like more folksy, earthy stuff check out I'm Wide Awake It's Morning and/or Cassadaga

Ravenheart · « **Reply #118 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:58:42 PM »

I would honestly go with Fevers and Mirrors or Lifted.

I think I'm Wide Awake is overrated, but it's still a good album.

Digital Ash is awesome, too, but it's pretty different.

glaurung · « **Reply #119 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:59:58 PM »

The People's Key is already done downloading, so too bad, I'm listening to that.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #120 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:00:31 PM »

The only album I have is 'It's Wide Awake' and it's pretty good.

What are the weak tracks, in your opinion?

Honestly, it's not that any of the tracks are weak. But out of all the others I've heard (all except their/his debut), it just holds my attention the least

I haven't listened to it in awhile, though. I'll probably give it another spin soon. And it's still a good album. I just feel like Conor's done better.

Ryzee · « **Reply #123 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:38:28 AM »

Bump to say: Holy shit!! Digital Ash is (to quote that dude in Wayne's World who watches Garth's drum solo in the music store) amazing, dude! Arc of Time (Time Code) is the jammy jam!

antigoon · « **Reply #124 on:** May 06, 2011, 06:22:05 PM »

That record is incredible.

So I've been listening to Bright Eyes almost nonstop the last week or so. The People's Key is awesome (favorites are "Ladder Song," "Beginner's Mind," "Shell Game," and "One For Me, One For You"), and I already liked Digital Ash (Take it Easy and Hit the Switch...

). So when I bought I'm Wide Awake Its Morning, it was my first exposure to "real" folky Bright Eyes and I'm quite enjoying it. "Lua" is so beautiful and is on the fast track to becoming my favorite Bright Eyes song.

I think my favorite aspect about the music is that the vocals are the forefront of the music. Not that Conor's a great vocalist, because normally I think I'd get really sick of his voice really quickly, but the way he perfectly enunciates the lyrics and how they're never buried by instruments is really really well done.

Pirate · « **Reply #127 on:** May 06, 2011, 07:58:32 PM »

I just wanted to say that I love all of this

skydivingninja · « **Reply #128 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:02:12 PM »

Almost forgot, I listened to "Shell Games" earlier today and realized the first verse references past Bright Eyes album art! I thought that was really cool.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #129 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:03:20 PM »

Yeah I tried to demonstrate that two pages ago but it didn't work :/

skydivingninja · « **Reply #130 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:11:21 PM »

So wait, looked back through that and what's this about "ending the Bright Eyes name," Chris?

sonatafanica · « **Reply #131 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:13:10 PM »

The People's Key is the last Bright Eyes album.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #132 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:14:28 PM »

Yep. You were too late in becoming a fan. You done goofed.

I'm listening to I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning for the first time now. Man the intro is really something... I love the album so far!

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #136 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:12:22 PM »

After fully digesting Lifted and Digital Ash, what album should I got for next?

I was thinking either I'm Wide Awake or Fevers and Mirrors, or maybe the new album?

sonatafanica · « **Reply #137 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:13:49 PM »

You really can't go wrong. But go ahead and get I'm Wide Awake. And don't forget Cassadaga! Never forget Cassadaga.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #138 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:14:53 PM »

jesus dude, do you have like a chip in your brain for when people post in this thread? such a fast reply

sonatafanica · « **Reply #139 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:16:46 PM »

short answer: yes
