So for the various orchestrated songs (notably Make a Plan to Love Me) is it all composed by Conor, or did he collaborate with a classical composer like DT did for Score?

sonatafanica · « **Reply #141 on:** May 07, 2011, 08:29:45 AM »

I'm pretty sure Nate Walcott (the trumpet guy) did all the transcribing and stuff for the orchestrated stuff.

that guy's a boss. And NO ONE DARE FORGET CASSADAGA

ANYONE
EVER

glaurung · « **Reply #143 on:** May 15, 2011, 06:57:43 PM »

So I just listened to The People's Key and it was pretty fuckin' good. Definitely interested in more.

Pirate · « **Reply #144 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:03:38 PM »

I think I like Cassadaga better than IWA,IM

sonatafanica · « **Reply #145 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:04:07 PM »

I could see how any album could be someone's favorite

Ravenheart · « **Reply #146 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:17:33 PM »

I'm Wide Awake is good, but I can name several Bright Eyes albums that immediately strike me as better than IWA.

I think either Lifted or Digital Ash is my favorite.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #147 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:27:52 PM »

My copy of Lifted got posted today...well yesterday since it's 2:30am here.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #148 on:** June 04, 2011, 07:49:31 AM »

I've had Singularity stuck in my head for days now

IT'S SUCH A GOOD SONG

btw it's a single/b-side sort of for The People's Key

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #149 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:01:53 AM »

What album should I get if I have only heard I'm Wide Awake and think it's a fantastic album? Is there an album in a similiair style?

sonatafanica · « **Reply #150 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:13:28 AM »

I suppose its sister album (digital ash) is close enough to it, except very electronic.

Before that point the songwriting is pretty different in style, and absolutely wonderful.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #151 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:18:00 AM »

"Lua" is the best Bright Eyes song.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #152 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:22:49 AM »

I'll just get Digital Ash and then some random stuff. Have listened to I'm Wide Awake a lot, so might be time to get a second album

.

glaurung · « **Reply #154 on:** June 04, 2011, 12:02:58 PM »

I'm listening to I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning for the first time right now. This is sooooo good!

Typical female favorite, you know..

sonatafanica · « **Reply #156 on:** June 04, 2011, 12:26:43 PM »

yeah, when I saw them a few months ago every girl around me was shouting "lua" between every song haha

skydivingninja · « **Reply #157 on:** June 04, 2011, 05:34:43 PM »

Don't care. And I will get more of their albums, Chris, be patient!

Ravenheart · « **Reply #158 on:** June 04, 2011, 05:38:11 PM »

My favorite Bright Eyes song has got to be Waste of Paint.

That song is just... I can't even begin. I'm sure Chris can testify to its brilliance, too, though.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #159 on:** June 04, 2011, 06:24:52 PM »

o ya grl

that song inspired my twitter name "inkwaster" (waste of ink was taken)

glaurung · « **Reply #160 on:** June 08, 2011, 10:28:56 PM »

Am now listening to Digital Ash in a Digital Urn for the first time. Down in a Rabbit Hole is so pretty!

antigoon · « **Reply #161 on:** June 09, 2011, 05:54:40 PM »

Digital ash is just so magnificent.

Sigz · « **Reply #162 on:** June 09, 2011, 05:57:55 PM »

Hit the Switch is mindblowingly awesome.

antigoon · « **Reply #163 on:** June 09, 2011, 05:58:23 PM »

Yes.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #164 on:** June 09, 2011, 06:14:02 PM »

I want something horribly sad.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #165 on:** June 09, 2011, 06:15:08 PM »

Just listened to all of Lifted again.

God, what an amazing album. Anyone who likes Bright Eyes but hasn't heard this record needs to hear it. Right now. This instant. It's by far Conor's best songwriting, if you ask me, and it converted me from fan to BIG fan.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #166 on:** July 17, 2011, 07:24:54 PM »

Alright so I bought The People's Key and it's pretty bad.

Did I start in the wrong spot? Should I get something else?

you should have started at killing yourself

glaurung · « **Reply #168 on:** July 17, 2011, 07:32:45 PM »

Anyways, I love The People's Key and it was a good enough starting point for me. Others might suggest I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning or Digital Ash.

If you can stand VDGG you should be able to enjoy Bright Eyes.

Try Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. Its what I started with.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #170 on:** July 17, 2011, 09:33:35 PM »

Heard a few songs here and there. Definitely prefer them. Maybe this particular album isn't my thing... I'll be sure to pick up something else when I return to my hometown (all they have here in Calgary is The People's Key, which is why I got it).

skydivingninja · « **Reply #171 on:** July 17, 2011, 10:02:37 PM »

But the People's Key is awesome.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #172 on:** July 17, 2011, 10:03:49 PM »

LieLow, check out Lifted. It's their best album if you ask me.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #173 on:** July 17, 2011, 10:10:57 PM »

Seconded.

Also, I feel like Make War is way too ignored, can we get some love in for that song?

contest_sanity · « **Reply #174 on:** July 17, 2011, 11:53:56 PM »

I downloaded IWA a few weeks ago and have given it a few spins. Liking it, but I need to hear it more. Also, on that first track, I totally thought he was about to tell the masturbation story from "Mallrats."
