Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "Oberst always projects a spiritual generosity unknown to most footloose troubadours who can't commit.", "This collection is admirably vivid about the melancholy of both romantic love and the world containing it." -- Grade: B+, 4 stars out of 5 -- "The playing here has an ease to it....One has the sense of a front porch at twilight, the singing of cicadas and the smell of smoke in the air.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "A rough-hewn, death-haunted travelogue....Largely, this is the introspective folk rock of Bright Eyes, though there's some welcome shift away from autobiography...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The whole thing gels remarkably well: Each mood lets the other breathe....Bookend tracks 'Cape Canaveral' and the heartbreaking 'Milk Thistle' strike slow, sad notes, offering the naked vulnerability that inspires fans devotion and Dylan comparisons.', Ranked #23 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "Tracks like 'I Don't Want to Die (In the Hospital)' feel like lost Hank Williams demos.", "The songs roll along wonderfully, as the deeply intelligent and intricate lyrics tumble from the singer's mouth.", "What's surprising is that Oberst's first solo record in twelve years sounds more like a full band record -- with its chime-in solos and instrumental accents -- than any Bright Eyes album ever did."
Additional InformationDitching the Bright Eyes moniker, Conor Oberst makes his "solo" debut with an homage to 1970s singer-songwriters.
