I need to revisit Cassadaga after this thread because quite honestly I remember it being kind of boring.
I'm obsessed with this part of To Death's Heart:
There’s bodies in the Bataclan, there’s music in the air
And they sing, “Éphémère, éphémère, éphémère…”
And “Wish You Were Here”
Enough blood to fill up this fish bowl
Keep swimming around
The exit’s blocked, there’s nowhere to go
All these same fears year after year

I am obsessed with Forced Convalescence. It's nice to hear him write a tune that is just about appreciating normalcy

I implore y'all to give Cassadaga a focused listen as well. "Hot Knives", "Middleman", "Cleanse Song", "Lime Tree"? I mean, c'mon! Sowing if you like apocalyptic shit, look no further than Cassadaga's, "No One Would Riot For Less".

I've never really been able to get into Bright Eyes, and on first listen to this nothing stuck with me. But my second and third listens (both today) have been completely different than the first, this has a chance to be really special.

Definitely a grower. As I previously said, even as a huge BE fan, the singles didn't do much for me, but I grew to become obsessed with them. For anyone interested, they've performed new material on Stephen Colbert, CBS This Morning, and James Cordan. There's also a pre-order exclusive performance that's been uploaded to Youtube (the current available video seems to be a recording of the performance from their computer on their phone, so quality is questionable) where they play new songs as well as classics including, "From a Balance Beam", "A Spindle, A Darkness...", and "Light Pollution". There's also a radio performance of new and old songs on NPR's 'World Cafe'.

It's definitely already special. Really not sure what they could have done to make this better, it's that good.

Lime Tree is very possibly the best song by this band

I hate to keep interrupting this Cassadaga thread but this album is pretty amazing. It's weird to me that people aren't freaking out more over this.

@sowing, probably only because BE isn't as relevant as they were in the aughts tbh. I feel like people discussed BE way more back then, kinda like they do Deftones or something like that now.

I guess. I just want someone to fanboy hard with me. This is a masterpiece.

Glad to finally have you in the Bright Eyes crew Sowing, a little surprised it took a 2020 release t make that happen. As coldheaven already said, they aren't really the hot topic they used to be... in the words of Conor himself when asked what its like to be coined 'modern Bob Dylan', he replied 'there's probably already been 5-10 'modern Bob Dylan's' that have come along after me ... and that was in like 2010 haha.
