I'm not really a fan. At all.

Not at all?

I love Bright Eyes and don't understand why so many people here despise them. :confused:

I like yours... Cursive all the way

[QUOTE=cap]I'm not a huge fan of Conor, but I do believe that's pretty harsh. The kid can write some pretty bitchin lyrics, his tunes are pretty developed and he certainly has skill. Guess I am a critic.

The teenage-indie-girl fanbase is rather annoying, but I'd rather a girl loving Bright Eyes than Green Day, Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne or any variation thereof.[/QUOTE]
I have to make up for all the overratedness by despising him inproportionately :)

As for lyrics, lyrics are always so subjective, my gf has me read them all the time because she loves him, but none ever grab me or mean anything to me, so basically I see them as artsy trash as opposed to just trash. And his voice is terrible.

P.S. Green Day is better than any of the bands you listed by a mountain slide, and I don't even like them that much.

Bright Eyes > Green Day. For sure.

I've yet to find a Bright Eyes song I enjoyed listening to, so I'll disagree.

I feel the same way about Green Day. But it's all a matter of opinion, so it's all good.

i like bright eyes, not scared to admit it..

I enjoy him. If someone else sang IWAIM, it would have been an outstanding album. His voice just didn't do it for me on that album, but I still enjoy very much.

I think Bright Eyes are very good. [i]I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning[/i] is probably my favourite CD of the year.

Bright Eyes have some FANTASTIC songs, in a way, I feel bad some people can't admit it. I ahve to admit the guy is a dick and some of the songs range on obnixious but some of them are some of the best written modern songs around.

cue all the "scene" girls....

Same here. I recently made my progressive rock crazy friend buy it, but he didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did.

I'm seeing them on the 10th, and Lifted is probably my favorite album ever, so yeah...I like them a little.

Bright Eyes is pretty cool I guess. I've heard a little of his music. It's alright. I'm not a huge fan though.

[quote=Idenman]cue all the "scene" girls....[/quote]

Cue the "stfu n00b3rt". :)

lyrically i like that first day of my life song, but the guy is so whiney and can't really sing, so the song as a whole is less enjoyable. that and a couple other songs is really the extent of what i know of him.

Overrated, and not so good. And that's coming from an "teenage-indie-girl" and scene and total popist.

[QUOTE=Zappa]I've only ever heard him on Austin City limits. And couldn't enjoy it even a tiny bit.[/QUOTE]

I like Bright Eyes but I thought that was horrible.

I also hate the obsessive fans but he has a few good albums. [i]Fevers & Mirrors[/i] is classy all around.

[i]Digital Ash[/i] should never have been recorded.

I like a few of his songs some of it sounds kinda like country music though.....

Yes...

His folk songs are good.

I like the songs that pack a punch but the rest suck.

I really like "Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh".

I also really like your avatar.

heh thanks

well i couldn't have said it better myself (i actually tried and yours sounded better) i second your most excellent opinion.

Yeah, Fevers And Mirrors is by far his best.

[QUOTE=Sep]Yeah, Fevers And Mirrors is by far his best.[/QUOTE]
Yeah. I'm Wide Awake and It's Morning is pretty decent too. I have to agree 90% of Digital Ash.. is worse than terrible and for some reason he decided to tour it not I'm Wide Awake.
