[QUOTE=elnicky]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.[/QUOTE]

He probably couldn't gather the musicians on IWAIM to have a full tour of it.

soadfreak2121 10-25-2005 12:48 PM

my sisters crazy about them but i think there singers a little di di di

lilsolsman 10-25-2005 01:12 PM

I like them. Fevers and Mirrors is great. Lifted & I'm Wide Awake were solid.

[quote=some guy on the other page]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.[/quote] He did tour for [i]I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning[/i], but it wasn't quite as long as the [i]Digital Ash in a Digital Urn[/i] tour, which I'm glad I didn't go see. All of the Bright Eyes albums that I own are great, except for that pesky [i]Digital Ash[/i], which just grows worse over time. There are a few decent songs on that, I guess.

morrissey 10-25-2005 04:32 PM

There are a couple good songs on [i]Digital Ash[/i], I just can't think of any.

Down a Rabbit Hole
Take It Easy (Love Nothing)
Ship in a Bottle

those are the only 3 songs that i can listen to without screaming in agony.

I think most of his lyrics are absolutely amazing. I like some of his stuff as a whole, but some of the other stuff is just....not for me at all.

Little Man being Erased 10-25-2005 04:53 PM

I saw him on his [I]I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning[/I] tour. It was quite disappointing. I've listened to [I]Digital Ash in a Digital Urn[/I] once, maybe twice. I still like the other Bright Eyes albums I have though.

comptonasseddy 10-25-2005 05:04 PM

I like some bright eyes song like "lua" and "something vague" and most of the fevers and mirrors album. I think its more for the girls, my girlfriends in love with him and whenever she texts/emails me she always quotes songlyrics from some of his songs. I wonder how much pussy he gets, i bet he gets loads but turns it down because shes not the 1 etc..

I enjoy Easy/Lucky/Free. That's a good tune.

That is the fakest looking post and corresponding user I have ever seen, so I hope it's real.

And it is real, this is the internet remember.

xhaereticusx 10-25-2005 11:47 PM

I like him.

andy is dead 10-26-2005 10:42 AM

Bright Eyes is really great.

TojesDolan 10-26-2005 03:44 PM

I started listening to Bright eyes because they're rather praised down there at S&L, and some of the best writers have their usernames influenced by their songs (APS and bowl of oranges).

At first I wasn't that attracted. It felt too...acoustic-y for me. But I got to the lyrics and it all pretty much resolved to yes, Conor writes amazingly.

yup.

S&L??

RollerQueen 10-26-2005 05:25 PM

Welcome to Alt/Indie, Tojes.

EDIT: S&L is Songwriting & Lyrics.

morrissey 10-26-2005 06:30 PM

Don't go there. We have enough crappy songwriting with RQ.

comptonasseddy 10-30-2005 06:54 AM

do you think he gets a lot of women like a pimp?

RollerQueen 10-30-2005 08:15 AM

Et tu, Moz? Then fall, RQ.

Bukowski 10-30-2005 11:19 AM

[QUOTE=comptonasseddy]do you think he gets a lot of women like a pimp?[/QUOTE]

Yes. In fact, he might as well [i]be[/i] a pimp. And he'd kick everyone's ***. Conor's just that kinda guy - very violent, you can tell just from the lyrics.

I think he's mediocre. But don't tell him that.

morrissey 10-30-2005 12:04 PM

I was the saving grace of that hellhole. :mad:

It is pretty bad.

Edit: Too bad they don't have the "Fine African Gentlemen" one anymore... :upset:

Dreww 10-30-2005 02:21 PM

My friends make fun of them, but I haven't heard anything by them. The only people I know that like them are girls who 9 months ago liked Simple Plan. I guess it's safe to say that I can't listen to their music now without a false preconception of the quality.

something vague 10-30-2005 03:00 PM

Dreww - You friends have probably heard "First Day of my Life".

[quote=Dreww]The only people I know that like them are girls who 9 months ago liked Simple Plan.[/quote] Most girl fans suck.

xKONRADx 10-30-2005 05:24 PM

If anyone has doubts to his songwriting I suggest you check out the song Landlocked Blues. I'll link to the lyrics and if you want any mp3s IM me.

As for those girls "who 9 months ago liked Simple Plan," ect. That happens with every music group that makes it big. You'll get alot of people who just jump on the bandwagon because it is good music but they just use it as a social vector. As for the people who loathe him, dont be a hipocrite and hate just cause you dislike those who listen to whatever people tell them to.
