MattJan 27, 2005This cd is really horrible. And I'm one of those Bright Eyes diehards. Aside from maybe a couple songs, this cd's music (and even lyrics) are just bad. They're not even average. Oh well, you can't win them all. DEFINITELY BUY I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING. That makes up for this.

Alternative PressRiskier but not totally out of character; it's the more holistic right brain to Wide Awake's rational left brain. [Feb 2005, p.81]

Q MagazineExperimental and confusing... Oberst's voice struggles to hit home through the effects. [Jan 2005, p.129]

This is not a classic – each high is paired with a low of similar scale, so whilst ‘Down In A Rabbit Hole’ scales heights previously thought unreachable, ‘Ship In A Bottle’, with baby samples screeching over the top of the most base-level beats, is plain annoying.
