Kevin... Sorry to say bud, but quantity does not trump quality. Brighteyes has been really trying, but fails to bring anything new to the table. Releasing B-Sides for mediocre music is a really shady thing to do.

Mediocre at best.Not too many quality songs on there, but still easy on the ears

hey todd i guess you forgot about him releasing two albums in one year. can you name any other songwriters who have done that recently?

these are b-sides??? there are a couple duds (mainly the earliest stuff) but i think very few artists can create non-album tracks this good. his song writing amazes me!

Kevin, Ryan Adams actually released three last year. Double album the year before that. Neil Young did two in one year not too long ago. Haven't actually heard this record yet but I like Connor and have heard a lot of his early demos/stuff. So Icansafely give it a 7 no problem.

great song, great album.

There's nothing that indicates artistic indifference towards one's audience more than cleaning out your song closet for mass consumption. All under the guise that it is somehow rare new music, worthy for our ever-eager ears. Yet that's precisely what Oberst does with this pile of literal musical crapola. There's nothing on here that is even remotely up to par with his recent work, therefore money must be tight in Bright Eyes bank account. I'm wide awake, Connor, and this noise floors me for your audacity.… Expand

Not his best, but a few fantastic songs. um... yeah, Kevin. Bryan Adams is a great example. And Isobel Campbell... two in one year. Both exceptional.
