Sep 5, 2020Perfect comeback though Conor’s voice sounds a bit different. Tilt-A-Whirl and Comet Song are my personal favourites.

Aug 30, 2020Best Conor Oberst record since I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. A top-5 Bright Eyes record, possibly higher.

Aug 21, 2020By god they’re back. It’s a great album. Not being a teen anymore, you get nervous that you won’t feel the angst anymore. Obviously Conor is 40, so he hasn’t been singing for teens for 20 years. However it’s nice to have something to work with my adult angst as well.

Aug 21, 2020Bright Eyes has always had an uncanny ability to release records when I needed them most. In 20 years I've never been disappointed. This one is no exception. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Beautiful record.

Aug 21, 2020It's an honest-to-goodness Bright Eyes Album in 2020. Fits in the discog perfectly.

Sep 25, 2020Bright Eyes may not technically be emo, but they are transcendently expressive, beatifically melancholic. Down in the Weeds is just the statement of grounding that we need as a respite from the churning chaos around us.

Sep 3, 2020As talented as Oberst is on his own, his symbiotic relationship with the other members of Bright Eyes makes it easily Oberst’s best project and one I hope continues on for the foreseeable future.

Aug 27, 2020At once bleak, grey and obsessed with morbidity, and lush, blooming and gorgeous, it’s great to have them back.
