So, I think people really need to stop hating on this new Bright Eyes record - Cassadaga. The funny part is all the things that usually lead people to hate on a Bright Eyes record - the whining; the off-key, earnest vocals; the long structure-less songs - are not what people are hating on this time. In fact, now they're mad that it's the opposite - apparently, it's too clean. People need to make up their minds. Sure, there was something endearing about how overdone and kinda naive Lifted was. However, I much preferred the brilliant restraint of I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. Let the man mature, please - he's not 16 anymore. In all honesty, these new songs are really good - this folk/country thing seems to be what Conor Oberst is best at and he seems to really be coming into his own with it."Four Winds"

Was that Noel Gallagher that you see in the audience at about 2:09?
I actually like this album quite a lot, more than I thought I would really.
I am really enjoying this album, so no hating here. I think I like it better than the last. Guess I like things clean.
