Emily's Albums A to Z

Listened: Monday June 14

Digital Ash in a Digital Urn was the first Bright Eyes albums I acquired, which is odd because it’s much more electronic-instrument-based than any of his other albums. Now, knowing what “regular Bright Eyes” sounds like, I still really like the electronic instrumentation too.

Bright Eyes is one of those guys who you can only deal with when you’re young. His lyrics capture a young person’s angst quite well, but the whiny singing hasn’t aged well for me. Though maybe some years ago someone said the same thing about Bob Dylan!
