    Any Bright Eyes fans here? What are the new albums like? I hear they are both excellent. I've heard a few songs such as 'First Day of my Life' and I think they are amazing. Which of the two albums is the strongest?

    "Lifted or the story is in the soil....." is excellent, with "Waste of Paint" a stand out track.

    I'm wide awake it's morning is also good, havn't yet heard Digital ash though....

    I have the latest two albums. "I'm wide awake" is easier to get into but "Digital Ash" is pretty damned good too, it just needs more time.

    What other albums are there from Bright Eyes ?

    Well it seems the general concensus is that this Bright Eyes guy is a bit of a genius so I think I'll be investing in an album or two of his.

    Which of the albums is First Day of My Life on?

    general consensus (once again, not that i own either) is that i'm wide awake it's morning is more like his normal acousticy stuff and digital ash in a digital urn is his slightly more electro stuff. it's with the lad outta yeah yeah yeahs right?

    I think yer man from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is called Nick Zinner, either way he did work on the album with Conor, and so did other members of the Saddle Creek collective, like members of the Faint (if you haven't heard the Faint, then make it your business to buy Danse Macabre/Blank Wave Arcade/Wet from Birth! fab electro-synth-rock). The Faint and Bright Eyes are touring together in the summer playing tracks from Digital Ash, and the Faint will be Conor's backing band.

    I love I'm Wide Awake It's Morning, but even though it is similar to his older stuff, really he has changed a lot vocally since his last two albums, he sounds a lot more confident and less whiney. This album is really country, even though many elements of his older stuff is country, this one is more blatantly so. Anway, Emmylou Harris sings on it, and she's a country queen herself! and Jim James from My Morning Jacket sings on it too, providing lovely backing vocals!
