Music reviews of I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING [Vinyl]

Music Review: Lovely album
Rating: 5 Stars

I absolutely adore this album, every song is lovely. Landlocked Blues is the reason I am a Bright Eyes fan. I used to forget whether or not the song existed, or if I dreamed something so amazing. We Are Nowhere And It's Now is a great song as well, very nice. Lua is so nice, very simple. First Day Of My Life is such a cute little song, I love it. Another favorite is Road to Joy, the last track. It is a great definitive end. I love the folky tone to this album. Go buy it, and for the opposite spectrum of mood and emotions, go buy Digital Ash in A Digital Urn.

Description of I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING [Vinyl]

Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst continues to earn his reputation as our most respected young troubadour with almost frightening ease. For the past few years he's been tagged "rock's boy genius" by the music press. These albums are a soundly articulated slice of modern life rolled into two very different records, both bursting with all the heartfelt poetry for which Bright Eyes' records have earned their acclaim. Of course, the rough edges haven't gone away - the palpitation of a splintering note, the crack of a voice as it overextends, the clumsy thump of a misplaced thumb. It's all still there. But there's a glorious new level of depth, a maturation of texture, writing and delivery. His best work yet.

Conor Oberst is running on dangerous ground: getting his first Dylan comparisons at age 12, frolicking with Winona Ryder, releasing two separate albums at once. Didn't he learn anything from Ryan Adams's mistakes? It's a good thing he can write such haunting, intimate songs. I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (released simultaneously with Digital Ash in a Digital Urn) is the album the Omaha native has always threatened to make, channeling his country rock influences into articulate, witty ballads that come to life with gorgeous harmonies supplied by Emmylou Harris. The tumbling "We Are Nowhere and It's Now" might be his first actual masterpiece, while the words of album closer "Road to Joy" ("I could've been a famous singer if I had someone else's voice/ But failure's always sounded better") indicate that Oberst might have his head screwed on right after all. -- Aidin Vaziri
