Music reviews of Noise Floor (Rarities: 1998-2005)
Music Review: Bright Eyes
Rating: 4 Stars
This "new" release from Bright Eyes is actually pretty good. There were a couple tracks on the album that I had already heard sometime before, but some of the ones I hadn't heard before were terrific. Conor even has some guest appearences from such artists as M Ward, and Jimmy LaValle from the band otherwise known as The Album Leaf. Most of the songs are great, but i found a couple others to be kind of bland and boring. It's nice to hear some of the Bright Eyes songs I had never heard before. And it is true that the album somehow seems to all fit quiet nicely together although it is not an actual studio release. One of my favorite songs would have to be "I Will Be Grateful for This Day," and sounds kind of like a pre Digital Ash song although it really isn't. A song that does sound like it could have been directly off of Digital Ash was "Blue Angels Air Show." I found it amusing to see though the stage Conor was in when listening to each song. You can almost picture which album each song would've been on if they had been put onto one of hhis studio albums. The song "Bad Blood" really amazes me because it sounds like a song Bright Eyes would've made, but then I later find out that Jimmy from The Album Leaf is the one who made al the music for that song. That song has recently become one of my favorites off the album but it is kind of a dissapointment to find out that none of the music was recorded by Bright Eyes. If you're a big fan of Bright Eyes then you'd more than likely already heard a few of these songs, but just because you've already heard some of them shouldn't be your reason for not bying it because this album is defanitely worth a listen. You'll be quiet surprised by it actually and see how many songs Conor has been keeping hidden from us. Well, actually now hidden because most are on singles, or other random compilations. But atleast you won't have to go off searching for each of these songs individually since they're all on this disk. Ok, whatever... Just check it out if you're a Bright Eyes fan...
Description of Noise Floor (Rarities: 1998-2005)
A collection of singles, one-offs, unreleased tracks, collaborations, and covers recorded between 1998 and 2005. Variously recorded to cassette four-track, mini-disc, reel-to-reel tape machine, ADAT and computer, these songs trace Bright Eyes' evolution from basement project to band of international repute. Many of these gems previously lost to out-of-print obscurity are hereby resurrected."I've got no self control," Conor Oberst sings on "Spent on Rainy Days," one of the 16 rough-hewn tracks on this collection of Bright Eyes demos, unreleased tracks, and general bric-a-brac. As the young songwriter demonstrated with his wildly divergent 2005 releases, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (good) and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn (er, not so much), he's extremely prolific, but that doesn't necessarily mean he should release everything he records. Accordingly, Noise Floor presents a mixed bag that will enthrall hardcore Conorites but leave others frequently reaching for the skip button in search of only the sharpest material--slow-burning ballads such "Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man," "Weather Reports," and the echo-laden "Bad Blood." --Aidin Vaziri
