socbret Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 What do you guys think? I've only heard the title track, and it sounds great so far. From what I've heard he seems to be set on leaving behind his pre-Lifted work, which is definitly understandable. Here's the video for "Four Winds": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC-_wpl4ZWw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aricandover Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I like it. "Stray Dog Freedom", sounds like something from Wilco's new material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alison the wilca Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i really love it. i think it may appeal to more people and attract less whiney baby comments. i think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

napoleon Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i really love four winds the song, but i don't care much for the rest of the EP. i'm digging the song he released with m. ward the most though. woah, i had no clue he grew his hair out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 he seems to be set on leaving behind his pre-Lifted work, which is definitly understandable.Meh. Letting off the Happiness is still the best thing he has done. As for the EP, I thought it was alright at first but I pretty much hate it at this point. The song Four Winds sounds like he aped his own song, Loose Leaves, and aside from Tourist Trap, the rest of it is pretty lame. I also don't like the vocal delivery he's been using on the last few albums. Blah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I enjoy the EP enough but I really really really love "Endless Entertainment" which you can download from his site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindofblue Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I just have this feeling bright eyes eps previewing forthcoming lps are never that close to being completely indicative of their source material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
into the white Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 This ep just pisses me off. The other pre-album eps have had songs that are as good as, if not better than, the songs on the actual album. These songs all clearly sound like throwaways, with the sole exception of the title track, which is on the album itself. Add to that the fact that the album songs they've been playing live are far superior than these songs, and I just question why he bothered to put this out in the first place.

TheMaker Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Not a fan of this kid, but that video was all right. Elliott Smith much, though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Not a fan of this kid, but that video was all right. Elliott Smith much, though? most definitely but not as good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renton Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Not a fan of this kid, but that video was all right. Elliott Smith much, though? Bright Eyes is the homeless man's Elliott Smith. (I'm skipping over poor man) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I think he's immensly talented. "Let's Not Shit Ourselves" is one of the best songs of the decade. still need to hear the ep, so if someone could send a link that'd be like cool and stuff. I can't wait to hear his next album. I have high hopes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm beginning to wonder why the actual album hasn't leaked yet. Isn't it due here in less than a month? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 yeah, April something or other Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 A few thoughts;I usually think Bright Eyes sucks (hard), but I liked this song. That drummer, is a mega babe.That video, was very distracting song. Unless you're Cake, you should never have music video audio playing over your song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
