    Sure, just a casual fan though. I bought Lifted a while ago and have listened to it a few times. It didnt blow me away or anything, but I did enjoy it. The music is good and the lyrics can be, but it seems a little hit or miss at times. I havent really heard any of his other stuff.

    Try It's Wide Awake... awesome, that was my first listen, got Lifted afterwards and agree, not as good, but it's growing on me... :)

    Sounds good, and Lifted probably will grow on me too when I spin it a few more times. Who knows????

    I just can't stand the kid.

    I've heard his records....they do nothing for me.

    Bright Eyes is great. I have several of their albums. About Lifted, keep listening to it. I believe that overall, it's one of the best releases by anyone in recent years. I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning is also excellent. Conor has a ton of talent and will be around for a long time.

    I love Connor's lyrics, and the emotion he puts into his music. Ever seen him play live? he's brill.

    I'm a big fan of Bright Eyes but that anti-war song,''When The President Talks To God'' was so bad it nearly made me support the war.

    I thought I really loved him when I bought Lifted. I still love that album for the most part. Beautiful lyrics and when I saw him live I was blown away as well. However all the rest that I heard didn't do it for me, even fevers and mirrors is so so. The side project Desparecidos is something I would like to see another record of. That with Lifted is really his best work as far as I'm concerned.
