Negative Positive
Title: A Lyrical Goldmine
Review: Alright, I'm going against what all the other self-proclaimed Bright Eyes experts have said about the two simultaneously released albums from Jan 05. Digital Ash comes out on top, not by much, but it really does show Conor Oberst's musical maturity, releasing two different CDs in two similar but different genres. If he released Digital Ash alone critics would wail and say, "oh he's trying to reinvent himself." If anyone finds this new direction he's exploring hard to comprehend, they've been fans for less than a year, because he's been leaning towards this since Fevers and Mirrors, in my opinion one of their greatest albums. I love I'm Wide Awake, don't get me wrong, but if you can really appreciate Saddle Creek/Omaha style music, pick this up. If you like Cursive or Faint, this is definitely the top pick out of the two, although you'd be seriously shorting yourself if you didn't get I'm Wide Awake as well. Both amazing albums, but Digital Ash shows more depth and creativity.
