[@MrSpencerRichards]

keep going! It does get better!

Holy hell I typed a book and accidentally deleted it. My main point was I don’t think Al’s use of “emo” doesn’t really fit. I feel he’s got more of a “hot Topic”‘definition (plus it was 98, music was not much like this, most of it was purely distorted guitar driven, this album is full of musical sound scapes, a bit of everything to come) AMYWAY I agree with you. Please stick with it Al, This album gets better and so does their discography. If he sticks with it he can hopefully get over Conor’s voice. We’ve got some more emotive Conor vocals coming haha

Love this reaction! I like both of these but definitely get why people might not love stuff from this one. Also just wanted to say that if you’re not vibing with this one you could always jump ahead 😊 I think the songs with companions are generally the better songs on the album (for this album… don’t think I’d say that for all the albums). Thanks again for reacting to Bright Eyes! Loving the journey!

Having grown up with these songs, there's a comforting nostalgia with the originals. But Conor really became a better songwriter with Fevers and Mirrors onward.

I love this album actually.Some Neutral Milk Hotel members playing on some of the songs too.

Ohhh I personally love Padraic My Prince but I can absolutely understand it being too much for people, and it does contain some of Conor's early songwriting style that I am glad he left behind. Alsooo I think the Contrast and Compare Companion Version is my fave track of all the Companion EPs! Just somethin about the gorgeous instrumentation really does it for me hehe

Thank YOU! So, so much. This is so incredibly generous and kind of you. I can't tell you how much it means to me. I'm sorry for only just getting around to it now - been very swamped under but I'll always have a lot of time for my fav people :)
