VINYL FORMAT. Inherent in youth is a kinetic energy, vitality, and passion that has the potential to move masses. Every new generation picks a voice that will offer them something to identify with -- something to prove to them that the crazy things they're feeling and the anger that they're having and the disillusionment that's plaguing them is normal. Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst is that voice.
"Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground" is the latest, most significant release from Oberst and the notable cast of Bright Eyes players. Oberst's mainstay production team of Mike Mogis and Andy Lemaster (Now It's Overhead) lend performances on the record along with other noteworthy Omaha musicians including Todd and Clark Baechle (The Faint), Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor (Azure Ray), Matt Maginn and Clint Schnase (Cursive), and Jiha Lee (The Good Life).

| I think Lifted is one of my favorite bright eyes albums, the way its composed throughout is astounding. Conor Oberst is pure genius with how he creates such imagery with his lyrics, not only in Lifted but in every song he makes. There isn't a track on here I can fault. I particually love the last track "Lets Not Shit Ourselves" It?s the message Conor puts across in the album, "how grateful I was to be part of the mystery, to love and to be loved". I feel with that line in the song he sums up human nature. Again... Conor Oberst is a genius! This album is worth buying. | |

| At the risk of sounding like an overzealous fanboy, Bright Eyes - aka Conor Oberst - is one of the most amazing and intricate songwriters of the past decade. Some people are turned off by Oberst's voice, and others are disgusted with his 'whining'.. personally, I tell them when they can write a line like "You say that I treat you like a book on a shelf - I don't take you out that often because I know that I've completed you", then they can criticize this album. I like other selections from Oberst's catalog more, but this is definitely worthy of four stars. | |
