America's enfant terrible-cum-cause celebre of garage alt. country, Conor Oberst, follows up 2002's 'Lifted...' album by "doing a Guns n' Roses" and releasing two new albums on the same day (this one and 'I'm Wide Awake It's Morning'). This is the experimental release, wherein Bright Eyes' Dylanesque folk is sampled, chopped up, deconstructed and saturated in electronic glitches. The result has baffled the critics, with some comparing it to Radiohead's 'Kid A'.

Reviews

Rolling Stone (No. 966, pp.57-8)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "[O]nce it gets going, it's phenomenal, with OMD-style guitar and keyboard hooks..."

Uncut (pp.72-3)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "Like fine pop writers before him, Oberst's simply wrestling with something troubling he feels thick in the air."

Alternative Press (p.81)
- 5 stars out of 5 - "[R]iskier but not totally out of character; it's the more holistic right brain to WIDE AWAKE's rational left brain."
