just in time to appease my earbuds

now, as most of you know if it came down to choosing my all time favorite artist it'd be conor oberst and his amazing band bright eyes. i have been patiently waiting for a new album to come from their creative works and the time has come! im still working on throughly listening to the album before i can give a rounded opinion on how i feel about it. you can read about and stream the whole album here. i feel like they may have jumped the gun when they stated 

"I won't mince words: This is the best record Bright Eyes has ever made. In fact, it's the best record the band's frontman, Conor Oberst, has ever been a part of. Publicists like to say as much any time an artist releases a new album, but in this case, it's actually true. The People's Key is a career-defining work of art.

Diehard fans might find it hard to believe that Bright Eyes could produce anything better than 2005's simultaneously released I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. But in retrospect, those albums feel less developed than The People's Key. In earlier recordings such as Fevers and Mirrors and Lifted..., Oberst sounds like a wide-eyed kid who's still figuring things out. On the new record, he's older and wiser and more sure of himself. His voice is stronger, the sonic palette is richer and the poetry is more compelling."

all in all im not going to bite the hand that feeds me.
