Rating: - Watched Your Face Die Backwards, Little Baby In My Memory
It's lines like this that make Conor's music so engaging.He's also got a wicked way with a melody.Cape Canaveral is simply stunning.The fact that these songs are arranged and performed more or less "straight up" adds to this albums charms (Oberst is sometimes too clever for the listeners own good).Highly recommended to any one who appreciates a damn good singer-songwriter album.
Rating: - Good poetry
Conor Oberst is one of my favorite performers.I love his poetry and the soul behind it.His musicality is also excellent.I am probably old enough to be his grandmother, but I'm not.

- another classic from Connor
Connor Oberst has done it again. No other songwriter can capture the essence of self loathing, sprirtual healing, and self awakening all in the same album. Connor recording in Mexico gives this album a more cultural feeling. Connor is really a great lyricist and it shows more than ever in his first solo album. This is a great album for one of this generations greatest voices.
