A Fine Album
Yes, another Bright Eyes album. Very good album with brilliant lyrics. Nice to see good mainstream bands like this one. If you like this band, check out Desparecidos... Oberst's political band.

Great CD
This CD is appropriate for ages 12+, just because of some light language. It fits into any genre... indie, country, rock, and pop. Probably one of the best songwriters I've ever seen. Also reccomended... X&Y by Coldplay, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn by Bright Eyes, Phantoms by Acceptance, God Bless Your Black Heart by The Paper Chase, Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand, The Bravery by the Bravery, A Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay, and In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 by Coheed and Cambria.

Great for teens, but only good for tweens if they're mature.
It contains thoughts that are fun to ponder. The music video for "First Day of My Life" is good for showing tolerance, too.

Powerful music and lyrics
Great song writing. Conor Oberst's voice is not good but he puts enough emotion into the songs that he becomes a great bad singer.
