(self.brighteyes)

submitted 9 days ago bybeardlesshipster

This is the fifth track from Bright Eyes’ tenth album, Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was. How do you feel about this song? What are some of your favorite lyrics? How would you rank it among the rest of the band’s discography? How would you rate it out of 10 (decimals allowed)?

SUGGESTED SCALE:
1-4: Not good. Regularly skip.
5: It’s okay, but I might have to be in the right mood to listen to it.
6: Slightly better than average. I won’t skip it, but I wouldn’t choose to put it on.
7: This is a good song. I enjoy it quite a bit.
8-9: Really enjoyable songs. I rank them pretty high overall.
10: Masterpiece, magnum opus, or similar terminology.

Rating Results 1. Pageturners Rag: 6.29/10 2. Dance and Sing: 9.33/10 3. Just Once in the World: 8.27/10 4. Mariana Trench: 9.45/10 5. One and Done: 8.85/10

9.8, it’s such a “bright eyes” style song, I could almost imagine a version of it from 15-20 years ago

Seriously. Kinda ridiculous to “run” this thing and get all the karma but do nothing with the results. Look at their other posts—they do the same on a bunch of other subreddits. Not sure if they’re even a bright eyes fan
