Any real music critic knows that even if she doesn't dig the Bright Eyes sound or find his voice annoying, they can't deny his creativity and talent as a songwriter. Though singer Conor Oberst may not read them, Bright Eyes has scored magnificent reviews by real music editors in numerous publications including Spin Magazine and the influential British magazine NME - whom both put the album on their top of 2002 lists.
