Sound: Favors electronic touches and occasionally more rockin’ guitars and percussion to the earthier tones of I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning; similar vocals
Notes: This was released simultaneously, but separately with Bright Eyes I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning; Yeah Yeah Yeah’s guitarist Nick Zinner plays guitar
and keyboards on half the tracks
Heavy Rotation track: “Arc of Time (Time Code)“
Medium Rotation tracks: “Gold Mine Gutted“; “Ship In a Bottle“; “Theme To Pinata“; “I Believe In Symmetry“; “Hit the Switch“
Recommended: To Bright Eyes fans and indie-rockers willing to support a great artist testing the waters, finding some success, but not quite nailing it.
Grade: B-
