Review: Bright Eyes new album still sings same overrated tune

I’m a pretty open guy. I’ll usually give anything at least one shot to impress me, and, I’ll be honest, I’m always a bit wary of music or movies that “revolutionize the field.” One such band is the immensely popular Bright Eyes. Throughout the years, my friends have told me […]
