I received the CD yesterday from Tower, and it is beautiful. I like the tracklist just the way it is, and I hope we get to hear the other tracks someday. I blasted, "Room Noises" out of my surround speakers with candle light and it was an experience I will never forget. Thank God for Eisley. _________________ http://www.myspace.com/whisperingtrees |

 i got my copy in the mail yesterday, and i was literally screaming and jumping for joy! man oh man, i've never been so excited for an album before, and finally, I was playing it on my way to work. I love every second of it! and Trolley Wood as the last song was such a nice way to wrap up Eisley's first album. Is Chauntelle singing parts of the song? I couldn't tell. and wow- the design graphics, overall look, colors, everything- looks so amazing and beautiful. like always, beautiful job Boyd. Congratulations Eisley! yay!

Her voice sounds very similar to Stacy's on there, but a bit lower and softer, I think. |

"Telescope Eyes" "Brightly Wound" "My Lovely" "Plenty of Paper" "Lost At Sea (Remix)" And added: "They All Surrounded Me" "Lady of the Wood" "Mr. Pine" "Sunfeet" But that's just me... I hope that what was decided on for the tracklisting does the job in earning them widespread enough success that they have more freedom to do what they want with their albums in the future. Hm, I would agree with Telescope Eyes being taken off... but then again I think that song has been so beaten to death, that mostly everyone here would... but for the rest I'd have to disagree. I'd probably take off Telescope Eyes, I Wasn't Prepared and Marvelous Things. I would leave Memories because I love it. However, I think that since those songs were on the EP, they should have been let go. I love them and all, but it's not as exciting when you get a new CD, and you already know 50% of the songs because you have the EPs with them. I would have replaced them with Mr. Pine, Sunfeet and Silver Bugs. But no complaints from me. I love the CD. yeah i dunno i think mr. pine is such a great song(and a lot of people agree) that i think theyre crazy for not adding it but it's ok. but then again i havent gotten my CD yet so i guess when my jaw drops i wont be talking anymore lol. |

The mail hasn't come today, but even if the album does come today I will still be very unhappy. The purpose of preordering music is so that you get a week in advance. I mean, c'mon I don't think Eisley is going to fly off the shelfs at my local best buy. So basically I feel like I just paid $5 more than I would at Best Buy (not too mention shipping costs) just to get the cd the day its released or if I'm luckier a couple days after. I got my Bright Eyes albums 3 weeks in advance. |

Starting off with Memories and almost for every track. It's not a huge deal, but I would have thought that someone would have sat down and listened to the record and compared the lyrics before finalizing them for print. _________________ http://www.myspace.com/whisperingtrees |

I got my Bright Eyes albums 3 weeks in advance. yeah true thats why i ordered it w/the button package. something special. but it is their first full length cd i think they need a break..and most likely it's the record label's fault or whoever does that stuff. |

I got my Bright Eyes albums 3 weeks in advance. It also was stated on the Saddle Creek website that the Bright Eyes albums would ship a couple of weeks early. I have the album and i'm going to pick it up tomorrow because one copy just isn't enough. _________________ http://www.myspace.com/whisperingtrees |

Five minutes after that post, my mom walked in with the album. I got it a day early. I don't blame the band at all or anyone. No one ever said the album had to arrive earlier than expected, I just figured it was an unwritten rule. Either way, I'm happy listening to the album so I'll shut up. |

oh my gosh its so good! _________________ A professor was one day walking along a very narrow street when he came face to face with a rival. The street was too narrow for two to pass.
