  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Five Dice, All Threes sounds like they’ve caught up with themselves: even if Bright Eyes are struggling to scrape together optimism about the future, there is every reason why their fans should. Print edition only

    Like many of Oberst and Bright Eyes’ other albums, this album digs its heals deep in the dirt and plays tug of war with your heart. Another great album

    The rough-milled follow-up to 2020’s Down In The Weeds, Where The World Once Was doesn’t suggest time is mellowing him. Print edition only
