No.17 in the Best Of 2005 Top 20
 
One of two Bright Eyes albums in 2005 (not counting the live one), I’m Wide Awake it’s Morning managed to encapsulate almost everything Conor Oberst has to offer. Considerably more measured than on previous albums, Oberst kept one eye on his musical integrity while attracting a whole new audience. Without a single weak track, highlights range from the heartbroken resignation of ‘Landlocked Blues’ to the riotous political rant of closer ‘Road To Joy’. Another year spent adding to an already bulging repertoire of celebrated songs, and he’s still only 25. Bastard.
