i have a slightly different opinion of this album. rather than making me think of my past, this album makes me think about how oberst needs to learn to speak/sing without his voice faltering and write some music that isn't so blatantly derivative. :-x
That was my first impression of Obert's voice as well, and while I still don't think it's spectacular, I think he has grown slightly as a vocalist. He's grown on me, and I can enjoy his songs, but you won't see me quoting him in my AIM profile anytime soon.
