Listen to Bright Eyes "The People's Key"

NPR does us another solid by making Bright Eye's "The People's Key" their First Listen.  Go here to stream the entire album!  Reviewer Robin Hilton begins the review with:

"I won't mince words: This is the best record Bright Eyes has ever made. In fact, it's the best record the band's frontman, Conor Oberst, has ever been a part of. Publicists like to say as much any time an artist releases a new album, but in this case, it's actually true. The People's Key is a career-defining work of art."

High praise!
