Yes, I already have it. Some reviews have said that he's trying too hard to define himself by this album, given his name is the title. Some have even gone as far as to say he sounds like he's imitating artists he wants to be like. (That was in the Washington Post Express today, but can't find the article online. Grr.)
It's true. In some songs he sounds like Tom Petty, one Bob Dylan, one a country My Chemical Romance. For the most part though, he sounds like Bright Eyes, so himself.
It's a weird album, but I have a penchant for his more acoustic work. My opinions may change over the next few listens, but for now, my favorites are:
1. I Don't Want to Die (In the Hospital)
2. Moab
3. Souled Out!!
4. Milk Thistle
5. Lenders in the Temple
