| | Audiogalaxy - Review of Bright Eyes |
 | | Though Fevers and Mirrors, the newest Bright Eyes album, is musically beguiling chamber-pop ear candy, glimmering with vibes, pedal steel, mellotron, and flutes, Oberst’s fearless tunneling into depression undermines any attempts at toe-tapping. |
 | | These songs make you feel alive the way you did in high school, when every emotion was so epic it seemed like it was going to swallow you, when you were an ugly, squirming knot of humanity, tossed here and there by opposing emotions made almost indistinguishable by their sheer intensity. |
 | | In many ways, Fevers and Mirrors skulks around in the same territory as uber-brooders the Cure, but the album manages to retain all the power of its mopey forefathers while emerging untouched by their excesses. |
