 Album Review: Bright Eyes - Letting Off the Happiness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Letting Off the Happiness was the music world's introduction to Conor Oberst, a hot-headed 17 year old kid who would eventually go on to record 2002's Lifted, or, The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground, which turned him into the star he is today.
Most of the album was recorded during a session on new year's eve of 97/98, and Oberst intejects between several of the tracks, giving commentary on the progression of the evening, including updates on the number of hours remaining until midnight.
Perhaps its biggest weakness is that Letting Off the Happiness reveals that in 1998, Conor Oberst had not yet learned, as a vocalist, how to scream.

The only clues that he might be someone important is the cell phone that sleeps next to a cordless phone on the windowsill by the table.
He has, however, grown up from the boy wonder with the nerdy glasses and unkempt hair of just a couple years ago, when he released his second Bright Eyes full-length, the dreary Letting off the Happiness (his first was the low-fi A Collection of Songs… in 1998).
When "Padraic My Prince" from Letting Off the Happiness was released with the lyric, "I had a brother once/He drowned in a bathtub before he ever learned how to talk," many thought the song was autobiographical.

There are also full-on rock numbers like "The City Has Sex" that help to push the envelope, and others like the Dylan-esque "June on the West Coast" that showcase the one-man band aspect of Bright Eyes.
Letting Off the Happiness is a powerful record that manages to stay believable in light of the tortured emotions it tries to convey.
It was recorded before Oberst was even out of his teens, but he shows the maturity of a songwriter who has seen it all, and for that he deserves respect and maybe a bit of incredulous inspection.

 Bright Eyes - letting off the Happiness Review - sputnikmusic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Conor Oberst thrills again with his early release "letting off the Happiness", a wonderful blending of his signature mope-rock style and digital anthems such as those on his later release "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn".
The album starts off (as always) with a collage of random static and noises, that fades into a song - "If Winter Ends" (5/5) a fast major-keyed guitar spree filled with suicidal lyrics, but happy vocals - for the most part of the song.
We continue as the fastest-paced song so far on the album, "The City Has Sex" (5/5) is possibly the only song on Conor's discography that he has let somebody else sing without singing in the background - or foreground, for that matter.

 Lazy-I Interview: Bright Eyes -- December 1998   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
His new album, Letting off the Happiness, released at the beginning of November by Saddle Creek, is a personal song diary of sorts, consisting of pseudo-biographical material that's almost completely made up.
Unlike his solo projects and the earlier Bright Eyes recordings, "Letting Off the Happiness" was "very much an intended album," he says.
Other than the opener, which came from an earlier session, the entire CD was recorded in two locations – in Oberst's parents' basement with the help of Mike Mogis, and at an Athens, Ga., studio operated by Andy Lemaster of the band Drip.

 NME.COM - Reviews - Bright Eyes : Letting Off The Happiness
As album titles go, 'Letting Off The Happiness', is as flly ironic as they get.
'Letting...' - originally released by Saddle Creek in '98 - is gloriously all over the place.
There's a buzz about the tunes, and a wit, weary purity and self-awareness to Oberst's words that saves this from a laughably dark insularity.

So, my pal Boris sticks his head into my room while this Bright Eyes CD is playing, and says rather incredulously, "What the hell is this, emo-country?" And I say, "Uh...
But given the fact that Oberst isn't quite 20 years old, we'll let certain errors considering the overall quality and ambitiousness of this recording slide a bit.
So, let's just call him "one to watch for" and leave it at that.

I am not only happy with the sample (which glows nicely in my fluorescent display), but very impressed with the prompt service, especially since we are nearing the holiday season.
Just wanted to let you know how wonderful the pieces are and how true to the photographs (or even better, actually) they were.
I'm quite happy with it, the luster and the sharpness of xls, as well as the contrast to the matrix really give this piece a quality collectors piece presence, in a size range I can deal with.

 Blogcritics.org: CD Review: Bright Eyes - Vinyl Box Set (Part II)
Letting of the Happiness presents a Conor Oberst whose songwriting abilities have expanded considerably since he wrote those songs from 1995 to 1997.
Though each song on Happiness attains a power similar to that of "Padriac," each track is freshly original from the rest.
Happiness also foreshadows the various turns Bright Eyes music has taken since then.
