The creative mind behind Bright Eyes is back with his first solo effort since '95. The self-titled Conor Oberst ($10) doesn't stray too far from his musical past, with intricate, thoughtful lyrics set to a variety of modern folk soundscapes. For those disenchanted by the last Bright Eyes album, this is a welcome return to form. Standout Tracks: "Cape Canaveral," "Lenders In The Temple," "Milk Thistle."
