Sticking to his trademark fresh out of high school lyrical mopiness, Oberst manages to craft some impressive songs here that channel shades of David Bowie and The Cure. With a handful of 5 star songs Digital Ash is unfortunately filled up with mostly 2 star material. Had he shaved off 3 or 4 songs, Oberst would have a pretty solid experimental album on his hands.
With any luck he'll try at this sound again because it sounds like he was onto something good.
