So once the album reaches its conclusion, I get it I've experienced it firsthand. However, when I listen to Turn on the Bright Lights, it's as if I've trudged through the dimly lit back alleys of Manhattan only to be jumped by bleak and unforgiving isolation. I've always been nothing more than an innocuous onlooker.

Sure, I've visited the Big Apple and walked around in awe as I look upon the sheer scale of the buildings that outreach the stratosphere, the thousands of unrecognizable faces, and the endless opportunities, but I've never known what it is like to feel genuinely trapped by all of it. One thing I've never truly experienced is city life.


Review Summary: Turn on the Bright Lights depicts a bleak atmosphere of loneliness in a world that is slowly closing in and poses a plan to escape that world.
