I love it when new albums come out. ;airguitar:
I haven't released anything in five years.

That's how long I've been teaching in NC. :|
My understanding is that you're getting close right?

But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. ;)
I feel like I've been "close" since October.

There's one section of one song that is causing me intense grief. I cannot stay in time for it. How lame is that? I've been playing music over half my life, and I'm having trouble keeping time for one section.

Wow, so negative :omg:

Most people prefer Crane Wife, but my faves are Picaresque and The King is Dead. I LOVE Colin Meloys voice; wavery & quavery & so expressive. My favorite Decemberists song is Mariners Revenge song from Picaresque. The irony at the end gets me every time.
Not negative at all!

And thanks for taking my remarks out of context.

If you have not listened to The Decemberists, then you have failed. That's a positive opinion of The Decemberists. :srsnod:

I think The King is Dead is their worst because it is overshadowed by everything else they had done before. This too, is a positive opinion of The Decemberists.

The Crane Wife and The Hazards of Love are their best.

My second two favorites will be equally Picaresque and Castaways & Cutouts

Her Majesty is good. I quite like The Tain.

Has anyone here heard "A Record Year for Rainfall?" Brilliant. Good video.

So no, not negative. Quite positive!

It's standard Decemberists in some ways, the hyperliterate lyrics, for instance, or Meloys use of his voice, BUT... the instrumental arrangements almost puts me in mind of The Band or some other late 60's/early 70's country grit rock. Their earlier albums were more derivative of folk in many ways; this is a twangier direction, less black turtlenecks, more faded jeans. A few places there is almost a Gram Parsons/Flying Burrito Bros vibe. I'm gonna go listen to it right now!

I do not own the other. Should I? What do people who might like it also like?
Yay! Good. I have not listened to the Decemberists at all as of yet, so I look forward to giving the album a listen when I get a chance soon.
Then you have failed.
