When I saw you posted in this thread I was preparing myself for another snide dismissal, but I have been proven wrong! Thank you! This song is teh awesome. [/ QUOTE ] disliking the band is no reason to withhold stuff from its fans [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!
i like this album except for "the perfect crime," which i really dislike and i skip every time it comes up on my ipod. i feel the same way about Picaresque and "the sporting life."
is this weird or somewhat common? |

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!
i guess it's common, some good albums have a bad apple. fwiw, i liked the sporting life.
with this album for me, it's exactly the opposite. i'm indifferent/dislike every track except for yankee bayonet, which is my favorite decemberists song out of their entire catalog. |

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!
After reading all the glowing reviews I bought this at I tunes.What a very average collection this is.Nothing inspired about this junk.To say this is the best of 2006 when Dylan's Modern Times was released a few months ago is insanity.These guys can't write and they can't play.I actually thought maybe there was something new I could get into but like everything else put out this is junk.I must officially be old because I long for the days when this crap wouldn't even make it out of the studio.This is just a bad REM knockoff.

[ QUOTE ] i feel the same way about Picaresque and "the sporting life." [/ QUOTE ] Dude, no. [/ QUOTE ] this song is much better than "the perfect crime," and i think it is fine musically. if i ignore the lyrics i can listen to it, but the lyrics are pretty lame imo. not that it doesn't flow well or anything, its just the subject matter in general. "my dad wanted me to be a jock but it's too bad for him i'm actually an artsy pale guy." let me know if there's a deeper meaning i'm missing. dont get me wrong though. each album does have a fairly weak spot in my opinion, but i still really like both of them. |

I didn't want to make a new thread, but this was pretty funny to me. Apparantly Stephen Colbert and The Decemberists are "at war".
Read this first. Stephen Colbert calls out The Decemberists on his segment, "Who's riding my coattails now?" The Decemberists' Response |

I liked this album when I first heard it, then I put it away for awhile... now I can't really get back into it.
Beat? |
