Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!
listen to the three tracks posted up above. decemberists are a lot more accessible than nmh, a lot more polished. they're also evolving, now I'd say they're like prog folk, which is weird.

Granted, that's a pretty big similarity. I've enjoyed the Decemberists I've heard when they aren't in full-on "arr, matey" gimmick mode. |

first impression: 7:29 into "The Island" is the best music moment of the year. two tracks into it and I'm not sure it isn't the best album of the years so far, wow.

Snaggle - I do happen to love amazing music. Which of their previous albums would you recommend to a Decemberists first timer?
Furthermore - I was reading some reviews of their albums on Amazon and people said it was "Pirate-y." Needless to say, I am already sold. |

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!
for the pirate-y ness get "Her Majesty." I think "Castaways and Cutouts" is better but they're really really close. Their 2005 release, Picaresque, also owns. So.. you can't go wrong. But for Piratey, yeah, Her Majesty.
PJ: I'm noticing a very R.E.M. vibe, perhaps that's contributing to your love? obviously it's a good thing. |
