OMG... The Decemberists' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!

[private joker]

After the first play through, it is the greatest album of 2006. Let's see what the next ones bring...

Anyone else heard it? It leaked recently.

WOW.




WOW.


OMG... I'm getting goose bumps as I type this -- what happened to this band? They just went from a solid band to a revolutionary one.

I downloaded a leak but it was incomplete so I never really listened to it.

Edit: can't find a leak on OiNK which means I won't be downloading yet, but I'll listen to what I have.

YEAH????

how does it rate compared to their others? I'm a huge fan of "Her Majesty..." and think "Picaresque" was also a GREAT piece of work. Their other stuff also rocks.

Didnt realize it was out already. Off to tower records [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[snagglepuss]

i would fill in the blank with "amazing music".

thanks for the headsup this was leaked. been listening to them for years.

will return with impressions if i find it.

[Jack of Arcades]

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.

SQUEE

I am currently aquiring this record to give it a listen. This news is very exciting considering I love their last record and was quite dissapointed by this year in music. By any chance joker are there are sea shantees [sp] because those are so awesome? Any way of telling us how it is so revolutionary in a few words, or is it just them to the next degree?
