Alas, ya got to it before I did. Love this band to death but this is their first disappointing album.

Good review, I agree with most of your points about the album itself though I disagree with what you say about the band in general - imo up till now they’ve been one of the most consistent bands of the millennium and there hasn’t even been a general decline to this - The King Is Dead from 2011 is their career height for me.

not sure why everyone dislikes this. it doesn't have the same personality as their last two americana-influenced records, but this is way catchier and a lot more fun...very few tracks are skippable.

To each their own, I s'pose, SnowingSeason...

Sowing, my problem is not so much with style as execution. Several of these songs are just really lazily written and even - I though I would never say this about a Decemberists song - bad (We All Die Young and Tripping Along - ugh). The heights (Once in My Life, Sucker’s Prayer, and especially Rusalka, Rusalka / The Wild Rushes) are really strong, and most of the rest are decent enough, but it’s too inconsistent overall to call it a great album.

That's fair enough Boney. I don't disagree with that you're saying, so I guess I just rate more liberally.

As thrilled as I was to have something more eccentric from this crew I don't want it at the cost of songwriting. Several of these tunes are just too basic for their own good. I agree that this is a more immediate and fun album than the last two but lacks the substance of that output.
Your Ghost is a total jam though, loved that track.

I do like this album, but half the reason is that I've given up on another Picaresque or Her Majesties The Decemberists. I mean, these guys are middle-aged parents now. At the end of a show, they bring all their kids out on the stage and have a big sing-a-long with the audience (which, I suspect, is why We All Die Young is on here).
