The Decemberists

[xavia1609]

any decemberist fans out there?

[perriwinkle]

i only like "here i dreamt i was an architect"

other than that i think they are very boring

[teambulimic]

They're pretty boring :(

[kitsch]

cant stand them really. i just end up tuning them out. they just have nothing really interesting.

[EightMilesHigh]

I used to really like them now I can't stand them.

group of ugmo's

[Zero0Bass]

Sometimes the vocalist's voice is perfect and I really want to hear it, other times it sounds like a cheese grater on a chalk board. Super slow stuff too, so generally can't get through an album. Good lyrics in general though.

[ArmyOfRage]

Only heard one song, "We Both Go Down Together" and I like that, although it's losing it's repeat appeal fast.

[cptracks]

sixteen military wives and O Valencia! are amazing songs

Great band, and I love Meloy's voice.

[Iluvatar]

yankee bayonet and the mariner's revenge song are both classics

but their new album blew

[Brasmonky]

Hazards of Love is the best cd of 09....

[VicariousIntent]

I think Hazards of Love is fantastic, but the concept behind it is utterly ridiculous. I tend to ignore when listening to the album, and try to replace the shape shifting forest men and forest queens with just regular people. It becomes infinitely more enjoyable, though Colin Meloy would certainly hang his head shame to hear such a thing. Musically, the album is simply fantastic and I wouldn't change a thing.
Honestly this was the first album I heard from them. I checked out Picaresque afterward and thought it fantastic as well. I still need to get The Crane Wife.
I wish I could say I've been a fan for longer, but better late than never right?

[djtdub105]

Not a big fan of their newer, more experimental stuff, but I like their folk rock songs

[Bleak]

Ah I love them. The Hazards of Love is one of my favorite albums of 2009.

[barbarian]

Don't care for them. But I love Anne Briggs very much, which is where the title The Hazards of Love came from. So all Decemberist fans and even those like myself who aren't fond of them, check out Anne Briggs, the most beautiful voice in folk music.

[Panfanelpwno]

I enjoy their more straight up folk sound to their prog folk sound, but I love it all.

[robertsona]

i have crane wife which is good

[Stone Birds]

My favorite Song from them is "Sleepless" which came from the best compilation ever created (So Far)

[robertsona]

that's a bit of a stretch

[Stone Birds]

have you even listened to the thing?

[robertsona]

yeah

it's really inconsistent but has a lot of good artists/songs

[Stone Birds]

Dark Was the Night.

and if its not the best comp ever , then what is?
