Just a very well done folk album, no more, no less. I honestly was hoping for more along the lines of HoL, but this is still really good

i'm always sort of hoping that they can pull off a song that matches the mariner's revenge song's epicness. probably asking a little too much.

I have such a soft spot for their blatant NMH rip-off songs like "Oceanside"

Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect is my all-time favourite song. The lyrics are soo good.



And Landlord's daughter may be one of the coolest songs ever.

this is better than some people are letting on...ok 4.5 might be a bit over the top because of fanboyism but this is at least a 4.

I'm ready to rate this a 4.5 without even listening to it.

@Aids - I don't think this is a grower bro. It seems pretty what you hear is what you get to me but I liked it immediately.

It's a good, clean Decemberists album. What harsh truths are there to be had that a Decemberists fan couldn't figure out for themselves? I just don't get the foreshadowing and a 2.5 might be a little overly harsh.

I don't mean it sounds like avenged sevenfold. I just mean it's the same place in the band's career trajectory, and also they're similar in riffs.
