Oh I actually haven't heard that. Thanks.



Also yes, I do them a disservice, because I like this album a lot more than the others.



5 minutes later: Pretty sure Trifo is going to like The Tain. Great stuff.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah I was going to suggest The Tain for Trifo, that’s the closest thing to this in their discog.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah it really embraces their theatrical, storytelling side which is my favorite side of the group.

Album Rating: 5.0

Cool, will check that, never heard it before.

I've heard Crane a long time ago and remember not liking it, and I made the mistake of giving the last one a chance but I see now that that was an unfortunate decision.

Album Rating: 4.0

The new one only exists as an excuse to have a sing-a-long with all their children at concerts "We All Die Young". Middling release.

Album Rating: 5.0

Ah, never checked The Tain after all. Will do so now! In the meantime: well-deserved bump < 3

The Tain was coool, agreed.

Such great memories of playing that on the pub jukebox and having every one give me the evil eye for the next 15 minutes.

Let's bump this perfect little grandiose album.

The Tain is next up on my playlist again, will check it again!

For some reason I often get a recurring memory of me ~5 years ago, going by bus through the summer lands while listening to this.

I guess it was just super nice.

Hmm that does sound good man.

Album is bliss and superb etc.

Album Rating: 4.5

Amazing album yeah

I know this is kind of a weird question for an album like this, but what are y'all's individual favorites on this? I've always been particularly partial to "Annan Water".

Album Rating: 4.5

My first love was The Queen's Rebuke, because it's so badass (and I'm mostly a metalhead).

Album Rating: 3.5

Nice to see so much love for the Decemberists in here



Always thought of them as a really underaprecciated band.



I'm not that fond of any of their records after this one, though.

Album Rating: 5.0

Very difficult! Love both of your picks, I think I'd go for The Wanting Comes In Waves/Repaid.

Won't want for love isn't it a lovely night and rake song

Album Rating: 5.0

Haha, nice, we've mentioned half the album already and I agree with all picks.

Album Rating: 4.5

Gotta give Hazards of Love 4 some love too, such a perfect note to end on.

And y'all better stop talking shit about their stuff after this. King is Dead is my favorite Decemberists and What a Terrible World... is amazing too.

Album Rating: 5.0

Hmm, I'll check those again, hope they click this time!
