But their older stuff is just taking off of populist folk and adding some old-timey folk instruments, I still fail to see how that equates to ripping off NMH

never liked this band, so im inclined to agree with this review without having heard it

Witty summary

The Decemberists are truly hurt by your honest opinion Adam, therefore it must change.

MUST YOU KEEP REMINDING US DOWNER

Album Rating: 3.5

i totally see your point here, but if you try not to think about what this COULD have been it's still a very enjoyable, inoffensive little album for me

Album Rating: 4.0

The trouble is, because of their back catalog, it could have/should have been amazing, so it's inoffensive/blandness is made worse. Not a 2 though.

Blandness? This. Is. The DECEMBERISTS!





...well that was lame

never could get into these guys. good review, dont think ill check out the album though.

Album Rating: 4.0

I disagree, but it's nice to see both sides represented. Castaways and Cut-outs is the shit though, and I never got the NMH stuff although I just assumed I was looking at it wrong.



This is a really nice album if you don't put too much weight on it. It's not as epic as HoL or CW, but it carves its own niche. This is definitely a summer album, and probably on the forefront of my summer playlist (along with as always American Football).



The review tbh seems kind of weak. Just because it's not what you expected from the new Decemberists album doesn't make it lifeless. Your main point seems to be that it's bland and lifeless, but I don't think that that's true; I think you're just disappointed because you expected a prog album and got a thoroughly folk album instead.

Adam Thomas, always here to shit on dreams

their old shit sounds so much like NMH but without the whole i want to go back in time and bang a dead jewish girl vibe

I don't agree with it, but I can definitely appreciate it.

Album Rating: 3.0

I would have agreed yesterday after my first listen, but god damnit this is growing on me.

why cant colin meloy go back to murdering children he was so good with a guitar then

Album Rating: 3.5

review needs to go more into depth but you definitely got your point across, as a huge fan of this band I won't be happy if I agree with this

Album Rating: 3.5

Somehow I'd like this better if it wasn't a Decemberists record.
