hey it's still a great album

oh valencia is better than we both go down together though

that's a fact

Album Rating: 3.0

All these songs are pretty good but it's obvious why they were excludsed from the LP. Burying Davy and Sonnet were my two favourites, and they wouldn't fit on The King Is Dead at all imo.

Album Rating: 2.0

This is the second thing I've heard by these guys and the second thing I disliked. I guess they're just not for me

Album Rating: 3.5

what was the first thing

Album Rating: 2.0

Uh their full-length from this year? The King is Dead iirc

Album Rating: 3.5

That's what I figured. You have only heard material from their Americana/country phase. Before you throw in the towel try these two tracks from their earlier albums, and get back to me on what you think:



The Wanting Comes in Waves from The Hazards of Love (2008)

Sons & Daughters from The Crane Wife (2006)

I'd also try:
On the Bus Mall from Picaresque

July, July! from Castaways & Cutouts

/Decemberists fanboy

I listened to all four, and yeah I'm pretty surprised on how different they sounded. 'On the Bus Mall from Picaresque' was the best of the four imo

Yeah, On the Bus Mall is definitely one of their best songs
