The Decemberists
 
Really great band. Anyone else like them? My favorite song is Clementine.

If there's a person in this forum that actually dislikes the Decemberists, I'd like to know.

Because I'm pretty sure there isn't

RetiredAt21 03-29-2006 12:58 PM

I don't think I could ever dislike them, they are too good.

convulsion 03-29-2006 02:06 PM

incredible band i really like engine driver

dei 03-29-2006 02:13 PM

Decemberists are cool. I really liked their first two albums. [i]Picaresque[/i] was a bit weak, in my opinion. And "The Sporting Life" is annoying. But Colin Meloy is cool. I met him once.

RetiredAt21 03-29-2006 02:33 PM

Where'd you meet him?

Sep 03-29-2006 02:34 PM

I've only heard like 4 or so songs by the guys but they're good. If I see one of their albums in the shop sometime I'll buy it.

I hate the Decemberists.

Zamboni Blue 03-29-2006 03:16 PM

ahh yes the decemberist. Very good band, very good lyrics. Been to one of there concerts before, and it was the second best concert i've ever been too mext to The Of Montreal show i went to, they put on a great show.

moderaterock222 03-29-2006 04:26 PM

i also hate the decemberists. their lyrics are pretty good, but that doesn't make them a good band. i wish i liked them, but i could write a decemberists song in 2 minutes i reckon.

Matt? 03-29-2006 04:33 PM

not a fan, i bought picaresque thinking it was the best thing ever, havn't listened through the whole album once

just boring and annoying to me

fingis 03-29-2006 04:38 PM

i really like the song oceanside

FA 03-29-2006 04:41 PM

The Decemberists are one of my favorite bands, I love them.

pikester 03-29-2006 05:50 PM

I like.

Glitterati 03-29-2006 06:52 PM

I enjoy the music that is made by The Decemberists.

Zappa 03-29-2006 07:02 PM

They're sweet.

Luxor 03-29-2006 07:31 PM

Ah, finally some haters.

I personally am a fan, but it's good to know they exist.

Happymeal 03-29-2006 07:59 PM

I'm not always in the mood for them, but when I am it usually lasts a while. "The Bachelor and the Bride", "Odalisque" and "We Both Go Down Together" are my favorite Decemberists songs.

Rockafella 03-29-2006 08:22 PM

Brilliant band. I had to resight Engine Driver for a Drama performance and it went really good actually.

morrissey 03-30-2006 01:23 AM

Great band etc

RetiredAt21 03-30-2006 08:53 AM

I'd love to see them live.

sketchyjoe 03-30-2006 01:53 PM

I was really pissed off when I missed them the last time they came near me.

el doctor 03-30-2006 01:57 PM

I saw Colin Meloy solo and he puts on a great show, very intimate yet funnny. After seeing that though, I really want to see the whole band perform.

StrangelyBrewed13 03-31-2006 11:49 PM

good ****

sgrevs 04-01-2006 12:24 AM

I love them, though I only hav Picaresque, obviously, I must love.

I want more...

Yeah, I saw him too. El Rey. It was a pretty fun show. We got to name the sheep "Eric with a C with a K."

Definitely get [i]Castaways and Cutouts[/i]. It's their best album, in my opinion.

FA 04-01-2006 01:53 AM

They were playing a show near me late in '05 and I missed it, I was so depressed that I let myself miss their show :(. On a lighter note, I have some of their live stuff which is fantastic as well as Colin Meloy Live at Beachcomber, which is pretty good stuff too. It's funny, during [I]Bachelor and the Bride[/I], Meloy forgets the words and he has to have the crowd sing along with him.

[QUOTE=neighborhood fascist]Definitely get [i]Castaways and Cutouts[/i]. It's their best album, in my opinion.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's my favorite album of their's too.

mr_jackalope 04-02-2006 02:30 AM

I hate their lyrics and Meloy's style of singing, so I could never get into them. They also seem to come off as all style/gimmick and no real substance.

RetiredAt21 04-02-2006 08:38 AM

All style/gimmick? Explain please.

neighborhood fascist 04-02-2006 10:30 AM

No real substance? Explain please.

MindlessPickle 04-02-2006 10:34 AM

Only heard picaresque... didn't like it. Quite useless post, really.

neighborhood fascist 04-02-2006 10:37 AM

Quite useless life, really.





Before anyone gets upset, know that I was joking.

Nope your right, a life without The Decembrists is an empty one.

Kurtz 04-02-2006 06:54 PM

I love The Decemberists.

Sam 04-02-2006 08:32 PM

I'm actually gonna go ahead and disagree with you there.

And America does if America says it's so, it's so!
