[Kumajirou13]

It's a calm before the storm, it all goes downhill from here, or uphill, depending on what you like : D

[DuchessRococoPuff]

This song sounds like starlight, and warm summer breezes.

[andrewdrury1]

This sounds like a song from Explosions in the sky.

[jujumamaboy]

whats the name of the song that has the creepy kids singing???

[rhcp500]

@jujumamaboy The Hazards of Love 3 (Revenge!)

[Treldman]

My favorite part's 0:00 to 1:40

[KingCodimus]

I cried... just plain fuckin' beautiful....

[StageMan231]

I know that the album is essentially a rock opera, and I am wondering if there is any talk of a film or a production.

[Abzelgyte]

@StageMan231 That was actually the original plan, but it was something like, they couldn't POSSIBLY do it on the stage, as the stuff they wanted to do was impossible, or impractical. So, they settled with the album. They didn't want to do a film though, but who knows?

[guisar81]

Possibly my favorite bit of music (0:22-28) on the whole fantastic album.

[roymunson24]

saw them at the folk fest, awesome, wish it wasnt 102 degrees out

[mytwocatz14]

Saw them Friday night. absolutely amazing.

[Lachlann117]

some people don't like that segue-transition effect that is used mostly on concept albums but i love it, it makes if feel like on long song

[schizo181]

dude seriously stuff a dick down your throat and choke on it, people want to enjoy these songs, not read over and over again how you hate this album because it's "gay" or "corporate sounding" or whatever excuse you wanna make up for this

[ipodsucksballs]

Hey. I've been a fan of The Decemberists for some time now, and that means I've loved their old stuff.

But I bought this album and listened to it the whole way through, and then I listened to it again. It may not sound like their older stuff, but that just means one thing: they aren't getting stale, they're trying out new things, and it's hella good.

So, sure, if you like their older stuff, ok. Just don't make up other people's minds for them.

[wmbat711]
