The Decemberists: The Hazards of Love

[BSmack]

I'm halfway through my first listen. Holy freaking crap this is good.

[peter dragon]

crap i forgot that was coming out.. thanks for the reminder..

[PrimeX]

Their best album yet imo.

[Screw_Michigan]

Good call, B_ilk. I've been too wrapped up listening to the super deluxe Ten re-issue to remember about their new album. Thanks again.

[Shoalzie]

Listened to it today...very cool.

EDIT--It's better the second and third time through...

[Fat Bones]

Thanks for the heads up, that is good stuff.
Silversun Pickups, Autolux and The Gathering are some of the better releases I've recently had in rotation.

I don't know if I'd call it their best (I'm still partial to Picaresque), but they, without a doubt, have kicked it into high gear ever since they signed with Capitol. I've been very impressed.

Makes me still extremely pissed to think I missed seeing them with the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra in 05 because my former boss was/is a fucking idiot.

Concur. This album is going into heavy rotation.
