New Decemberists
TheFuriousWombat:
So the new Decemberists album lands in March. I wasn't excited for it, really. Somehow the idea of a rock opera sounded lame and the newest EP was disapointing. That all changed today when I downloaded a song from the new album off their website (it's up for free: http://www.decemberists.com/). Anyway the new track is about a guy who gets married, realizes he made a mistake and so, after his wife dies in child birth, proceed to finish off his children in gruesome ways. The track is big, crunchy, heavy and evil sounding. It has an intensity lacking in most Decemberists tracks and, to me, bodes very well for the album as a whole. I'm legitimately excited now. So, uh...thoughts? Anybody else looking forward to this or is everybody sick of these guys by now?
GMM:
Was unsure about the whole "rock opera" thing and then heard The Rake's Song and now I'm 100% on board.
Katherine:
I really like Colin Meloy's voice so I think it would be difficult for them to release an album that I would hate in its entirety. That being said, I head The Rake's Song last night on NPR's All Songs Considered and it got me very excited for this album.
Hat:
I have become less and less excited about new Decemberists since I had the realisation that I am never ever ever going to see them live.

Why Hat, do you live on the moon?
