New Decemberists
Tom:
Definitely more the former that the latter.
Shaolin:
Hm, I just listened through it once, so this opinion is not really firm yet, but still. I thought it wasn't that good. Just like Crane Wife had only two really good tracks (Crane Wife 3 and Sons & Daughters) this is even worse it seems. I want more "July, July!", "Legionnaire's Lament" and "Clementine" awesomeness. Castaway and Cutouts was a truly great album. If this is not interrupting the topic too much - any suggestions on artists similar to that album? I'm not really in this scene and only know very few bands like this, for example The Shins and would appreciate any recommendations. :)
phooey:
I didn't even know this was out. I'm an awful fan. However, I am giving it a first listen, and I'm about pissing myself with excitement, so envy me.

Red House Painter's first self-titled album is a similar beast except kinda slower and a little more depressing. Also, if you only want the pop side get a hold of Transatlanticism.
billiumbean:
So, half of anybody loves the album, and the other half thinks it's garbage. I smell a cult classic in the works.
I'm on the "love it" side, for the record.
