I love The Decemberists. New album October 3!
Anyone else a fan?

    I really like them a lot :D

    A new album - cool! I'm gonna keep that in mind for fall.

    New album? Good to hear. I thought Picaresque was fantastic. I'm hoping to see them live later this summer.

    They are really good and I'm looking forward to the new album. I kind of feel like I like them a little less with each new record though... Castaways is the best, following Her Majesty, and then Picaresque last. I hope the new album changes that progression.
    I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah

    I only have Picaresque but that album rules.

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    I love The Decemberists!

    For me it goes Castaways and Cutouts, Picaresque, then Her Majesty.

    colin meloy said the new album wil be more like "the tain" than "picaresque" aka longer songs, some longer than 15 mins i think i read! anyway that should be good news for those of you who didn't like picaresque.

    i liked it, but not as well as castaways...but i don't have her majesty.

    "Eli, the Barrow Boy" is a brilliant song.
    I believe the children are our future... unless we stop them now...

    I'd agree with that. I got all the records from Itunes, except for 5 songs/The Tain. I picked that up on vinyl. I want to pick up the rest on vinyl, and though it's the record I like the least, I think Picaresque will be the first, just for the extra songs.

    But yeah, Castaways is def. my favorite. Favorite song tends to shift, right now it's Grace Cathedral Hill.

    I haven't listened to them much at all (just haven't gotten around to it), but I do have a few of their songs on my mp3 player (because a friend from here recommended them), and I really like all of those.
