    Finally got to listen to the album over the weekend and I thought it was incredible! Definitely lived up to all the hype I had heard before I got around to listening to it and I've been streaming this ever since!! Loving Calamity Song, Down by the Water & June Hymn best at the moment.

    What a January so far- this, Cage the Elephant, new Iron & Wine that has been streaming- I am a very happy listener!

    I listened to the Iron & Wine album over at teamcoco yesterday - I thought it was pretty cool, a different sound/direction then previous records, but cool. I haven't heard Cage the Elephant - any good?

    I picked up the physical CD today - really so that I could see the lyrics for this - the depth of the song writting is incredible....not to mention the arrangment of the instruments as well, but this is a beautiful, beautiful album. Top 5 of 2011 (so far) for me!

    Agreed on the Iron & Wine front! As for Cage the Elephant- so good! I definitely would pick it up, solid from front to back. Really has been impressing me!

    Loving the new record. Can't wait for the sold-out House of Blues show next Saturday.

    I'm seeing them at the Beacon on Monday from the front row. I checked Ticketmaster on Thursday evening and got very lucky. :-)

    The new album is fabulous. I get a strong R.E.M. vibe from a lot of tunes, especially Calamity Song. Not surprising, since Peter Buck plays on several tracks. I was lucky enough to be able to see The Decemberists at Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland on 9/11, where they debuted a couple of the tunes off this record and I'll be seeing them at the Schnitzer Auditorium on 2/19. I love a Decemberists' hometown show!

    Anyone get his children's book? Wildwood My friend recommened it to me a few weeks ago (I didn't even know he wrote one). Pretty cool children's fantasy book (like Where The Wild Things Are and Chronicles Of Narnia). His wife did the illustrations.
