Im sure I will listen to this but I think any sort of decemberist phase is in the past for me

7/22/2006 8:48:05 PM

Hahaha I was just about to say I used to love The Decemberists but I've kind of grown to hate them.

Same as how the arabs feel about the jews.

7/22/2006 10:43:33 PM

we are sooo over it

7/22/2006 11:00:13 PM

Except for The Tain.

I can still rock the fuck out to that.

7/22/2006 11:35:08 PM

the tain is without a doubt the best thing they've done. more sabbath riffs, dawgs.

7/22/2006 11:36:09 PM

I like THe Mariners Revenge

I haven't heard "The tain" though.

7/23/2006 12:02:52 AM

They mentioned in an interview that they want to continue in the same direction as "The Tain". I think "The Island" is going to be even longer. Interesting that they have a song called "Sons and Daughters"; that is who they toured with last year.

7/23/2006 3:05:53 PM

I'm excited about this.

7/23/2006 3:34:35 PM

i approve of this thread

where is this band from? b/c i swear someone said they were from the u.s. which blows my mind b/c of how british they sound (vocally & lyrically)

7/23/2006 10:32:05 PM

They're from Portland.

And I'll probably check this out, but I'm mostly over my Decemberists phase, too.

7/23/2006 11:38:37 PM

my decemberist's phase is in full swing. love their stuff right now (only recently discovered it)

7/23/2006 11:46:21 PM

I still cant get over the impact of the one-two punch Engine Driver and On The Bus Mall.

7/24/2006 12:11:54 AM

I used to want to marry "California One / Youth and Beauty Brigade".

7/24/2006 12:13:45 AM

I think I played Red Right Ankle on repeat for like a week.

That and Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect, which I still love.

7/24/2006 12:15:28 AM

while i do like the decemberists,

i just clicked this to see how many times spookyjon and evermagenta had posted in it

It has leaked, although I haven't gotten my hands on it yet....

8/14/2006 5:54:49 PM

http://www.zshare.net/audio/04-o-valencia-mp3.html

There's track 4 "O Valencia"

Still looking for more

EDIT: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=5D893C6D331C5610

Tracks 1-8 are on that (9 and 10 missing)

"I wish more than anything that I could share it with you, but I've got to obey the rules (esp now that they're über-scary major label folks). I'll just say this: it's better than you could have ever hoped..."

Duet with Laura Veirs = hotness

8/14/2006 9:20:33 PM

Okay, "The Island..." is hot as fuck. I would definitely let this song rape me.

8/14/2006 9:39:32 PM

Wow... thanks for posting this. I had no idea it would leak this early. The first track is HELLA good. I've listened to it 3 times on repeat

8/14/2006 11:50:29 PM

By the way track 8 on that leak is screwed up. It plays part of the song and then loops one line over and over.

8/15/2006 9:00:11 AM

damnit, im off the internet for one day and look what happens

8/15/2006 3:26:41 PM

I gotta say, I don't think it's that great. I feel them creeping towards adult contemporary with lyrics from encyclopedia pages.

8/15/2006 11:49:28 PM

soooo, which bit torrent site has this leaked on?

8/16/2006 2:05:28 AM

Oink.

8/16/2006 10:44:14 AM

Also, if people want an invite to Oink, shoot me a PM, but only if you'll actually use it.

8/16/2006 12:12:17 PM

Heres the whole album

Thanks

8/16/2006 8:59:15 PM

THis album is hot and im only halfway through it.

8/16/2006 9:45:11 PM

meh

8/17/2006 12:44:20 AM

I just got stoned and listened to it all.


FANTASTIC!

8/17/2006 1:47:45 AM

I remember reading that the drummer was quitting and devoting her time to some other band after their last album. Did she? Without her backup vocals, I don't think I can stand to listen to that guy's voice for more than a few minutes.

8/17/2006 8:00:24 PM

that she did.

8/19/2006 8:31:28 AM

8/19/2006 9:27:17 AM

thanks cif. I'm diggin the album. The first two songs are fucking stellar! listened to it three times through already

8/19/2006 11:46:29 AM

I downloaded it earlier this week off of www.ateaseweb.com (radiohead's website) and I thought it was a great album.

The Island, and Yankee Bayonet were my favorites on first listen.

8/19/2006 1:04:14 PM

just heard Yankee Bayonet, i had never given the decemberists a listen before but i love what i hear

9/24/2006 11:18:25 PM

10/3/2006 11:30:16 AM

10/4/2006 10:54:24 AM
