There is some truly horrible music on this.

Saw them in concert last Summer and liked HoL a lot. Can't say I listen to it much lately though. It's one of those "start to finish" releases.

No band has disappointed me more than the Decemeberists after their debut. I haven't liked one thing since.

i liked it. i'm not very invested in the band though, so i've never had hopes (high, low, or otherwise). this new one won't make my top 20 though. i saw them live years ago and they were very good.

I don't think it's their best but it's on par with their last couple I'd say. I do love The Rake's Song, it's one of their best in a long time.

That sounds terrible. Indie Rock Opera? No thanks.

agreed. it's not as horrible as one might think, even though i really haven't had the desire to pull it out in months.

This album is terrible. And I was really looking forward to it. I agree with Sanchez - there's usually a couple good songs on an album, but other that the Rake's Song there's nothing I ever want to hear again on this one.
