My personal hype builds...great video, beautiful song. I can feel it in my Colon.

agreed great vid great song. i guess it's finally time to bury the king is dead.

their only good album I M O is crane wife

and one decent song means nothing. Even "The King is Dead" had some great songs.

picaresque was on par if not better buttt k

"and one decent song means nothing"

Actually you can find videos of Meloy performing some other new songs live, and they're all pretty damn great.

The Decemberists have never released a bad album people. Personally, I think they are at their best the weirder and more experimental they are. I just hope the new one isn't as safe as TKID.

@onirium good to hear man! i just feel disappointment coming with this one but thats just my hunch.

Their new video for "Lake Song" (I didn't feel like doing another article about that, so I figured I'd post it here):

The song is definitely among their most beautiful ones in a very long time in my opinion. I'm loving the jazzy feel they gave it.
