Hmm...I picked this up based on raves from folks on
the Big Takeover list, and one of things that
immediately struck me was that these folks clearly
sounded like they were into Neutral Milk Hotel. I
think The Decemberists disc is a mixed bag -- some
good stuff, but at times they can be somewhat precious
and overwrought.
Side note -- the lead singer of The Decemberists is
going out on the road on his own in early 2006.
