"Looking to explore deep into The Decemberist’ back catalogue I went into this album completely blind and sweet mother of god! . A Rock Opera! . A god damn Rock Opera.

"On the surface a one off album by a rock supergroup but as much as Grohl and Jones bring a lot of weight with them they are in the end nothing more than surrogates for another of Josh Hommme's bastard children. That's not to say there isn't any chemistry, they're clearly having a good time playin..." [+] Reply

"This album is proof of Darnielle's lyrical talent. With extremely poor sound quality, simple song structures, a voice that won't appeal to all and a mess of a concept, the album still stands up as completely amazing due almost entirely in part to the lyrics. Personal thought only, but with the in..." [+] Reply

"I think these American Recordings series should really be sold as Johnny Cash, by Rick Rubin. As Rubin's influence is what made the difference in Cash's career over the last decade of his life. What a gift that was to the music world. Every one of these is superb. While this one isn't my personal..." [+] Reply

"another ultra-catchy album where most songs have choruses to spare. I'll go over the highlights, "use it", "the bleeding heart show", "sing me spanish techno" and "star bodies", first.

"The arrangements are well thought out, particularly the duel guitars, and the production is a great example of analogue done right, warm while still retaining clarity and separation.

"This was one of my favorite albums when I was in high school. I played violin and loved indie rock and this album convinced me I didn't have to play guitar to be cool (I mean, I was wrong, but at least it got me through high school)." Reply
