I hate to say a less than positive word about a truly wonderful evening but - they didn't play Mariner's Revenge Song at the Forum... Crying or Very sad

There, got that one off my chest... Seriously, glad you enjoyed it. Smile

Talking of official previews (see "build a rocket boys!" thread) have all you Decemberists fans seen this?

It's actually out next week, too! Smile

the new decemberists album sounds like theyve been listening to alot of Ryan Adams and Whiskeytown!

I love Down by The Water...!

Sounds like a REM song.

Not surprising, as Peter Buck guests on it. Smile

I read an interview last week with them and they said it was all starting to sound like REM so what better thing to do than get Peter Buck involved!

Just getting into the new album. As everyone is saying, it sounds like early REM
In fact, "Calamity Song" sounds so much like "Talk About The Passion" off Murmur, that it made me smile and dig out the old REM album.

Good job they've involved Buck otherwise they might be getting a call from Berry Buck Mills Stipe. Smile

Having said that, this is a very good album from a very good band and I'm really enjoying it.

I was getting a Neil Young vibe off it. The early REM vibe seems to have passed me by completely. Smile
