The Decemberists...

Um... WOW?

I don't remember how I first started listening to The Decemberists.  But I really love their music.  And I think they may be natives of the Pacific NW.  I also have it in my head that they are more of my generation despite their music being of the Indie/Alternative variety.

I've been meaning to download and listen to their new album The Hazards of Love.  I knew absolutely nothing about it.  I DL'd it this morning.  I'm listening to it now.  And ... wow.

As soon as Prelude started I had the feeling that this was going to a special album.  Along the lines of Rock concept albums where you needed to listen to the album as a whole rather than just as individual songs. 

I'm four songs in now and with each new song, my eyebrows raise and I repeat. ... wow.
