Do The Decemberists have people fooled?

I was mildly interested in this band after seeing them appear here and looking at a few reviews.  But after this lengthy and rambling thread, I'm REALLY interested to see what all the fuss (pro and con) is about. So the latest is a good place to start then? The latest and the Crane Wife.

Same here - I will definitely make the latest my next purchase, if only out of sheer curiousity.

The qualitative elements of post-89 sounds and the villains that craft them are part of a world that has nothing to do with the pre-89 era. Pillage and despicable "developments" in sound have ensured that this era is ruled by nothing but smut. Only qualified pre-89 artists have the right to produce music, for they come from a better age and bring their talents to the fore (Talents which are unattainable to modern deceivers). So go ahead, consume the lies of the decemberists and the mars volta and opeth or whatever other chicanery you wish to imbibe... just know that every time you follow these demagogues, you're neglecting a pre-1989 artist and his/her masterpieces.

Yes. I thought as much. You are actually barking mad. Ok. Now I know its safe to completely ignore everything you say.

Actually, he is indeed trolling. It's just that he's so closed-minded that he doesn't realize he's trolling.

Actually Walter is right (something I thought I'd never say). He used artist as a singular so the pronoun should be singular as well.

Good call, Greg! It seems that being told to stop trolling and get the hell out of here didn't work, so perhaps we should just bury him under a ton of irony.

Good luck getting that out of your head now - I probably should have included a warning

oh man... can't wait to hear this.  But NOT turning down Eartha Kitt to listen to it right now

I would think that his grammar competence is the least of his problems...

Micky that is a great pic, did you take it yourself?
