Rate it 5 stars. You know you want to.

That's my favorite echolyn album if I was pressed to pick one. As the World is a close second. All their stuff is fantastic. Clap


I'm tempted to.  The problem is, there's a couple of songs I don't really like on there, and I don't feel the album is quite as strong as Mei or Cowboy Poems Free.  However, "Georgia Pine," "Lovesick Morning" and "The End is Beautiful" are stunning.

And then there's "The Arc of Descent."  I love the music...but those lyrics...wow...


I love Mei and Cowboy Poems Free, but they don't quite match TEIB for me--especially because I really love every song.

I can understand that though.

Yeah, there are definitely people I like better. LOL

I was rooting big time for Mitt Romney back in the primaries last year, but it didn't work out. Ouch

I've never heard that album, but the song or two I heard of Discipline didn't really hold my interest.

I think I'll try them out someday though.

Hard to say if you would like them or not.  Matthew Parmenter reminds me a lot of Peter Hammill, except that I enjoy Discipline a lot more than I enjoy VdGG.  I suspect it is probably because Discipline uses a lead guitar versus a cat strangling sax but whatever the reason I like Discipline more.

I'm still kind of on the fence with The Decemberists, but I haven't heard The Crane Wife yet, and that sounds like "that is where it is at".

The sax is my favorite part of VDGG (favorite?). LOL

I love the Crane Wife, 5 stars for sure.

But the difference between the Crane Wife and Hazards for me is like the difference between CTTE and Relayer. I'd give them both 5 stars, but I still easily prefer one over the other (CTTE over Relayer and Hazards over TCW).

Oh, and Miketor, if you haven't got Dire Straits' Live Alchemy, you need it badly. There's a ten minute + take of Once Upon A Time In The West and it's just Heart

I took a walk at lunch and listened to Her Majesty The Decemberists on my iPod.  And I am still on the fence.  They are decent.  Nothing objectionable like death metal growls or seemingly out of tune playing but nothing exciting either.

Walter's "89" troll is just loltastic to me.  I can see why people get upset, but I just end up laughing at it all.

Her Majesty is their worst album. Wink

Still good though.
