Just got My hands on the new album. its a much more straight forward folk rock album than in the past. So far I'm really digging it, but to be fair straight forward folk rock is My bread and butter.

edit: just realized there are two threads, My bad....if the mods want to merge Mine with the original feel free

For some reason, it took a few spins but this album just blew me down. Gillian Welch is a true Goddess.

Thank ya, Sir

I actually rewrote the review after I got home last night and really sat down with it; ran it through the headphones and BAM--it clicked. I was a little uneasy with it at first, but I'm with you, every time I listen I love it more and more.

I am a big Decemberists fan, and loved Hazards of Love. The King is Dead is not bad, but it strikes me as fairly bland.
