The decemberists are gods
 

So is Aesop rock, Sage Francis, Elliott Smith, Camera Obscura, Atmosphere, Bright Eyes, MadLib, and Belle and Sebastian

OMG I Love my downloads

My cds all got stolen and I just got a whole bunch of new stuff and stuff I already had but man this is amazing.

Listening to the Crane Wife right now.

That's a whole heaping helping of Meh.

I hope you paid for those downloads young man.

No gods, a couple greats, a few goods, and some I haven't heard. Misleading.

Aesop Rock - He's ok
Sage Francis - a god
Elliott Smith - very very good
Camera Obscura - good
Atmosphere - very very good
Bright Eyes - Fluctuates from meh to very very good
MadLib - never heard em
Belle and Sebastian - meh

I think some of you missed Sage Francis' name in there.

Sage Francis is amazing.

Gods Awful maybe

Gods awful



excellent pun skippord

two points

I've always found The Decemberists to be overrated, especially seeing as they've somewhat been able to puncture the mainstream. They have some awesome lyrics and great songs but a lot of it does nothing for me, for some reason I find Colin Meloy's vocals a little annoying. I've never listened to Atmosphere or Sage Francis but people here tend to love them. From your list I think Belle and Sebastian and Elliott Smith are incredible though, the rest are good too, just nothing I listen to on a regular basis aside from Bright Eyes, who can be kind of hit or miss.

Rambling, where to begin?

I taste the summer on her peppery skin.

I really like the Decemberists, an American friend of mine showed me the video to 16 Military Wives and I thought I'd follow it by getting a copy of Picaresque, its got a real quality to it, which I can't quite put my finger on, same as Her Majesty the Decemberists. I think the albums are generally just pretty good to sit down and relax to, which frankly I find difficult with a lot of the albums I own.

Oh, good call on Camera Obscura as well, I haven't heard much of the new album, but I absolutely loved Underachievers Please Try Harder. Probably should at least download it.
