Somehow I don't mind how with each album they seem to get more polished. These are nice songs.

I don't like this as much as the Sunset Tree but its still good. All the albums I've heard by them (like 5 or 6) have been good, they're probably one of the most consistently solid bands out there. Favorite songs: Lovecraft In Brooklyn, How To Embrace A Swamp Creature, Marduk T-Shirt Men’s Room Incident and Sept 15th 1983.

After listening to this I feel stupid for not getting any albums when I discovered them a year ago.

Pretty much gave up after the second track. Somewhere between Eliott Smith and The Decemberists...terrible vocals...

I didn't think it was anything special at all
Granted, I've only heard one other of their albums, so I can't really compare,
But this one seemed to be nothing too great
Very average

John Darnielle?

Who's that?

Their vocalist. I think he's amazing. He's got a great guest spot on Coffee, by Aesop Rock.

Amazing how? He doesn't have a particularly distinct voice, no range, and interprets the songs like any other regular Joe would. What exactly makes him better than 100 million other people that think they can sing? Are we talking about the same guy? What?
