Alright this is my first post so I'm going to try this out.
I think this comment is a little harsh dude. I mean yes, you admitted you aren't really a fan of the Decemberists but they were definitely never in the gutter. I've been a Decemberists fan for awhile, even though I wasn't particularly crazy about
Hazards of Love, but the fact that you're complimenting them for dumbing down their lyrics so you can better enjoy it? I don't know. Something strange about that. I'm not a fantasy kid, but what's wrong with listening to lyrics that offer fantastical views? The Decemberists also bring a lot of nautical themes too...have anything against pirates? I'm not crazy about My Chemical Romance so maybe I shouldn't be saying anything to you- but I've never, ever felt alienated by their lyrics. You have to listen to the songs as a whole. Give
Castaways and Cutouts another try. Really beautiful songs on that. Don't fret on the words.
