The Decemberists | Picaresque & M.I.A. | Arular
It's finally here. It seems like we've been talking about the Picaresque leak for ages. As of today, your MP3s go from 'illegaly downloaded leaked version of the album' to plain old "illegaly downloaded version of the album.'
Tiny Mix Tapes celebrates the release with a perfect score for Picaresque....
"The Decemberists somehow just get better and better with every release. From 5 Songs to Castaways and Cutouts to Her Majesty, each record trumps the last one in terms of quality, scope, and praise. So when it came time to release their third full-length, Colin Meloy and company did exactly what everyone thought they'd do: released their best and most ambitious album to date."
Stylus gave it a B+
Rolling Stone voted lowest with only 3.5 stars.
LargeHearted Boy posted a Decemberists' Daily Download
The Decemberists are in need of financial assistance. It's time to pay for the album. Order Picaresque.
Pitchfork, who seems to stick to the 'one major release per day' method, passed on Picaresque today, in favor of M.I.A.'s, actually released, Arular. With an 8.6, it's the newest addition to their 'best of' list. No surprises there.
Happy World Water Day

while i don't think Picaresque is as good as Her Majest, it's on par w/ Castaways imo.
i'd take any of their records over M.I.A. tho :)

Go listen to your new Daft Punk record then you trendoid.
I loved the video, but it looked worse on MTV2 than online. Though I do appreciate they set it up so we could choose to download a gigantotron version.

Can we talk about how annoying Colin Meloy's voice is? I love the songs and crazy lyrics, but he just grates after a while. No one ever seems to mention it and I can't believe I am the only one who feels this way. Then again, some people think Ben Gibbard can sing.
