    You've GOT to be kidding me. Insufferably pretentious horsesh-t.

    They have their moments, but in the end the Decemberists are just too pretentious and annoying to bear. Someone should tell the singer he's not British. He's from Montana, but you'd never know it with the psuedo-accent and the references to trousers, knickers, etc. Give me a break.

    Colin Meloy's songwriting makes them one of the strongest bands working today.

    The band's newfound willingness to experiment leads to overkill.
