Listened to my stepdad's band (blues berry jam) dish out some nice bluesy jams last night at their semi annual warehouse party. Good BBQ, booze and music!

The Decemberists - "The Hazards of Love"
I just can't make up my mind about this disk. On the one hand, it's extremely inventive, crossing over lots of genres. And it's a concept album, for which I am always a sucker.
On the other hand, the heavy guitars, when employed, have that nagging sort of overdriven transistor sound (with harsh, even-numbered harmonics) rather than the sweeter sound of overdriven tube amps. I have no idea what was actually used, but that's how it sounds. Also, it's mixed extremely loud, which I don't usually like.
Still, it's intriguing and segments of it have really gotten hold of me.
Anyway, I haven't been this bipolar about a disk in a long time. Definitely worth a listen.

Whippersnapper, you've put into words what I've also felt about that album. The least listened to out of my other Decemberists selections. Has yet to grab me.

That is such a detailed, nerdy critique. I love it.  Just one reason I keep coming here.
