mario_marinato This album is on my 2011 Top 10: http://www.osarcofago.blogspot.com/2011/12/os-melhores-discos-de-2011-parte-1.html

naotas_forehead The hidden track at the end of This Is Why We Fight is my favorite song on the album. And I'm being 70% serious.
-
farmgirlblues I hadn't listened to this album all the way through in a while (I assume that having "June Hymn" on repeat all summer doesn't really count). I gave it a listen last night and just fell in love all over again. I liked "The King is Dead" just fine at first but it has grown on me to an unreal extent.
-
klay7500 Like everyone else said, this and Crane Wife are dangerously close for their best album.
-
theblackjay The further we go along this year, I realize how wonderful an album this is. In same sentiments as recent posters, The Crane Wife is my favorite by them, this is close and getting closer.
-
beyondmountains I'm seriously debating whether or not to call this their best album. The only rival for me would be Crane Wife.
-
a-Me-with-a-You The one to beat for album of the year...
-
licoricepizza "The Crane Wife" was always my favorite by them, but this one may have overtaken it. And after seeing them perform (in support of it) last night, that was the final thing that did it. They were more playful on stage! And really happy to have everyone hear the new stuff, which the crowd ate up. If you can, make sure to catch this album's tour! :D

AceOfSpades24 June and January Hymns are awesome. Also I'm a sucker for harmonicas.
-
ubermenschean Wow, what a damned good album. I am very surprised it is this good, definitely the best I've heard by this band so far.
-
skippingboy123 HATE: "All Arise". DISLIKE: "Rox in the Box". LIKE: "Rise to Me", "Dear Avery", "Calmity Song" REALLY LIKE: "Don't Carry It All", "This Is Why We Fight" LOVE: "January Hymn", "Down by the Water", "January Hymn" That's my feelings for the album.

pabulous boooooooring
-
the18thbeatle They're nearly a dead ringer for Blue Rodeo at a lot of times on this album. Not that that's a bad thing.

BluishPenguin The Decemberists' answear to Radiohead
-
progjunky i feel like they listened to all my favorite albums, and then cut this one.
-
ETruesdel I, too, am in love with this album. there are only 2 songs on it I'm not crazy about- All Arise and Rise to Me- and I cannot stop playing June Hymn. Colin Meloy is a songwriting genius...
-
SleepingWarrior I cannot get enough of this album. [2]
-
Ohrenweide Remebers me on "toad the wet sprocked" sometimes.
-
MagicalEddie Haha. Like "The Queen Is Dead". Smiths reference. Very clever, Decemberists.
-
TheHochhaus I think it's their best one. and other albums will do hard beating them for the album-of-the-year -2011-award!
