Yeah, they're worth listening to. The lead vocalist doesn't have a super great voice, but I think their lyrics are very good. As far as I can discern, anything that's considered "indie" gets lumped together, without any regard to similarities / dissimilarities, so I'm not surprised that they get put in the same category as The Shins. FWIW, I've only listened to small snippets of songs by The Shins, and none of them hooked me, so I wouldn't expect The Decemberists to be like The Shins.

The Shins are a band that take some time to really digest, it took a few listens before I really started appreciating their genius. ;)

Cold Acre by Augie March. Check out this brilliant band at www.augie-march.com. I am going to see them in a couple of weeks when they play in Hobart (that's the capital of Tasmania for those who are interested).

I can't believe you just said that! http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...l/gobsmack.gif That is pure blasphemy. And that's no way to make me like Mr. Perkins any better, in fact now my dislike of him is personal. :p ;) :lol:
