I adore Infanta and we both go down together. The mariner's revenge song is awsome! I saw the decemberists at massaya collage and I was so happy to see you in person!

You call "yankee bayonet" average but provide zero support for such a foolish assertion. Oh, and I can't help but admire the brilliance of comparing "shankill butchers" to Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect. One has a beat, the other doesn't. It's like saying you don't like "lucy in the sky with diamonds" because it's not like hey jude. moron. Did a high schooler write this?

The moment I heard the "La-ahhhhh" part, I was immediately trying to recall where I had heard it before, and eventually I was reminded of Odalisque. Also, I must disagree with your evaluation of "Yankee Bayonet". In my opinion, it was one of the best tracks on the album. As stated many times before, the voices complement each other magnificently, and I found the song to be extremely catchy. I agree with Calvin.

The bridge, I'd argue, is probably the best moment on the album. And I agree with some posters who think highly of “Yankee Bayonet”. The bridge, I’d argue, is probably the best moment on the album.

The melody is catchy, but it's a boring execution. Average. The two worst songs on the album are "The Perfect Crime no. 2" and "When The War Came". The former only survives on decent production and good guitars - the melody is poor and the chorus is awful. The latter has a good chorus, but it's verse is terrible. The album, though, is their best to date. It actually grows on you instead of climaxing in the first week. Give it a spin. “Shankhill Butchers” is an okay track, but probably fails to catch more attention because of its production. The melody is catchy, but it’s a boring execution. Average.

It just seems to get better and better. I agree with you about shankill butchers (though it's not as bad as angels and angles, which I can't even listen to), but I think you might be missing something with Crane Wife 1+2. Normally I'd be bemoaning the fact they weren't split into seperate tracks (a pet peeve that pretty much ruins Godspeed you Black Emperor for me), but these are more 2 halves of a whole than they are two seperate tracks. The first half is the discovery and growing attraction, uptempo excitement type stuff. The second half is the slow, tentative growth of actual love over the earlier infatuation. I think it really works - and wouldn't work as well split into two. This album has been getting more and more playtime as the weeks go by. It just seems to get better and better.
