The Decemberists new album was leaked later last week.
The Hazards of Love is very good.
However, upon listening, i recommend that you give time to listen to the entire album straight through.
It's very rock opera-esque.

Top Ten Albums [ep's too!] of 2009 [thus far]
1. Dark Was The Night - Various Artist.
This album is incredible.
2. Noble Beast - Andrew Bird
I've had this so long that it doesn't seem like it came out in 2009
Nevertheless, it is sooo good, and I can't wait to see him in April.
3. Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free - Akron/Family
"River" is FANTASTIC.
4. Blood Bank - Bon Iver
Down modded due to ep status, otherwise it would be number three on my list
I hate myself for not being able to go to the concert in December.
I blame christianity.
5. Merriweather Post Pavilion
It's good. You can't really deny it. Rothbury?
6. Lost Channels - Great Lake Swimmers
:)
7. Grrrr... - Bishop Allen
8. First Love [with Bonus] - Emmy The Great
9. Hold Time - M. Ward
10. Jaydiohead - Jaydiohead
I hate mashups, usually. But mixing Jay-Z with Radiohead...
Dirt Off Your Android anyone?
