The King is Dead the sixth studio album by The Decemberists from January 2011 was under serious consideration to be downgraded from a Burn to a Download to free up space.
However, after a listen it has been given a reprieve. Whether this is temporary or otherwise remains to be seen. As things stand it's a keeper.
It is significantly better than the only other thing I have by the band namely the CD version of The Crane Wife their 4th album from 2006. Had this been a burn it would certainly have been downgraded by now.
Apparently The King is Dead is the most pastoral, rustic record they've ever made. I must be a sucker for that sort of thing.
