The beauty of Radio Paradise is its eclecticism. The Decemberists aren't for everyone, but that's why mute buttons were invented. I for one love them, and this song in particular.

I like the message of this song. I like the beat. I like the vocals. I like the fact that they were able to incorporate the word "dirigible" into the lyrics and, one up from that, were able to rhyme it. Giving this a 7.  whatever...yawn. |

Yup. Especially the lousy falsetto-sounding background vocal.

I was just going to comment on how great the lyrics are, esp rhyming "dirigible" and rhyming it well. So instead I'll say that it's really cool that it is also a round. I just love this song the more I hear it. So much to like!

I even like to suck on a cinnamon stick when I'm thinking hard at work. I want to believe that the line, "Fill our mouths with cinnamon" was more a figurative term than a literal one...  |

This is a pleasant song, except that the fade-out lasts for about 65 minutes and drums itself into your skull.  |

nah. why not? it's just the contrived nasal brogue spewing pseudo-dadaist 'stories', the 'period' instruments striving for authenticity, and general shabbiness.
