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.

Okay, I've had a little time to process this song better, and I like it. I think the cinnamon reference is probably Biblical and metaphorical. In ancient times, things like olive oil, cinnamon and even sheep were considered precious, because they were either difficult to obtain, or were very labor-intensive to keep for what they produced.

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.{#Sunny}

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!

Oh, that was just horrible... I love cinnamon - put it in my coffee every morning, and mix it with honey to put on toast.  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...{#Bounce}

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

it's just the contrived nasal brogue spewing pseudo-dadaist 'stories', the 'period' instruments striving for authenticity, and general shabbiness.

The actual stats would support the opposite conclusion.  Only 16.4% of the ratings are less than a 5.  That means 83.6% think this is at least "decent".

I give it a 7.
