ReviewsRanked #7 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "Singer-songwriter Colin Meloy packs his storytelling eccentricities into pop-song packages of verse, hook and country-Smiths jangle...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This is the Decembrists' most immediate and outgoing album....'Dear Avery' is another sublime essay in memory, separation and regret...", "The band's latest set is more succinctly rewarding than anything it has done in years." -- Grade: A-, "Lead singer Colin Meloy's irrepressible baritone in all its full-throated glory stands in stark contrast to the unplugged ensemble's dulcet tones.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "'January Hymn' and 'June Hymn' flutter by like the gentle campfire ballads they evoke...", Ranked #26 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums of 2011'- "A Clutch of Warm, Literate Country-Rock Songs.", "Harking back to the relative simplicity of PICARESQUE, this latest offering is a finessed folk-rock record to bring a little taste of long summer evening drives...", "Ten crisp roots-rock tunes in a mere 40 minutes....The singer appears most deeply engaged with THE KING IS DEAD's more direct, plainspoken moments...", "THE KING OF DEAD focuses on what made the Decembrists famous in the first place: Colin Meloy's lyrical oddities and the group's pastoral sound.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The whole album is warm to the touch....With straightforward songs, transparent emotions, a little gift both to their fans and themselves."

Additional InformationTheir sixth full-length studio outing finds the Decemberists exploring their American homeland, a region that has thus far eluded them.
