I love the new album, but then again, I've loved almost everything they've done. The only exception is "The Perfect Crime #2" which annoys me because it's too repetitive. Strangely enough, my favorite Decemberists album is the one with the only song that I don't like.
But yeah, The Hazards of Love has some cool stuff on it. I like the way the tracks all lead into each other. It's a very fluid listening experience. I think the chorus on "The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid" is maybe the catchiest thing they've ever done.
