The Decemberists have become one of my top 10 bands of all time. Absolute genius stuff and I started out hating them, mostly because you either love or hate Meloy's voice. This EP was my first introduction to them and I hated it. Over time I grew to love them but still mostly not big on this EP. EILS is particularly bad, but I did warm to Pregnant for the last time. His recent Kinks cover EP is really good.
