(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)
Artist: The Decemberists
Album Title: What a terrible world, what a beautiful world
Year released: 2015
Details: Gatefold sleeve, Double LP, 180 gram, Laser etching on side D
The skinny: Working backwards through my Decemberists collection, their 7th studio album is a lighter and livelier work than their earlier material. I was released after a four year ‘hiatus of sorts’, but it felt more like a decade. “What a terrible world, what a beautiful world” did not disappoint, feeling like a breath of fresh air to combat all the evil pollutants we have to deal with in the daily news.
Standout track: “Make you better”

That laser etching is neat!

Yes. It’s a fun option for when the album doesn’t fit on one disc but it’s too short for a double.

Another of those bands that I really should like more than I do. Or at least I’ve tried to like more than I do…
Really beautiful looking LP, though. And a lovely etching… I do like a nice etching.
