Iron and Wine is up first then The Decemberists and this repeats until the top five songs by both of them have battled... It's Iron then December, Iron then December, Iron then December... Five times, total of 10 songs and 5 pts. Let's begin this.
Round 1:
3. Tree By The River: "The sound of awkwardness... creepy old story of love...his beard made me listen to it" those are all reactions to this song by fans. This song isn't that bad i did see it live (in February?) it was really good but it was acoustic and this song isn't only acoustic it has many instruments.
vs.
6. Down By The Water: "Tap Tap Tap" and corny horn, this band knows how to make an entrance. "The sailor men of Portland" that's what a lot of people called them and i can hear why.
Round 2:
1. Walking Far From Home: This is "Folk" but this doesn't sound like any folk Ive heard before. I don't know what to say this song has too many effects to be called folk.
vs.
2. Calamity Song: The guitar is actually good, the song is catchy but then again this is folk. Indie folk for that matter and i am not a big fan of that rural feel.
Round 3:
5. Half Moon: Smooth and nice, but its still corny and awkward feeling. The back up vocals doesn't help at all.
vs.
4. Rox in The Box: This song is a lot better it has a better sound and its not straight up corny. The vocals are though they aren't the most genius but the instrumentation is great.
Round 4:
2. Me and Lazarus: Oh My God the awkwardness is just sustained with the effects on the bass or whatever that weird bleeping sound is. The instrumentation is wack, but like many of his fans say "he looks like a viking but sings like an angel".
vs.
7. All Arise!: God this farm feel is killing my mood I'm trying really hard to only compliment but this is just terrible. I'm kind of glad i didn't go to that concert this spring its just not my genre of music.
Round 5:
9. Glad Man Singing: I wonder what he was thinking when he made this song name... I bet he was really happy. The thinness of the song makes it a better and less awkward jam and yes i do like his vocals but the instrumentation always kills the mood.
vs.
5. January Hymn: the plucking of the guitar is good and smooth and his vocals are great. Like i said with Iron and Wine the thinness is their strength.

overall winner: Iron and Wine
Why: i don't really like either artist but when it come to folk The decemberists kill. i mean really they decimate But Iron and Wine has a better overall sound and plus he has an epic beard anyone with that much grass on thy chin must win... OK putting all jokes aside they are both hard albums to get into and unless you really like folk or Rural sound then i don't recommend buying this.
