The Decemberists: After the Bombs (2007)

 The Decemberists made thier major-label debut in 2006 with The Crane Wife, a landmark album for the group that saw them thrust into the spotlight. Unique for this album, however, is the abundance of B-sides and non-album tracks. Several fantastic outtakes were relegated to bonus track content, rather than potentially rounding the album out as a full double lp. Alas. However, they nearly make up a full album themselves, with the addition of some addional rarities from here and there, the band has another decent album under its belt. The band usually releases an EP of outtakes for every album they put out, starting with Picaresque and resuming with The King Is Dead. They didn't do that with either The Crane Wife nor The Hazards of Love, so this album could serve as a stand in for the Crane Wife outtakes ep, while picking up some loose ends.

After the Bombs (2007) would go as follows

Side One (23:25)

1. Everything I Try To Do, Nothing Seems to Turn Out Right (Billy Liar b-side) 4:03
   
2. Sunshine (Billy Liar b-side) 2:23
   
3. The Capp Street Girls (The Crane Wife demos) 2:57
   
4. After the Bombs (ITunes Bonus Track for The Crane Wife) 5:05
   
5. Hurdles Even Here (Starbucks Bonus Track for The Crane Wife) 4:30
   
6. Culling of the Fold (O Valencia! b-side) 4:27

1. The Perfect Crime #1 / The Day I Knew You'd Not Come Back (Starbucks Bonus Track) 15:11
   
2. Like a Lion (Preserve, Vol. 1) 4:47

I reckon this album has some nice flow, but it's not set in stone, obviously.
