compares favorably to early Burzum to be honest, maybe even Drudkh as well without as much acoustic and keyboard. Very grim with lots of chord movement and subtle shifting around a central theme. Well worth $4 if you ask me.
The Decemberists - The King Is Dead
I imagine a scene like this:
Colin says to Jenny, "Jenny, we've ripped off pretty much every cliche I can think of, shall we just go for note for note now?", to which Jenny replies "a capital suggestion!" and we end up with this album featuring Neil Young/Bob Dylan harmonica riffs all over the place, a note for note rip off of the first riff of L7's Shove, a note for note rip off of REM's One I Love, and others that are very familiar but I'm only 6/10 of the way through the album and I'll have to keep an ear open for other things.
It's kind of ridiculous and short of Moby and Beck I can't think of any group or artist that reappropriates other music to their own and plays it off like nothing is actually happening.
