Hitting the streets earlier this year, the Decemberists' seventh studio album, 'What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World' is one of the band's most honest releases of their career. That honesty is thanks in part to frontman Colin Meloy's willingness to open himself up rather than taking on the role of a narrator. As we highlighted in our review of 'What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World,' "each song sounds fully realized and fleshed out to its fullest potential."

Needless to say, this LP has been on our turntable since the day we picked it up. And we couldn't be more excited to spread the joy of the new album by giving you a shot at scoring its deluxe box set!

We've partnered with the Decemberists and Capitol Records to give you a chance to win this massive prize, packed full of goodies even the biggest fan will cherish forever. Included in the box set are:
