Decemberists - The Crane Wife
Jyan:
I was worried with the move to a major label they would start to become stale and commercial, but what I've heard (which is, admittedly, not much), it's still the same Decemberists I've grown to love over the years, with a bit of a change in style.
The Hammered:
I bought it today and listened to it just now.
First impressions (this is only one listening, so subject to change):
I pretty much love all of it, although I thought it faltered a little towards the end; The Crane Wife (mainly part 2) dragged a bit, and Sons and Daughters seemed pretty corny, though to be fair I imagine it'll be very good live, particularly the ending. The other songs were great, particularly The Island, Yankee Bayonet, and O Valencia.

--- End quote ---
Like "Play something familyoiyer" in "Billy Liar." Who pronounces anything like that?!
The Hammered:
The Tain part 5 is more ridiculous than both of those. "Your makeup rah-OO-ahns!"
schimmy:
Am I the only one who finds the mispronunciations charming?
