Decemberists - The Crane Wife
The Hammered:
No, actually. I didn't necessarily mean "ridiculous" in a bad way.
VonDook:
"The Perfect Crime 2" and "When The War Came" were the only two songs that didn't really click with me. The rest is pretty excellent.
hoax:
I agree with VonDook on "The Perfect Crime 2" and "When The War Came". I like the added guitars and drums on the whole album, but that they didn't stop with the mandolins or accordians. I really like "The Crane Wife #3," and the first half of "The Crane Wife #1 and #2"...so I guess it's #1?
I think Colin's melodies have a greater range this album, which I enjoy.
Sons and Daughters makes me smile, nod my head and tap my toes like crazy.
sjbrot:
For whatever reason, I'm just not digging the new album. If I were to give it a rating on five, it would probably be a three, which isn't bad but not up to their normal standards.
There are some serious highlights, such as "Sons & Daughters". The rest comes off as really stale and pointless stuff that I just don't care to spend my time on.
The Hammered:
I must disagree about Perfect Crime and When the War Came, but I hope we can all agree that The Island is great. They work well with longer songs (California One, live Chimbley Sweep, and the Tain, specifically).
