COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Amusing submitted by marshd on June 25, 2011, 4:45pm One of my favorite Decemberists songs is on this album, though, overall, I don't think the album is nearly as good as The Crane Wife. Still, "The Mariner's Revenge Song," "On the Bus Mall," and "The Engine Driver" are some of their best songs. "The Infanta" makes me laugh every time with its puns, as well.

The Iconic Picaresque submitted by timdufresne on July 10, 2018, 4:22pm Lordy, this is it, isn't it? This is kinda *the* Decemberists Album. Tragedy, storytelling, imaginative worlds, a little darkness and implied violence, what more could you ask for from The Decemberists. I feel like The Crane Wife and The King is Dead cohere better as albums, this feels a little looser and less thematically unified. Still, you must check out this album if you are some how on the fence about it. It is essential listening.
