music note
I purchased the new Decemberists album "The Crane Wife" last week and it is really good. I know that not everyone likes them, so I am not suggesting everyone run out and get this album. But if you have a few extra dollars and want something different, you should give it a listen (actually two or three listens, it gets better the more you listen). To me the album was very diferent from their other releases. It is much more musical. The songs are still very much rooted in the art of telling stories, but it seems they payed more attention to how the music can tell a story. The type of music, which varies greatly on this album, really fits with the type of story that is being told. Many of the songs are more upbeat on this album as well.
Anyway, for what it is worth, I give the album two thumbs up.
