Picaresque»rank: 7438par: Decemberists
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Picaresque is yet more proof that the Decemberists' Colin Meloy is the songwriter who loves love—especially when it ends in death, ('We Both Go Down Together,' '0f Angels and Angles'), disease ('The Mariner's Revenge Song') or in some other tragic way. This CD spends some time in the band's familiar old Europe setting, although Meloy also touches on politics, espionage, and even soccer. (Proving he knows his fan base, Meloy's 'The Sporting Life,' is the perfect shout-out to the kids who preferred the library to the gym.) Long-time fans ... |

Her Majesty The Decemberists»rank: 10792par: The Decemberists
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Failing students have had such an influential role in shaping rock & roll that it's easy to give the bookworm segment short shrift. Witness the vital contributions from the likes of Ray Davies, the Zombies, and Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Magnum--the kind of smartypants songwriters with whom the Decemberists' Colin Meloy is often compared.

Crane Wife»rank: 1497par: Decemberists
Chroniques et points de vue: :Capitol raised a few eyebrows when they signed indie stalwarts the Decemberists. There's nothing blatantly commercial about the Portland quintet, from Colin Meloy's quavery voice and hyper-literate lyrics to the band's wide-ranging music, which encompasses baroque pop, prog rock, and dozens of other styles. Then again, he did once sing, 'l was made for the stage,' and those who've seen the group live know this to be true. Sure, they're storytellers, but they're entertainers, too--just not in the Top 40 sense. Never ones to play it safe, their major label ... |
