The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
Reviewed by margaret
Wow, a new disc from Emerson, Lake and Palmer was unexpected. Oh wait. It’s The Decemberists. Easy mistake to make when throwing on their latest disc The Crane Wife. Wait, upon further review, it’s actually Placebo does ELP…with a tad of Waterboys thrown in for good measure...good if you like that sort of thing. While subtle beats and delicate, elaborate arrangements make the album moderately interesting from time to time, I have little use but for maybe two out of ten official tracks. This is not a good ratio. Been there, done that. [www.decemberists.com]
