You either like or loathe The Decemberists. That’s probably even more true after they released their rock opera.
Me, I like them even more. Where else can you hear a pop song about infanticide? And, oh jesus, this song is amazing live.
Yep, ’tis good.
The Rake’s Song — The Decemberists
oh shit yeah. i saw them at bonnaroo for the first time after being a fan for years and it was unfuckingreal. they played hazards of love in its entirety, then finished up with a smaller set of some hits. it was so good that my boy and i traveled from dallas to houston to see them a second time. hazards of love is definitely in my top 10 favorite albums ever. it might even be in the top 5. or 3. who can say.
