Hit: 4 Stars
This is a brilliant piece of work, a run-up to the greatness that is "Picaresque," and some of the Decemberists' best work so far.
But if you want a really interesting listening session, put on "The Tain" and then follow it up immediately with "Pictures of a City" by King Crimson off their neglected album, "In the Wake of Poseidon."
Interesting, no? I wonder what else Colin has been listening to besides Black Sabbath?
Regardless, "The Tain" is more proof that the Decemberists are rapidly becoming one of the more impressive bands around. They are not locked into anyone's formula and don't follow anyone's rules but their own. In an era where so many bands follow lockstep with one another ("Coldplay, meet Starsailor, I saw you both going through Radiohead's Pink Floyd rarities collection!") and so many others go whoring after money and popularity, the Decemberists' singular disregard for anything except their own artistic vision is beyond refreshing.
