Safer Than Milk,
This review is from: Castaways And Cutouts (Audio CD)
Come on, you can't compare The Decemberists to Neutral Milk Hotel! The Decemberists are far too ORDINARY to sound like Neutral Milk Hotel! I mean, yeah, there are some similarities, but they're all pretty superficial. Really, the arrangements, the production, and the songwriting on this album is a lot more safe than anything you'd find on a Neutral Milk Hotel album. That said, there are some nice moments here. The Instrumentation is lush and at times the melodies are quite pretty. The lyrics make a great deal more sense than Mr. Magnum's lyrics, and I think that's a good thing. Yeah, Neural Milk Hotel's lyrics are unique and they often do seem to fit with the music, but when you get right down to it they're pretty much meaningless. The lyrics on this album depict little vignettes and occasionally fully-realized narratives, it's interesting stuff.

have you ever heard a beutiful old celtic song, where upon listening closely to the lyrics you discover it's about how a bride is killed on her wedding day and her ghost avenges her death... and you think "that's a wierd thing to write a song about..." Well this disc is a lot like that.

The Decemberists at their Best,
This review is from: Castaways And Cutouts (Audio CD)
I love this album. The twists and turns of melody are fantastic. A lot of the album has a sad dreamy feeling about it - like floating around in melancholy. Every song on this album is pretty wonderful and it all flows together quite nicely. Overall, this release is much stronger than their follow up, "Her Majesty", which, although enjoyable, is bogged down by less successful songwriting (a lot of the "hooks" quickly become annoying which is not a problem on this release.) This band shows a lot of promise - I am hoping that maybe they take a little bit more time before their next full length release and come up with something that is on the same level as this wonderful CD.
