Negative Positive
Title: Good intro
Review: I had only ever heard one Decemberists song before (July, July!), and was convinced I needed to buy a CD. It was tough choosing between Castaways, Her Majesty, and Picaresque (this was pre-Crane Wife) so I had to know where the Decemberists were at that time. I found them in fine form. Catchy, long, musically interesting songs.A person can listen to these songs over and over due to their complexity or their strong pop sensibilities.Meloy's creative writing background is apparent and the milieu he creates is decidedly not set today.Overall, the album is musically and lyrically intriguing.
Is the review positive or negative?
