Negative Positive
Title: Beautiful.
Review: One of the best albums I've heard in a long time. The Crane Wife is versatile, sometimes upbeat, sometimes depressing, but always deserving of the acclaim that the Decemberists have garnered. "The Island" has beautiful musical transitions between the three parts, and "The Crane Wife 3" is a marvelous opener. Overall, the presentation of this album was wonderful, and perfectly matched (and even pleasantly overwhelmed) my high standards. This album, along with Picaresque and Castaways and Cutouts, is a must.
