The Decemberists - The King Is Dead (Review)

The Decemberists, these folk band, the prog-and blues-rock in this genre more and more have eingeworren, so 12-minute not even out of place have worked to make a country album that you hate not with so many ancient and beautiful melodies and harmonies can. The problem is: you want it.

might want to hate them, but that they are - all stereotypes - are included on a farm and for the whole harmonica and fiddle-action maybe, somehow, perhaps even for the production, everything rueberbringt so crystal clear or sure that they Forgot sheer authenticity of Search The year in which we find ourselves. But probably for the fact that they overdo it and lose everything so they exactly compulsively sought authenticity. If you see Staring in fact the album as a whole, stands out above all that they do not stop playing with the Fiedelei and the harmonica. And what Texan country band full of 50-year old trucker, people will get bored really, no, even want to talk to. What saves her is that some songs are not bad if one takes them out of the overall work.

The opener "Do not Carry It All" has cool handles, after the introduction of all the characteristics of the plate there is a small break and the bass is at full strength Making it to the upbeat song really euphoric. There are even songs on this record where you can hold the instrumentation. The next of these type of songs is "Down By The Water", where the accordion now and then creates a surface that had come up with other albums by a synth. This is sometimes quite diverse. "All Arise" has more of what Wilco as the other songs, even if Wilco always cooler than the Decemberists, just not as as they had before the invention of the "old." Started before the country. The last of the quartet, this song is "This Is Why We Fight," a dark, war-driven song, which soars in the chorus to the hymn and easy the Western atmosphere created that they can bring in would have more often. The final part, a field recording situations including rain and guitar makes the song then the only song on the album that can really convince completely.

The other songs are just mediocre, compared to the right country bands sometimes even bad. Not even irrelevant, you can call them, because, for the way they are because of this subtle Hoeren Irritation again not suitable. Sometimes you just have to understand that it is possible to add anything of their own country folk, too bad is, but this album, they can thus be repeated under any circumstances, even the texts that do not express Meloy ability to empathize with other figures, you should do for the next album more exciting. Luckily, it is clear that they can better and more exciting, and not stand still. As one can trust the Decemberists.
