After playing them both back to back, I am starting to like The Crane Wife more than Picaresque, both very good albums though.

i agree that the Crane Wife has got some major aspects that tend to be better than the Picaresque. i also agree that they are both good albums.

i'd have to say my favorite is Her Majesty, but all around, I've enjoyed this band for the past 6 or so years, and I think they're incredibly talented.

Glad to see a thread about The Decemberists. Only a few weeks ago I changed my all time list of favourite albums. The Decemberists' "The Crane Wife" entered my top 10 and is now listed as my 10th favourite album.

By the way their song "Sons and Daughters" is so ****ing awesome, I sometimes play it 5 times in a row.

Here is a link:
