Personally, I didn't like <I>Picaresque</I>, so I was writing why, in my opinion, I feel the <I>Crane Wife</I> is the superior album.

However I find it odd that you that you asume that just because someone likes that album they won't like Crane Wife. They are different albums but I like them both very much and really can't decide which one is better at times. I defintely disagree with you on Picaresque because I love that album.

I can totally see what you are saying about these two albums. Unfortunatly, I expect that as the music market moves away from the purchase of albums and more toward the purchase of single tracks, it will be increasingly rare that artists make CDs like The Crane Wife, Sargeant Pepper, or Desperado. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the Decemberists, I like the idea and find it much more engaging than a series of unrelated songs!

Their second album, "Her Majesty" is probably my favorite, but I know a lot of people who prefer "Castaways & Cutouts." Whew, I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think Talking Heads. I kind of hate comparing bands, and partly because I'm not very good at it, hah. Oh yes, Portland has big hometown pride for these boys & girls.

I listened to a few of their songs and wasn't too impressed, but some of the selections here are pretty good. When you said: "The Perfect Crime No.2″ (The Talking Heads probably isn’t the best example, but they’re the band that comes to mind.)" you were spot on. Before I read your post I listened to the songs and from the opening, I thought of the Talking Heads as well.
