Most underrated Decemberists album.
Your soundoff was too short, it has to be at least 50 characters

Despite the standards set by the debut album, I was not impressed by this sophomore effort. The style remains the same, Meloy's poetry continues to be sweet and sympathetic (albeit more melancholic) but there is the sense that the band can achieve greater results. Recommendations: "The Chimbley Sweep", "The Bachelor and the Bride", "The Gymnast".

Though not devoid of highlights ("I Was Meant For The Stage", "Los Angeles, I'm Yours"), this is the worst Decemberists album by quite a noticable distance. Effectively this is little more than a dry run for Picaresque - plenty of the songs here can be matched up with later, superior counterparts. And nothing here equals earlier gems like "Leslie Ann Levine" or "Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect", either. Worth hearing for the Decemberists fan, since it's hardly a radical departure from their established style - in fact, it's just more of the same except worse. But nobody should be seeking this out when they haven't already got both Picaresque and Castaways & Cutouts.
