WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Decemberists???

Posted over 3 years ago
I just don't get it. Why is Colin Meloy the indie "golden boy" right now? His music is hokey, and not in a cool post modern way. Looking for someone to help me get it. Haven't given up yet, but almost there.

  1. that1guy says All I can tell you is that Decemberists pre Crane Wife brought me back to a place that never exsisted. I'm not their biggest fan, but the songs I do like, I like a lot. Just watch and listen.

  3. ConQueso says No se...but with all music, it's personal preference...and i happen to like the Decemberists. Can't really tell you why.

  4. Peggah says I actually think the music is good. The lyrics are good (if he reworked them, they'd be good poems). His voice on the other hand... meh. I'm not a big fan of his voice, but I really like everything else.

  5. lemontwist says I don't either. They wrote 16 Military Wives which I think is a great song, so I checked out their other stuff and it was so slow and boring that I couldn't get into it. I haven't listened to anything other than the album that 16 Military Wives is on, but I don't exactly hold out much hope for their other albums. It's just not my thing.
