The Decemberists - Her Majesty The Decemberists

OCTOBER 7, 2003

This is nearly a breath taking album. I mean that literally. There have been a number of times when I was listening and I nearly stopped breathing because I was so engrossed in the music. After one listen it was clear this album would be somewhere in my top five records of the year.

Her Majesty is an incredibly lush album with a distinctive sound. I compared it to a combination of the Shins and New Pornographers, but others have likened them to Neutral Milk Hotel. No matter who you choose, those are all some pretty sweet bands.

I recommend you check out either "Billy Liar" or "Los Angeles, I'm Yours." if you're going to download anything.

This is the end of my truly mini review.
