The Decemberists did it. They did what a fan of theirs wanted them to do. Too many times, I have wished a band would do what they do best, instead of some experimental, lesser than album. The King Is Dead may not only be the way I wanted to hear them, but it is by far the best I have ever heard them. I was a fan on the outs, as you may have previously read, but The King Is Dead, is one of my favorite albums in the past few months. If it fell in 2010, it would have made my top ten. 2011 has yet to unfold, but this early album may have enough to hold strong for the year and make the top of the list. We will wait and see. For now, listen to the album performed live or watch the live concert here
