Wow

I saw the end of their set on some late night talk show a few weeks ago. Since then I have become a big fan with each album in rotation on my device.

Mixing some powerful and dramatic lyrics with Pink Floydish experimentation The Decemberists pull off what others cannot: rock opera.

The Decemberists carry Queen's torch proudly. But to compare them to Queen does both bands a dis-service. While the Decemberists seek the same level of dramatic story telling that Queen does, the Decemberists sound is much more alt-rock oriented than Queen.

Agree that Belle & Sebastian is a related artists. Other suggestions are probably tenuous.

Great album! I anticipated it for so long that when it was released I was taken unawares. Its a great departure musically for them without being too different. Highly recommended to fans and people who like their rock to be more than just three chords and an attitude.
