Always a fan favorite, the Decemberists re-enter our lives with a very strong concept album. Similar to the Who's Tommy in that it works as an album but there's really only one tailor-made radio hit ("Pinball Wizard" meet "The Rake's Song").
From Wikipedia:
The Hazards of Love centers around a love story: a woman named Margaret falls in love with a shape-shifting forest dweller. A jealous forest queen and an ensemble of recurring characters bring conflict to the album's story arc.
Must hear: The Rake's Song
