Welcome everyone, to this weeks Album of the Week, here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. As many of you already know, every Saturday, I write a post that showcases one of my favorite albums. So, without further ado, I present to you ... the very prestigious Album of the Week.
This weeks Album of the Week ; Picaresque - The Decemberists
Upon discovering this album, many years ago, I did not listen to good music. Well, to be fair, I listened to my share of good music, but my musical archive was still littered with artists such as Eminem; 50 Cent; Good Charlotte...well, you get the point. This album was a major turning point for me. I had already gotten into classic rock rather heavy, but this album started to slowly morph my tastes in music. I can clearly remember riding in the car with my father, repeating the track "The Mariner's Revenge Song", which he thought was the weirdest thing he'd ever heard (He would periodically get annoyed and hit the button for the oldies station).
So, I think it's obvious that this record has definitely made quite an impact on me, which warrants the title Album of the Week. So now, I'd like to share a couple tracks from the album. From the dramatic drum roll of The Infanta, to the mournful, brilliantly written Eli, The Barrow Boy and finally the flair and grandeur of The Mariner's Revenge Song. Enjoy.
