Always defined by their eccentricities, the Decemberists offer a tangled narrative set to thick stoner-metal sludge and prog-folk arpeggios. Nobody got into the Decemberists for the riffs. In other ways, though, the theatrical Portland folk-rockers' noble sojourn into heavy narrative prog-folk was probably always in the stars. Ornately antiquarian diction was their Ziggy Stardust.

Ginormous song suites based on world folklore were their deaf, dumb, and blind kid. Yes, they were meant for The Wall. But it would still work as a rock record, so that's where it ended up. It makes sense that the Decemberists would end up here.

A willingness to make their fans put in some work, whether with fancy language or sprawling song suites, has been part of their steez ever since the baroque reveries of debut Castaways and Cutouts and stagey bookishness of breakthrough Her Majesty -- both of which still kick pantaloon.

After 's The Tain EP flashed the first signs of metalhead envy, Picaresque a year later ended the Decemberists' indie years with their most relatable and poppiest album still my favorite of theirs.

Is it long? At 59 minutes, yes. Does it have three different lead vocalists? Yet they dared to do something wholly unique — create a folk-rock opera about shapeshifters, forest queens, and rapists. I still remember the act of listening to a record; sitting in my room, at my desk under my loft-bed, and doing nothing but listening , because this is an album that truly demands it. I loved the lyrical continuity and the use of heavy-metal leitmotifs to demarcate characters.

If nothing, the album is worthwhile for these alone.
