"The King Is Dead" signs the return of the crew of "Carbonari" of Portland, led by Colin Meloy. After the interesting and compelling exploration lands in the sound of progressive / experimental rock, very "Inglese style", with the previous "The Hazards of Love" (2009), the The Decemberists, become again carried by the atavistic impulses of the rain forests of the Northwest U.S. ( www2.troublezine.it/reviews/15523/the-decemberists-the-king-is-dead ) . "The King Is Dead" will probably leave you puzzled a big chunk of the fans of the first hour, as it is physiological that happens in the artistic career of a band quite influential. We are not in the presence of a disk sensational, but after the excesses of the previous chapter there is music rather than to remain optimistic. The King is dead, and even we realized! ( www.indieforbunnies.com/2011/01/10/the-decemberists-the-king-is-dead/ ) . the courage (or was it recklessness?) Does not always pay. And so, in 2009, an ambitious concept album "The Hazards of Love" has grossed far more critical (even ferocious and undeserved) praise it. Colin Meloy, the bespectacled nerd the long view has always been holding the helm of the Decemberists, the best retro-progressives of America in recent years, had become accustomed to the pampering of journalists and have been maintained very poorly. The fact is that he promptly reverse gear meshed and the yin to that album, "prog-folk-metal" da lui stesso definito un “musical mancato”, risponde oggi con lo yang di “The King Is Dead”, titolo in un certo qual modo evocativo (nel 1986 gli Smiths pubblicavano “The Queen Is Dead”, ricordate?) per una collezione di canzoni semplici, lineari e cristalline come non mai. 10 canzoni (niente suite, nessuna fiaba allegorica o astruso sottotesto, stavolta!), poco più di 40 minuti di musica. Al primo impatto si arriva già al cuore del disco, perché “The King Is Dead” ha il pregio dell’immediatezza e della comunicativa: i cinque giovanotti dell’Oregon, barbe occhiali e aria rustica da contadini del rock, sono tornati scientemente alle loro radici college, a quel American indie sound firmly planted in the early '80s by 10,000 Maniacs and REM And the fact that there will be three titles in the Rickenbacker of Peter Buck in person makes their connection more explicit and authentic: too well, although the jingle jangle guitar and the drums of "Calamity song" (someone else has already pointed out, but you can only subscribe to) are immediately reminded of an outtake or a ghost track from "Murmur" or "Reckoning" nearly 30 years later. Buck is felt, and how, even in “Down by the water”, e sono di nuovo sapori forti di R.E.M. con l’umore giusto per spopolare nelle college radio dentro e fuori il Web; l’ombra di Neil Young si allunga invece sulla suggestiva “Dear Avery” (strofa malinconica, inciso solare e arioso), mentre il sapore un po’ western di “This is why we fight”, l’episodio più rock, aggressivo ed elettrico della raccolta, piacerebbe sicuramente anche all’ultimo Billy Bragg. And what about "Rise to me"? Probably the best collection, with that sweet and fragrant mix of pedal steel, six-string acoustic and harmonica that unmistakable signature sound of this album. A hard crisp and pleasant, certainly less adventurous and challenging of the above. The final focus, the test of maturity after five discs varied and vibrant inspiration? Well, the Decemberists are a band lively and intelligent, curious and self-deprecating. Capable, like few others today, to surprise, to overturn the odds and reshuffle the cards. Bet that next time will change direction again? ( www.rockol.it/recensione-4486/Decemberists-THE-KING-IS-DEAD ) .
