All of the songs on The Hazards of Love contribute to a unified narrative. The story centers around a woman named Margaret, who falls in love with a forest dweller named William. Their union is not approved of by the forest queen (who is also&nbsp;William's mother). Aided by the villian Rake the queen seeks to destroy their love, adding conflict to the narrative. The album could be thought of as a single continuous song, though their are seventeen individual track IDs.</p><div style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</div> Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:42:40 -0500 http://www.productwiki.com/the-decemberists-the-hazards-of-love/ http://www.productwiki.com/the-crane-wife/ <img src="http://images.productwiki.com/upload/images/the_crane_wife-60-60.jpg" border=0 style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"/>Inspired by a Japanese folk tale, <em>The Crane Wife</em> is the Decemberist's first release after signing with Capitol records. Released in October 2006, almost half of this 60 minute album is dedicated to two songs (in several parts): &quot;The Island&quot;, and &quot;The Crane Wife&quot;. Considered to be a slight departure from the typical Decemberist sound, the album may be their most ambitious so far. <p style="color: rgb(136, 136, 136);">Added from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crane-Wife-Decemberists/dp/B000HKDEEW" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.amazon.com</a></p><div style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</div> Sun, 15 Oct 2006 13:09:35 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/the-crane-wife/ http://www.productwiki.com/picaresque/ <img src="http://images.productwiki.com/upload/images/picaresque-60-60.jpg" border=0 style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"/>Angular, sharp vocals backed by music likely heard on a pirate ship of the future.
