I don't really like it, but my boyfriend is hopelessly obsessed. I think it's way too damn long, and I don't really want to listen to an opera if I don't to to see neat costumes, a flashy stage, etc. It just struck me as sort of pointless. I like the Decemberist's silly, happy music better.
My boyfriend is hopelessly obsessed with it too--but at least I like it. I dunno, I had a fun time figuring out the story, and a lot of the characters are really interesting to me. Still, I know I'm in the minority on this one.
I guess really it's because I think in the same mythic lines as Colin Meloy and I love all the Tam Lin parallels.
Hello I am said boyfriend that is obsessed. I LOVE THE ALBUM. When I am not listening to it, I am singing it to myself. Long live Colin Meloy! Long live the Decemberists!
