We All Raise Our Voices To The Air
Artist: The Decemberists
Label: EMI
Price: Rs 395
Rating: ****

Ten years as a band. Six studio albums. 20 live tracks. It seems like the right thing to do, considering few musicians now project the kind of longevity that U2 or the Stones have managed. Having said that, tracks off The Decemberists’ last studio album, The King Is Dead, don’t appear to be reworked in any special way for the stage — something that may make casual fans and curious listeners happy, while annoying others who believe live performances ought to take studio versions up a notch.
