Billboard 200 - #35, 2006
"Four Stars ... the world faces no shortage of hyperliterate American songwriters fashioning their book learnin' into ambitious, whimsical folk-pop, but few can spin a yarn or hone a melody as persuasively as the Decemberists' Colin Meloy. The Crane Wife is his grandest enterprise yet ... bold and wondrous entertainment ..."
- The Guardian
"... refuses to relinquish the quirks of their three justly praised indie LPs. Songwriter Colin Meloy specializes in lurid historical dramas; here he bookends short scenes in that vein with two longer tales and leads the folk-oriented band on successful excursions into styles including keyboard-based prog ... several of these studies in heartbreak and homicide rank among his most moving. B+."
- Entertainment Weekly
"... as long as Colin Meloy continues to wield the best vocabulary in pop music, the Decemberists have a lock on being one of the most literary contemporary bands on the scene ... (proves) that Meloy and company not only can maintain their hyperliterate and grounded-in-the-past sensibilities, but they can build on them with new sonic palettes, rather than retreading their past retro sounds. The Decemberists may not be the only band capable of making folk-rock magic from a retelling of a Japanese folk tale, but they’re one of the few who can do so compellingly and with the graceful lyricism of master storytellers plying their craft."
- PopMatters.com
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Decemberists' 2006 landmark release The Crane Wife, this triple album set includes the remastered original tracks plus alternate versions, B-sides, solo acoustic demos and outtakes.
"While we’re not the sort of folk to make a ton of ballyhoo about every record’s birthday, it seemed fitting that this one should receive some sort of celebration. It was our first record for a major label, after all ... it was our first record with a lineup that would remain constant for the next decade and our first record to actually get a teensy bit of commercial airplay. We take what we can get."
