The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love



Genre: Indie rock, Folk rock
Released: March 24, 2009

The Hazards Of Love is the fifth album from indie rockers The Decemberists. The Hazards Of Love is a rock opera, with all songs contributing to a unified narrative, similar to the use of recurring stories in The Crane Wife(previous album). The album is amazingly written both musically and lyrically. The Hazards Of Love plot is a love story: a woman named Margaret falls in love with a shape-shifting Boreal forest dweller named William. A jealous forest queen, the villainous Rake and an ensemble of recurring characters bring conflict to the album's story arc. My favorite aspect of the album was that you get singers playing characters throughout the album and get to hear three different singers throughout the album.
