    Meloy still needs to diversify his sound here, but it's coming along. Her Majesty is not the treasure trove of songs that their next two albums would be. Best songs: The Soldiering Life and The Chimbley Sweep.

    Colin Meloy's songwriting makes them one of the strongest bands working today.

    The band's newfound willingness to experiment leads to overkill.
