Death Cab for Cutie

Ok, now that this is "officially" (read:legally) out, has anyone else heard it? It's my favorite DCFC album... I love all of the songs. On the other CD's there were some choice tracks, but I skipped over a lot. This one has been getting fairly equal treatment in my iTunes... with the only injustice served to "I will follow you into the dark" getting way more plays...

it struck me as a pretty much expected release. It sounds like they've always sounded, with some token "branching out" bits to prove they're growing as a band. It's merely alright. I'm still a sucker for Ben Gibbard's lyrics and melodies.

How long have you had it? It grew on me immensely over the first few days...

But yeah, his lyrics are genius

Heya,

Bought it today. So far, not impressed. The melodies are a lot more forgettable than any of his previous albums. Like the lyrics though, still.

I'm liking it so far! Great lyrics, as usual, but The Photo Album is still my favorite.

I don't like the new one much.

I bought it off Amazon yesterday, so they gave me a free stream of it till the disc gets here. It's....ok. Soul Meets Body, I Will Follow You into the Dark, and Someday You'll Be Loved are the only really good songs I've found so far. But, it did take about 3 weeks for Transatlanticism to grow on me, so I'm hoping this one follows suit.

I'm enjoying it a lot. Maybe not as good as previous work, but still enjoyable and pleasant to listen to.

Haha. I just picked up We Have The Facts, And We're Voting Yes. It's a great album. Ben Gibbard is up there with Conor Oberst as my favorite songwriter.

Than · 09-25-2005, 01:53 PM

Yeah, that and Something About Aeroplanes are their best releases, I think.

Mattlock · 09-27-2005, 07:59 PM

This album is just amazing. Every time I listen to it I love it more. I really reccomend everyone to get it if they don't already have it.

It grew on me fast over the first few days I had it. I listened about 6 times through before I realized that each song is awesome. What Sarah Said and I Will Follow You Into the Dark rank right up there with Transatlanticism and A Lack of Color as them at their best.

I think Matt was talking about We Have the Facts. You know, one of the good Death Cab albums.
