Very unique band

This band is unique. This isn't music I would blast in my car because most people would think I'm gay, but I enjoy it a lot. It's a guilty pleasure. This band is talented and this is a great album.

No Plans, but great nonetheless.

It would be very difficult for DCFC to match the greatness of Plans but this new release does not disappoint. I think my favorite track is Your New Twin Sized Bed. It's so sad and beautiful but then again, so are most of these tracks.

Please see these tunes live...

I think most bands have a hard time following up an album like Plans, especially when the follow-up is a little different in tone and style. When I first got this album, I was expecting something like Plans, even though Gibbard repeatedly said it was more a return to their earlier work. I was disappointed. Then, I saw Death Cab on their current tour, and was reminded of why I love the band in the first place. Now I can appreciate this album for what it is--not a clone of their last album, but a true, old school Death Cab record. If you appreciate Death Cab's past and present, you won't go wrong with this album.

a breath of fresh air!!!

I'm not a huge fan of Deathcab but got somewhat hooked on their single "soul meets body" which is a great song hardcore fan or not. I was disappointed listening to "Plans" to find out nothing on the rest of that album was as good as that single or remotely as upbeat. I just thought that it was decidely too melancholy for me. So it came as a sort a shock when i heard the opening songs "Bixby Canyon" and "I will posess your heart". "I will posess your heart" has no lyrics except a couple of lines that the singer repeats like a mantra and it's indulgently long for todays standards. It doesn't matter though because the magic is obvious. The first half of the album is flawless but the rest of the songs almost sound like b-sides in comparison to how good the rest of the album is. Even though i don't think it's consistently good from begining to end that first half is better than alot of whole albums this year!!!!
