 Best album I've heard in years May 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This album has made me an enthusiastic new fan of Death Cab for Cutie. I like the mix of ballads and higher-speed tunes (even though I do wish the radio DJs would please stop playing "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" ad nauseum... clearly they failed to learn from "Under the Bridge" in the 90s how overplaying can turn a perfectly good tune into a worn-out, trite cliche that makes you switch the station). The lyrics are excellent and the melodies mesmerizing. Also, I love how there isn't one bad track on the album. This is on CD I continually play through rom start to finish, then start over and play it again.
Takes me on a journey April 26, 2008

This is an excellent album by some very talented musicians. I remember hearing the "Body Meets Soul" on Austin radio in late summer '05. They performed at Austin City Limits Festival that year. I had no idea they have been around since 1998. DCFC write great lyrics. Their music is etheral. "Soul Meets Body" and "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" take me on a journey. Few bands can compare to them. They have a long career ahead of them. If you like Coldplay, Travis or Keane, then this band is for you. I look forward to their new album, Narrow Stairs, in May '08. Buy this album! You will not regret it.

For those who like Postal Service, you will like this CD. Probably becuase it is the same singer. Still, you will like either way. The jewel for me on this CD is "Into The Dark". The opening lyric is "Love of my/Someday you will die..." Sounds kind of dark and sad but it is truly a beautiful song. Makes me cry just listening to it. My husband sung this to me on our wedding day. It was perfect!
A great album that endures February 10, 2008

My kids bought this for me as a Christmas present. Not exactly my kind of music, I thought at the time, but I have really come to love this album. It is a real masterpiece. The music and lyrics are smart, sarcastic and expertly crafted. In the end, you are a little better off for undergoing this thought experiment. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. And I have been listening to it for two years, so far.
Melancholic beauty... November 7, 2007

For the most part this is a really great album - with "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" alone being worth the price of the whole CD. It has to be one of the saddest, most beautiful songs I've heard in many many years. Such feeling, and great melodies in so many of the songs. I love Death Cab, and I've listened this over and over and over... you will too.
