i thought this album was awsome, but then again that's just the kind of music a i like!! death cab 4 cutie rox I still can't figure out if I like it better than The Photo Album. Gets better with each listen. Excellent album. It varies, it's original, makes you go -sigh-, lyrics that make you bite your lip. I have completely fallen in love with this band. You should also check out the Photo Album if you haven't yet. They're just so.. so.. *mwah*. I finally bought this album and it is absolutely incredible. i really hate it when reviewers put in this "insert" crap when doing a review. because a.) it's been done before b.)it is actually just down right annoying and last but certainly not least c.)it is displaying their true lack of wit. knock it off and review the music. lets take ourselves out of the spotlight for a second, and get back to what this site is supposed to be about...not the lack-luster reviewers, but the music that they have the duty and honor to review. cut to the chase and then cut your throat. the first time i heard this album, i absolutely hated it. after giving it a second chance, i have totally fallen in love with this band. everyone should have this cd. This band's name is NOT a Beatles' lyric, as was suggested below. It was a song by the Bonzo Dog Band that appeared in the Beatles film "Yellow Submarine." that guy below me should sell me some peyote, or whatever. i kid. I was listening to this little gem today while I was watering my house plants and It made me think of when I lost my virginity Frosh year to my gym teacher Julio and I just burst out into tears of joy! good review, Ben Gibbard and John K. Samsom need to write some songs together! their name is a beatles lyric, with that in mind, I hate you System.out.println("damn semi-colons!"); package punknews.deathCadForCutie; is this as good as photo album? i love this album. the end. "they ganked some of my best lines" that was more a criticism of punknews than a praising of pitchfork Whoa, guy I wouldn't go so far as to say that Pitchfork doesn't follow trends and that the bands won't be forgotten. I think it's a great site but they're just as much all over the strokes, white stripes, whatever's cool fever as everybody else. Also, they're really not that similar how wonderful. another overly hyperbolic review from punknews.org. WOW! A music site that doesnt follow the stupid middleschool trends and reports about music that wont be forgoten about in two years actual borrowed sometihng you said. OH My ! You should be very proud. Get over yourself JACKASS. As the first person who made the pitchfork comparison, way before pitchfork posted theirs, I would like to say that I am a motherfucking prophet Why are these guys all of sudden getting huge? Havent they been together like ten years? Maybe its because of that stupid Postal Service band. Anyway it all sounds like nursery rhimes to me. er, um, i mean, your review is better Mine was up a day earlier! This just like my review of Weezer's Green Album or something, they ganked some of my best lines and used them in their review. eerie similarities - http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/d/death-cab-for-cutie/tr ansatlanticism.shtml "So I applaud this crappy band for doing something that'll throw their dumbass fans for a loop." Why are people pussies about putting long and/or slow tracks in the middle of the record? If that song winds up at the end of the record, it seems like the band doesn't want to take credit for that song- "Oh, here's something else we wrote, but it doesn't really fit so we'll tack it onto the end." If you're going to write that song that's stylistically different from your other songs, it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't gel with those other songs. So I applaud this crappy band for doing something that'll throw their dumbass fans for a loop. kind of like a rich mans mae. inagreedase: You're correct. I guess I wrote so many I broke my brain. "but if you're writing reviews every single review" death cab is the best band in the world i've never really gotten into death cab. i enjoy the postal service much more. (Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, snake, snake, oooooooh it's a snake) man i love this band. damn good review, not sure if i actually want to check out this band, but the review was damn good. Transatla... whachamacallit? Aside from the last few songs, I wasn't really feeling this album. It sounds too much like the Postal Service. Which is awesome... if you're the Postal Service. gimmicky review. but since i'm horrible at writing music reviews, i can't really speak. i'm looking forward to picking this one up. i may actually be going to see this band tonight. "I hate band with lame (and long) names." Congrats on having such an open mind. (Awesome review, kudos Scott) I don't think there is anything wrong with the concept review. It's hard to do well, but if you're writing reviews every single review, you need to break the monotony once in awhile. I can relate; and my "concept" reviews have been both recieved very well (Hot Water Music) and universally derided (The Killing Tree) Let's please stop the Scott hating, if every review was the same we'd all be bitching too. So shut the fuck up, live and let live. Great cd, definite top 10. And next time you feel like being an asshole, get out of your parent's house and go kick your dog. Good review, sounds like a great album. Can't wait to pick it up this afternoon. This is the exact same review that somebody wrote for an Honor System album. (insert dick into mouth) Way to be an ass Scott. You tried to be original and cool, but now everyone hates you. Now what are you gonna do? Huh? in all seriousness though, that was one of the worst "I'm so witty and original" reviews i have read...Points go to the band though, not the pullitzer prized reviewer.. (snoogins) this is #3 on my list of albums of the year (after the weakerthans and Belle and Sebastian). Fucking fantastic. This is their best release since We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes. I haven't listened to this yet, but I am gonna pick this up tomorrow. Dammit, this isn't pitchfork scott, concept reviews are for bitches and hoes Dammit! It was this weekend!! Argggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Oh well, I'll listen to them anyway. Death Cab and The Weakerthans need to tour together! Ok, seriously "(insert dick into mouth)" made me laugh out loud. Well, Scott, you have convinced me to see this band when they play here in a few days. Are they any good live? yeah..forgot to sign in...and i want my name attached to comment for the greatness of this cd review......KICKS ARSE..pick it up! yeah...this cd flatout kicks arse...pick this gem up.... good review. good band. good times. This is deadly a must have |
