Your thoughts on this band? and what's your favourite album?

Discuss.

Transatlanticism is probably my favourite, the album is really unique to me and every song on that album is brilliant.

We have the facts and we're voting yes is a close runner-up.

i guess they're ok, and don't have a favourite album really. my fav is probably the john byrd EP because that's the cd that made me listen to them.

I was listening to Transatlanticism today, and i really enjoyed it. So, i think i'll choose that one. Also, because i haven't heard the others. Haha.

The Photo Album.

Plans is really bad.

you can play these songs with chords. you forgot.

Quote from: "no name cola"The Photo Album.

Plans is really bad.

really? I was pleasently surprised, i think it's me 3rd fav record by death cab.

Why dont you like it?

Quote from: "black coffee"you can play these songs with chords. you forgot.

Well, if I forgot that one I also forgot Stability EP and Forbidden Love EP, so...

song for song i like The Forbidden Love EP best

I grew out of them.

transantlanticism is one of the best albums ever made. the others are good/OK, but trans is amazing.

i guess "you can play these..." is little bit more essential than some EP, but ok you know your shit dude...

since the old albums were re-released on august 8th, this album deserves to be mentioned. i will edit your 1st post.

i've only got transatlanticism, but i like it lots.

okay, fair enough. I tried to edit it, but i guess you cant edit polls when someone has voted.

Am I the only one who thinks We Have The Answers and We're Voting Yes is the best? God, this poll sucks.

Quote from: "ChickdelaLynch"Am I the only one who thinks We Have The Answers and We're Voting Yes is the best? God, this poll sucks.

It's facts, and as i said, that album is definitely a 2nd runner up. I love it.

The lyrics and musicianship on Trans are far superior than on Facts. Imho.

I just read that they are going to make a music video to each song on "plans".

Which, might i add, isn't very good.

Of course not, since that album is zzzz

Yeah, i heard that. I think it's quite interesting and im looking forward to it.

I'm the other way around. I find Facts to be more personal, I guess you could say. It's not the word I'm looking for, but I feel more on Facts than Transatlanticism.

hehe, to each his own, i guess ;)

i cant get into them

Man! I just started listening to this band and what do I see, a thread about them! [alright!]

I was introduced to Plans so right now I'm in favor of this album. Translatism is my second so far. I haven't had the time to really listen carefully to the other albums.

I gotta say I'm glad to hear some good music, as I don't really listen to a lot of stuffs.

Good to hear man.

I own Transatlanticism, one of my faves..a truely amazing album. An album that I can actually listen all the way through and not get tired of it.  8)

My friend finally made me understand why I liked Transatlanticism so much out of all of the other albums. Ready?

Every other Deathcab album is pure shit.

your pure shit
hows that rub you

Plans owns them all!

yes, I'm the one who voted Plans.

Transatlanticism is probably their best, but it's hard to pick a favorite.

but while we are discussing DCFC...

They aren't emo! I can't believe people refer to them as emo, that's a term that has gone way out of context.

I just got The Photo Album, and i agree with No Name that it's better than Transatlanticism. Atleast that's my opinion.

yeh, that is their best. and i dont think theyll top it.

Quote from: "no name cola"yeh, that is their best. and i dont think theyll top it.

Yea I don't think the concept of being good is in their future when they presently suck ass.

DIRECTIONS

11 songs, 11 directors, 11 videos.

YES!

http://www.deathcabforcutie.com/directions/

Enjoy.

<3

They should re-release it as a CD/DVD

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

yo aswe, you got that song that comes out in the m&m commercials?

Quote from: lithium royaltyyo aswe, you got that song that comes out in the m&m commercials?

havent seen that commercial.

I live in Denmark, heh.

Quote from: lithium royaltyyo aswe, you got that song that comes out in the m&m commercials?

It's "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service, but I think it's a cover version cause it doesn't sound like Ben to me.

It is. It's by Iron and Wine. It's on the Garden State soundtrack.

holy god. ive put away the postal service album, ive been telling myself i dont like it, and havent put it in the cd player in months


im on the first song and i already love it again. this album is amazing

Marching Bands in Manhattan is such great song!! My favorite. But the video is meh..

thanks you all.

second video still sucks for DIRECTIONS.

Gnarrr! I missed the video to 'summer skin'!
When I saw the first one I was like "wtf..?" and then I heard the song on my way to work and had to think of the video. The effect it had on me afterwards was really amazing..
The second video was just unimportant and this one (different names for the same thing) is really cute. You can never go wrong with kids! <3

The guys were awesome on monday! We looked like giants almost made my heart burst..

that love is watching.. someone die!


So who's gonna watch you die? ...

beautiful song. amazing band.

Their last album was such a disappointment.  But I enjoy their previous works.

I really, really love Plans.
The lyrics are the most amazing part about it.

Seriously, Ben Gibbard is a genious.

There's not one single song on that album I dont like.

It's actually my 2nd favorite album of theirs (Transatlanticism being nr 1)

For me, they are a band who just keeps getting better and better with each album.

my ratings for the albums would probably look something like this;

1. Transatlanticism
2. Plans
3. The Photoalbum
4. We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes
5. Forbidden Love EP
6. Something About Airplanes

Yeh, I agree, the lyrics are mindblowing, especially on plans.. some of these that touch you every time again.. (Pst, Theis, did you notice I put the video in my post?.. I hope you watched it!)

The above mentioned was one of my favs + soul meets body (sooo genius, soul meets body.. phew) and:

Sorro drips into your heart.. through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks
and there is comfort in the sound!
But while you debate 'half empty or half full?'..
..it slowly rises.. your love is gonna drown!

and

And all you see is where else you could be.. when you're at home
and out on the streets.. are so many possibilities.. to not be alone!


Woowowowoooooooo

I only like "the New Year" but if theres any more songs like that or ones that arent as upbeat Id like them

at was introduced to DCFC with Plans. therefore, I believe that Plans is the best album!! There are some interesting stuff in the previous works but nothing that compares to Plans...

Am I wrong by saying there are two kinds of DCFC fans : those who came before and those who came after Plans??

If I had to make my top 5, it'll go like this:

1. Plans
2. Transantlantism
3. We have the facts and we're voting yes
4. Photo Album
5. Something about airplanes



The new "I'll Follow You Into The Dark" video is absolutly fantastic.

I didn't like Plans much at all when it first came out, but it's definitely grown on me. I think it's a pretty good album now, just not groundbreaking to me like transatlanticism was.

I'd say

1.The Photo Album
2. We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes
3.Transwhatever
4. All of those awesome eps.

after that, it's just ehhhh

yeah.
The Photo Album is most definately the best. i havent really listened to Plans.

DCFC are playing this little indoorsfestival tommorrow with Hot Chip, Jenny Lewis and Love Is All. I'm probably going, even though the tickets are like 55 dollars, but what the hell.

Death Cab for Cutie might be the worst live band ever. It's not that they suck, but their music doesn't qualify for live play at all.

http://www.nme.com/news/death-cab-for-cutie/30985

new album set to be released spring 2008.

that's great news.

Guitarist discusses 'bloody and loose' follow-up to group's 2005 album.

It might be difficult to remember — what with all the international intrigue surrounding his hard drive — but there was a time, not so long ago, when Chris Walla was better known as the guitarist/producer for Death Cab for Cutie and not "the vaguely political guy in the beanie who took on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security."

And, not surprisingly, Walla would like things to go back to the way they used to be. So even though his (now) much-discussed solo album, Field Manual, hits stores in January, he's already hard at work on Death Cab's next album, the follow-up to their commercial smash, Plans, which has sold more than 920,000 copies (!) since being released in 2005 (see "Death Cab Blasé Over Big Chart Debut; Say Next LP Will Be 'Complicated' ").

"We have six songs in the can already. Not mixed, but basically done. And beyond all logic — and against everything I told myself after making Plans — I'm producing it," Walla laughed. "We're actually doing it at [DCFC drummer] Jason [McGerr's] studio. He built a place in Seattle called Two Sticks. It's a really cool studio, with this clubhouse vibe. We have a couple of those little handheld Nintendos in there."

Walla said the early vibe of the record is "bloody and loose," a reflection of where they chose to do the record and a reaction to the problems they — and many of Death Cab's fans — had with the shinier, more nuanced sound of Plans.

"So far, it's a crazy, weird, heavy-rock record. It's all on tape too. It's not going to leave the tape machine, which is pretty exciting in 2007. It's so much fun. The six songs we have now are just killing me," he said. "With the last album, there were a bit of nerves when we signed, and as a producer, I sort of felt [like,] 'Oh sh--, this is my first major-label record. I better do something sort of hi-fi and semi-industry-standard.' And I'm really proud of that record, but it was too studied and too concentrated in a few spots. And with this one, it's all bloody tape style. It's all-or-nothing."

Though he wouldn't go into detail about the songs the band has already completed, Walla did mention an epic, 10-minute jam that calls to mind the work of German kraut-rockers/ anarchists Can and was recorded live to tape. And he doesn't see things changing at all as Death Cab progress with the album.

"The experience I had working on [the Decemberists'] The Crane Wife — that was a record that didn't leave the tape machine, and I had forgotten how fun it is working with tape. You can't skip around. And when you get a song, it's a performance from a group of people. It's a complete thought, rather than little bits of a sentence you cut and arranged and made into a paragraph," he said. "And in a world where nothing's linear anymore, it's really nice to be able to commit to a performance. Like, the Can jam, it's live bass, guitars, drums, vocals — it all went down together. And I don't think that's going to change. I'm going to deliver tapes to Atlantic [Records], and see if they know what to do with those."

Death Cab plan to keep hammering away at the yet-untitled album until January (or until Atlantic fires up the helicopter and hightails it out to Seattle to put a stop to all the lo-fi madness), by which time Walla estimates there will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 songs to whittle down to a final track list.

Then again, who knows? The whole plan might change ... after all, if Walla has learned one thing in the past week, it's that, truly, anything can happen at any time.

"The tape stuff is great, though I don't know. I often long for the '70s. Because I know that when something was 'pro' in 1978, it was f---ing pro. And, like, my band, we're still duct-taping microphones to chairs and stuff, and we sold, like, a million records," he laughed. "I mean, I guess if we wanted it, we could be recording at some big studio like Sunset Sound or in the Bahamas someplace. There are always problems. Every record is a journey. Or whatever."

sounds great...i'm really, really, REALLY looking forward to this.

Yes, it must be nice release
DCFC is the greatest pop band ever ;P

eh, i wouldn't call them pop.

just great rock music.

i hope they break out the casio keyboard!

new album sneak peek!
http://www.deathcabforcutie.com/splash/

Official title for upcoming album:

Narrow Stairs.

i read in a recent interview (cant remember where) that the new album is going to be a really low-fi affair. mics taped to chairs and shit :)

the first review of NARROW STAIRS:

"After hearing Narrow Stairs earlier this week, it turns out that everything I had known about Death Cab was wrong. They are actually a really great band, and Stairs is unquestionably the best thing they've ever done. It's a ballsy, brave effort, sonically every bit as dissonant and sanguine as you have heard, full of songs that thrash and rattle and bounce around echo chambers, tunes that display muscle and bravado and even brains. Lyrically, Ben Gibbard — who had always erred on the literal side a bit too much for my tastes — goes to places he's never visited before, documenting the harrowing (and often unspoken) truths that course through our brains when we're trapped in dying relationships or dead-end lives. It's terrifying and unsettling and liberating all at once — a record that sounds like a band throwing caution to the wind and just going for it, which makes it everything you could possibly ask for from a group of musicians, and an early contender for the best album of 2008."

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1582775/20080304/death_cab_for_cutie.jhtml

fuuuck i'm excited!

this baby should leak anytime soon. you're on this like a hog, right Zevaka?

Am I wrong by saying there are two kinds of DCFC fans : those who came before and those who came after Plans??

Same here auctully, i listened to a few songs on Plans and got hooked on them, it was dark and soothing and thats what i really loved about Plans. It just blows my mind that some people do not agree with me, that Plans is one of Death Cabs best albums and it wasen't their best effort. I hope Narrow Stairs has some songs that are influenced by Plans.

It's also weird though, that you noticed that, because i was thinking the same exact thing when most people said they loved Transatlanticism.

If i had to rank top albums i would rank it as.
1. Plans
2. Transatlanticism
3. The Photo album
4. We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes


If anyone has not seen Death Cabs music video for I Will Possess Your Heart here it is.

There are two different Versions of the song "I Will Possess Your Heart. Which people do not realize theres an 8minute version and a reguler 4:03 version of the song. Because there was an official edited version of the song, that stripped down the minutes and made it shorter.
Short Version(4:03)

Long Version(8:31)

thoughts on the new album?

personally, i'm pleasently surprised. i mean, i enjoyed "plans", but this album blows it out of the water.

it's no "transatlanticism", but i'm sure "narrow stairs" could be rated highly after a few more listens.

Cath is such a beautiful fucking song.

it's funny, i can't really listen to death cab anymore...

someone post a hq discography please?

thanks, and why cant you listen to them anymore?

i remember listening to the postal service back in like 2001 2002.. never payed much attention tho

i dunno really. it's not that i hate them...i just find their music a little boring nowadays. 'transatlanticism' is still a fine album though.
