I agree. "Plans" was the first DCFC album that I bought, and I worked my way backward through their catalog. Their newer stuff (Transatlanticism, Plans) is more concrete, with more solid songwriting. I do like their older stuff, but the newer is much more listenable, IMO.
I bought Plans and Transatlanticism first and have worked backwards too. There's a lot of great stuff on the earlier CD's, but those two are much more consistent.
Definitely check out PLANS. Great CD.
sounds like Suzanne Vega could have written this mess

I know what you mean. I think their "uniqueness" is in the quality of Benjamin Gibbard's (the lead singer's) vocals. But I bought and do like their current album, Plans. I think they've matured and gotten more interesting

I'm lovin this because I can listen to RP and my daughters as well, and in a rare accomplishment we all pretty much agree that we won't channel-hop -- mainly becasue we never know what's next. And that is how it should be! We're all exposed to some really great music. Thanmk again, and again, and again...
"Intentional mess" is he talking about my code!?
Hey, this older stuff by them ain't half bad!

These guys always get lots of aclaim, but every time I hear them, they just seem to be fairly blah and/or genaric to me.

I agree, but the Plans album has some very good songs on it. Sometimes 'the hype' supercedes the artist. byrd wrote:

I've heard rocking out. Rocking out is a friend of mine. And this is no rocking out.

Don't like Death Cab. Don't like Postal Service. Don't like the little boy simper.

Yes Yes Yes!!! Keep the DCFC coming - they've got a new one coming out this month and I can't wait. Ben Gibbard's writing is very original & unique and Chris Walla is one of the better rock producers working today imo.

and sadly from what I've heard a one time only effort...
Sounds a bit like pink cigarette by Mr. Bungle
one of my favorite tracks from DCFC so far...
Hey, I can finally be hip and say I listen to Death Cab for Cutie. Actually, though, I really like this...
Reminds me of Dolby... theme

Hmmmm. All their songs are starting to sound the same for me. Not a huge fan of this one.

This track is a little heavy, but overall this band puts out some nicely layered stuff. I was turned on to them by my hip teenage brother-in-law ... who amazingly was turned on to them from Radio Paradise. :-)
I had the opportunity to take note of this band when they made the 'Top 10 albums of 2003' list in Paste Magazine. What an exciting discovery this has been!
