I quickly tire of the repetition. Regardless, I rated this song as a 6." Personally I like songs that build something exciting and then deliver on it, but I can certainly understand the sentiment. Can I have syrup with my rabbit? |

Well, the first couple of times I heard this, I quite enjoyed it. But it's beginning to wear out its welcome and mystique. Less is more for me, now. Don't need to hear it for another few months, thanks.

Although that version does get to the lyrics faster, which is satisfying in its own way, I suppose. You get to jump ahead to the slightly-geeky-teenage-stalkerish-angst part. |

LOVE Death Cab. This song is so catchy, you'd almost forget it's creepy.

Of course, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys is the same forever meandering and insubstantial lyrics. I like this just about as much. |

Their songs are so sing-songy like what kids sing to jumping rope.

Cure-like intro. Though I'd have to say, if they were going to prolong it like that have they should "explored the space" a bit more.
I only know this band from what FM radio has chosen to play. The first hit song I essentially despised. This I find surprisingly agreeable.

i actually really liked this song when I first heard it. However, after hearing it repeatedly on the radio and such it has started to grate on my nerves a bit. And boy does it stick in your head. Next!

Bass player guy: I have this little bass line that is exactly twelve beats long. I can easily play it for 10 minutes.
Singer guy: Excellent, let's wrap this thing up so I can go home and bang my super hot actress wife, Gwyneth.
Bass player guy: Er, dude, that's not your wife, that's the Coldplay guy.
Singer guy: Are you sure?
Bass player guy: Yep.
Singer guy: I am always getting us confused.
Bass Player: Everyone does.
Singer guy: Do you think I could fool Gwyneth?
Bass player guy: Prolly not. Maybe if you sing to her in the dark.
Singer guy: Somebody get my agent on the phone.
I love Death Cab, but this is the funniest post ever. . . |

After repeated listening this has turned into the athem of humdrum. The bass line started as a 7, now the entire track is a 3.
Maybe time to put it on the monthly rotation...

So this is the first of their tracks that I have ever knowingly listened to, and one of life's mysteries is solved for me. A solid 5 after all that! And they don't possess my heart.
This is one of their weaker songs, in my opinion, and not very representative of their sound which is usually more upbeat and less long. Keep listening for their other songs, and see what you think then. I think many of their songs are quite good, they do have good lyrics and a nice layered soundscape; this song's just ok. |

Like the music, hate the voice.
So now I sort of like two Death Cab songs.

can't deny that it's good music, and I have been a fan of DCFC in the past, but... I think their absurd levels of melodrama and teen romanticism have finally taken their toll. I just can't bring myself to listen to the new album very much.
