Saw these guys last week for the first time when they passed through town. Very, very impressive.

Sometimes, just reading comments from folks can be as entertaining as the music. Very often, funny stuff! |

Considering you've left several cranky grievances for each song of theirs in the RP Library, they may not fade so quickly. |

There's a nice quality about this band...and there's also some blandness happening. I think it's the lack of dynamics in the vocals and music. Everything just sorta flows...but nothing ever gushes.

My CD collection is made up of many artists who I guess would be considered "a flyspot on this page of musical history," thankfully. |

Ben Gibbard is, in my opinion, one of the better lyricists and songwriters in popular music today.
i'm with you, except i'm not sold on his vocals. |

I see it now. Death Cab would be PERFECT if they stopped being such damn wimps. Maybe throw in some screaming here and there, spandex, drum solos, 20 minute guitar epiphanies...
I used to think some songs could be heartfelt and soft-spoken. Now I have seen the light.
Cheers!  |

Ever since I first heard 'Styrofoam Plates' I've been hooked. Emotional, whiny, over-wrought, all true assessments. Maybe that's why I really like DCFC.

"Plans" and "Transatlanticism" are two albums that I must listen to start to finish. There aren't many other albums that I can do that with.

Who's that singer - Simon, or Garfunkel?
One thing's for sure: Someone got him by the balls!

Whimpy vocals quote is right. Not quiet Petshop boys-whimpyness but close. Not terrible though.
p.s. what is that on the album cover? Macro-Algae?

It is kind of the other way around, but no matter. The song is good.  |

Someone pointed out the lead singer was from Postal Service(?), all I hear now.
Cool. Thanks, 8.
