Does anybody here like Death Cab for Cutie? And if so, what do you think of their new album, Plans?

I've been an avid Death Cab fan for 7 years and I was horrified when "The OC" bastardized their music into pop-culture history, but I was willing to forgive them as long as this album turned out okay.

I was kind of disappointed. It's not anywhere as good as Transatlanticism or The Photo Album... a little too pretty and mellow to be the cult-favorite indie sensation I loved them for. I wish they decided to be a bit more experimental... but they played it safe. There are some really good songs on the album, but I'm starting to wish another Postal Service album was released instead.

Thoughts?
