    Default Death Cab for Cutie

    Ok Ive heard loads about these and Im currently bidding on thier new album "Plans." I was wondering if anyone thinks its worth it or if I should go after one of their older albums? I like "The Sound of Settling" which I watched on YouTube.

    Transatlanticism is one of my favorite albums ever, so I'd recommend that. I love Death Cab For Cutie.

    Yeah, Im watching that one at the moment on ebay. Im going to get it when my laon comes through. So who are they mostly like? Ebay sellers reckon they sound like Snow Patrol, who I cant stand. But "Sound of Settling" was nothing like Snow Patrol.

    I've never listened to Death Cab specifically, but I've heard it's the same frontman as The Postal Service. How do they sound in comparison?

    death cab are more kinda slow...bleh. I dunno. I like some of their stuff, I quite like Plans and a couple of the old albums, but some of it does seem depressing to me >> Like "I will follow you into the dark" about someone dying basically.... I think they are okay...but I prefer the postal service because I like more upbeat stuff. I love the beats on the postal service,

    I remember drifting half to sleep while listening to that.... Postal service is more electronic and stuff I guess, LastFM describes them as "indietronica". The other half of postal service has some other stuff like James Figurine and I really like that. If you like the electronic side of postal service you'd probably like James Figurine too.

    Anyway I'm going off of the point, sorry. I find it really hard to explain music though. I like death cab but have to be in the right sort of mood for that music which is not often. When doing some work at 2 in the morning once it seemed kinda nice.

    I don't like many of their songs, but I do really like "Soul meets Body".

    I like them alot, but some of their songs I really have to be in the mood for or else they kind of get on my nerves (ie. Transatlanticism).

    I recommend the songs What Sarah Said, Your Heart is an Empty Room, and Someday You Will Be Loved.

    I love this band, and Plans is a great album. I'll Follow You Into the Dark is great, and I like Soul Meets Body as well. One of the coolest things about them is that the defy all genre classification. It's like a mix of rock, pop, alternative, and almost everything else.

    Death Cab are a bit hit and miss, but each of their albums has a couple of great songs on it. I hate to repeat what others have said, but I Will Follow You into the Dark is a fantastic song.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    I really, really disliked them until I saw them live. They put on a fantastic show, and now I pick around their offerings.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
