Death Cab For Cutie

[AxlsMainMan]

Any other song recommendations along the lines of Sound of Settling? I like the mellow/ballad type songs too but I rather get to know the more upbeat side of this band first.

Scientist Studies
Prove My Hypotheses
New Year
Coney Island

Big fan of this band, good for calm motorway driving! I got Plans a while back and i agree its the best album i bought for a while at least. Is translantism worth the purchase? better or worse?

I cant really say if its better or not. I can say that its different since Plans is a mellow style, Transatlanticism is more guitar heavy. It still has great songs on it though.

Actually I would recommend going in order of the actual releases and witness the development of the band. If you dont want all their early stuff at least start with "The Photo Album" than "Transatlanticism"

Also see if you can find some "Postal Service" downloads. It has Ben Gibbards song writing style, with some different musical styles. I like the whole album "Give Up" but it might not be for everyones tastes.

thanks kujo, ill do just that!

I just got the Photo Album. I already had Transatlanticism and Plans.

Still a pretty good album.

This band is really good I feel. Not that that big yet. They could be the next U2 but I don't know. I guess anyone can say that. But I feel they've done some pretty good quality shit.

The New Year is probs my favorite song followed by Trans and then Marching Bands.

Saw them live in TO this April at the Ricoh Coliseum. So amazing. They blew Franz out of the water.

Personally, I think they suck.  But in Wizard Magazine issue 177, the band annonced that they were releasing a music video for every song on the "plans" album.  Two of the vidoes are dirceted by comic book artists, so thats why it was Wizard this month.

I dont mind if people don't like them as long as they actually listened to them first

The videos are all available on their website and on a recently released DVD called directions. A pretty good concept that maybe other bands will hopefully pick up on. The video for What Sarah Said takes an already depressing song and makes it even more frigging depressing. This is one of a few videos that could be released by the band as is.
