One of the most infuriating developments in pop culture in recent memory is the appropriation of “indie” as something of a novelty sub-genre—- see also the endless string of pop fads extending from swing to ska to “Latin” to bluegrass to nu-metal ...
Pros: "Soul Meets Body", Dan Gibbard's very on key voice, solid Cons: Couple of snoozers, songs that repeat only two verses for almost 5 minutes.
Beautiful melodies. Pleasant to the ears. Lyrically stimulating. And, what in the HELL is “The OC?” Just kidding. I know what it is, but I don’t care about it. Me being one of five people that just don’t care about television ...
Pros: It's undeniably beautiful to listen to; and occasionally, even moving. Cons: It's not quite as visionary as it believes itself to be.
The picture moves in fast motion, but the road goes on so long and so straight that it almost feels like no motion at all; and all you see is her soft red hair endlessly fluttering, fluttering, fluttering, silhouetted by the daylight she's moving ...
Pros: Homage to terrific pop albums of the past... Cons: ...but few radio friendly cuts.
Many popular music fans lost their way when new media distribution spawned a long tail that allowed fans to stay wedded not just to a particular genre, but to a specific song set from that era. Whether Motown, Top 40, progrock or singer/songwriter ...
Pros: An incredibly solid album of creative songs and brilliantly written lyrics... Cons: None (read review)
I'll admit that I'm pretty aversive to listening to any band that is associated with the word "emo". First of all, I don't understand how "emotional" can become a genre of music...isn't all music emotional in some sense? And even worse, I ...
Pros: A highly consistent jaunt into the tangled world of white college boy alterna-blues. Cons:Soul Meets Body is as close as we get to a rock-out.
I think I’ve finally found a group that’s even more depressing than The Cure. If Death Cab For Cutie, or at least the members of it that write the songs, aren’t on medication, then let me be the first to say that I won’t be surprised to ...
Pros: Great songwriting, many standout tracks Cons: Similar sounding songs, commercial
2005's Plans is the pinnacle release by Death Cab For Cutie because it marks the place where they went commercial and still kept their integrity. Many fans of the band are still on the fence about it, but I think it's generally one of their better ...
Pros: A lot of great material, grows on you with each listen Cons: Doesn't break new musical ground, some songs are sluggish
If this album was a movie, it would be a subtle indie film, with no big explosions or chase scenes. It's simply stripped-down music with no fancy production tricks (except for the song "Different Names for the Same Thing") that focuses on the ...
Pros: Fresh, innovative, moody music that never loses its depth. Cons: Fans of the old Death Cab may be disappointed
Comments Wanted I got into Death Cab For Cutie a few months ago, when my brother bought a copy of Transatlanticism. I've never been one for emo/indie/expirimental music before; I always preferred music that took no thought to enjoy. ...
Pros: Pros? What are these things? Cons: Ah, cons. Now I see.
Hullo. Moy name is Ben Gibbard. You may know me as the lead singer and song-writer of indie-turned-pop-deliberate-se
ll-out
four-piece Death Cab for Cutie. Note those words, mates: deliberate sell-out. You may find it a fishy coincidence ...
Pros: Still Death Cab,Gibbard,Polished sound, Lyrics. Cons: Polished sound too slick?,Over sappy, Tries to be too epic.
Many times have I seen a band that already has many albums come out of virtually nowhere with a hot disc, then all of a sudden they are at the forefront of the music industry. It's happened to OutKast,Red Hot Chili Peppers,The White Stripes,and many ...
Pros: Some of their best moments so far. Their best produced and engineered record so far. Cons: Not consistently fantastic. A few disappointing songs.
This was my first Death Cab album and while I loved it enough to then go on and eventually acquire their whole back catalog (and see them on their last Australian tour - the show was awesome), I don't necessarily think it's their best album, though it ...
Pros: Mostly solid songs, great lyrics. Cons: A couple weaker tracks, overproduced in some areas.
The Band Ben Gibbard- Vocals/Guitar Chris Walla- Guitarist Nicholas Harmer- Bass Jason McGerr- Drums Praised for his unique voice, consistently stellar songwriting, and the ability to create insightful, yet accessible lyrics, Ben Gibbard is ...
Pros: Moving, excellent combination of vocals and music, Great use of language skills Cons: Repetitive in rhythms and instrumentation.
Music has a powerful influence to those that give heed to its call. The art of music is not just a random combination of sounds thrown together. It is planed, mixed carefully like medicine. Medicine needs the right combination of ingredients for it ...
Pros: Delightfully original and tastefully inspirational Cons: A few slower songs, not my cup of tea.
Death Cab for Cutie never ceases to amaze and inspire their fans with each new album they release. "Plans", not only raises the bar for Death Cab for Cutie, but also for the entire Alternative/Indie Rock genre. Death Cab, like a fine wine just ...
