I know it's sorta old news, but... death cab is my favorite band and i'd like to start a discussion about the new album.

personally, i think it's better than transatlanticism, which i thought couldnt be possible. soul meets body is one of the best songs on it, but, wow, im crying because the whole album is just SO good.

ben gibbard is genius

This is a perfect candidate for the Music Forum..!

/end forum police.

I liked Transatlanticism (mostly because of Tiny Vessels), but it had a lot of filler and the album as a whole didn't impress me. I want to give the new one a listen, as this is their first on a major and the production quality is sure to be top-notch.

oh wow, didn't realize we had a music forum.

I love some of the songs (Brothers on a Hotel bed, Marching bands of Manhattan, etc) but after a few listens the novely wore off and I still like Transantlanticism as a whole better.

Meh. They're alright, but I'll take me Minus the Bear and whatnot over them anyday.
