The first time I'd ever heard Death Cab For Cutie (DCFC) I was working in a movie theatre during the summer of 2005; `Sound of Settling' had been attached to the trailer for Shopgirl and would play 2-3 times on the television above the cash register. The combination of Chris Walla's voice and rippling images of vulnerability absolutely captivated me. I would stop whatever I was doing at the `Sound of Settling' to embrace one brief moment of clarity and sophistication in an otherwise tumultuous work environment.
DCFC's songs are so powerful that you will remember your first experience as potently as I did. `Transatlanticism' floods you with intensity, infusing you with melodic tunes and heartfelt lyrics; the halo of this album is an eclectic array of `brokenhearted lullabies' and `youthful anthems of optimism'. The nearly eight minute long title song `Transatlanticism' cannot sum the entirity of this album any more perfectly in its rallying cry: "I need you so much closer".
DCFC has carried me through so much in the years since I've discovered them. As other fans agree, their melodies/lyrics hold a maturity that will carry you through good, bad, and in between. It will grow with you and provide the musical nourishment to cultivate a well tempered soul.
2009-02-18 Masterpiece!!!
This has to be one of their best CD's to date. Every track on here is perfectly written and produced. Now,that doesn't mean that their other albums are bad. These guys have never put out a bad album in their career. I would rate this at the top of my fave DCFC albums,followed closely by a tie between Photo Album and Plans. Tracks that stand out for me would be...Title & Registration,Tiny Vessels,Passenger Seat,We Looked Like Giants,and Lack of Color...although the other tracks are still great.Definetly recommended if your a new time fan that just recently heard about these guys. Old time fans all ready know about this masterpiece. 8)
2008-09-09 This is just okay.. Only for sappy teen girls
**i'm a 32 yr old guy who used to listen to Stone Roses, Lush, Smiths, REM, etc. and i was thinking this might be like some of that stuff.. it wasn't..
**Lightness, title and registration and We Looked Like Giants are the only decent songs on this CD.. and Giants is screwed up at the end with that dumb static thing that they did on it.. Lightness is the best song by far- it gives me chills listening to it.. very very good.. but again, it's a short song so as much as you like it it only last 2 mins..
**I don't know how anyone could give this CD 4 or 5 stars.. it is honestly depressing.. Transatlanticism, the song, has some good points to it but it is overwhelmingly sappy and slow.
This band is loaded i'm sure.. i'd be curious if there earlier stuff wasn't so sappy and slow.. this is just weak when you look at the whole CD.. it doesn't grow on you either..
**Try Arcade Fire.. Funeral.. that is so-so when you first listen to it but it is ***amazing**** and unique after you listen to it after a month on and off.. i blast it in the garage when i'm doing work around the house.. leave Death Cab for middle school girls who just broke up with their boyfriends
2008-06-20 A Very Good Album
I recently watched their Transatlanticism tour "Drive Well Sleep Carefully" on HBO and loved the songs. Normally I don't purchase an entire album unless I'm familiar with the artist and their music. So, I was pleasantly surprised by this purchase because it is a very good album. Other than just liking the sound of the band, I also enjoyed the enthusiasm that is evident when listening to their songs, like they really love what they're doing. I'm not good at giving reviews, I just know what I like, and I definitely like this album. I will probably end up buying all of their albums.
2008-04-12 Transatlanticism
This is a great example of Ben Gibbard's introspective lyrics and songwriting ability. The song "Transatlantticism" is one of, if not the best DCfC songs. I was unaware of them until the song was featured on "Six Feet Under"....from there on out, I was hooked on their music. What a breathe of fresh air!
