Death Cab For Cutie

Album reviews

Plans
Atlantic (2005)
Who'd have thought it, but Plans is Death Cab's major-label debut, and it's their best album to date.

Transatlanticism
Barsuk (2003)
Most of the songs stick to a pretty safe formula, but there seems to be little doubt that Transatlanticism is Death Cab's finest album yet.

The Photo Album
Barsuk (2001)
While not every song is a gem, the ones that are have pushed the band's already high standard of compelling indie pop one notch higher.

Something About Airplanes
Barsuk (1999)
Pop bands are a dime a dozen. They spring out from places you never would have thought possible. Suburbs, cities, slums, ditches, sewers...okay, I may be getting a little too dramatic, but the point is that finding a special pop band out of the faceless masses is hard.

Knitting Factory, New York
As I milled my way out of the room, I felt satiated. The bands had been enjoyable and the crowd had been fun.
