This Death cab for Cutie album is one of my favorites, if not my favorite death cab album ever. The album is absolutly fantastic. It doesnt have the same sound of typical old school death cab, but i still like it. I'm afriad to say I think this is the beginning of the end of death cab as an independent band. I recently saw death cab at a small venue. I think their next show will be at a much larger amitheater ike setting...they're getting popular, as well they should.
