Free Music Notes for Narrow Stairs
Free Music Review: Don't waste your time or money.
Hit: 1 Stars
Death Cab for Cutie has always been an all-time favorite of mine. They were my very first concert.
I was ecstatic when I heard that they were finally coming out with a new album.
I couldn't have been more disappointed. Not even one song stood out on the ENTIRE CD.
Oh, Death Cab. Please, give us something decent next time. Please.
Free Music Review: Monotonous and bland, yet surprisingly boring
Hit: 2 Stars
This is the complete opposite of the Death Cab I know and love. What happened to melody? What happened to diversity? Each song seems blandly the same, monotonous, and (gasp!) downright BORRRINGGGG!
I saw them live in L.A. a while back, and their energy and effort blew me away. I even chatted with Ben backstage, and his charisma and joy was impressive. Too bad they didn't translate that into this album....
Free Music Review: Rocky but good.
Hit: 4 Stars
This record is definitely a departure from their previous works. Rockier and with more jam sessions but still very good. Free Music Review: Marionettes for the Music Box
Hit: 1 Stars
Trash.
Unremarkable, forgettable garbage.
Never has going through the motions been so adeptly portrayed in song.
There is not a single worthwhile composition, suggesting that, like many who get doused with popularity, the band doesn't have the artistic wherewithal to keep a record label from dictating every melodic sweep and gesture with the twitch of a wrist.
I tried valiantly to stick with Death Cab through the stilted, meta-production of Plans and the meadering dissonance of Transatlanticism.
But it is now official that the band has been permanently led astray from the mystical, albeit morose, ingenuity that engendered "Something About Airplanes."
Though it saddens me, I cannot follow Gibbard into the dark.
If anyone has an address for the band, let me know. I'd like to return my copy to sender.
Free Music Review: Only what I expected from Death Cab
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is pretty typical of Death Cab. It's not really anything out of the ordinary, but every song is great. It's one of those CDs you just keep in the car and listen to forever and always find a song that was a hidden favorite.
