Free Music Notes for Something About Airplanes
Free Music Review: Uh, I like it
Hit: 4 Stars
And I usually don't like much lo-fi, indie rock because its too much of a chore to listen to. Well, this album's kind of a chore too, certainly not instantly acessible. But there's something I like about this torpid, somewhat sluggish bunch of songs. That rowboat on the cover fits the music perfectly, by the way.Also, as much as I regret to say it, I think this album is cool. It has some cello on it, the lyrics are somewhat mysterious, and even though the vocal definately has some of that slacker-indie sound to it, it never gets annoying. Probably the best way to describe this album is "a slightly off-kilter, dreamy bunch of torpid songs." Whatever that is. But basically, I like it, and you probably will too, if you have a tolerance for music that can be somewhat boring at times.

I first heard Death Cab at a show with Pedro the Lion in Portland, OR. They were pretty good live, and I wanted to check out some of their other stuff. I got this album, and immediately liked it. Despite what others say, I don't think they sound all that much like Built to Spill, or Modest Mouse. The more you listen to this record the more you like it. They are really good live and this album is still on my current playlist. I like the whole album but my favorite songs are: Bend to Squares, President of What, Your Bruise, and Line of Best Fit.Free Music Review: You gotta see them play.

I first saw Death Cab last summer at Portland, OR's NXNW music festival. I immediatley made a connection with older Sunny Day Real Estate song writtings. The energy and passion that Death CAB has is electric and energizing in a way that I find captivating. I again saw them at the Velvet Elvis in Seattle and was very happy to find the same passion. I spite of technical difficulties, they rose to the occasion and presented a talented and crisp sounding show without any displays of arrogance or conceit. Get the CD and see them if you can.Free Music Review: Great record
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a solid record. It is a cut above most records and bands that are considered a part of this "sound". Death Cab, however, throws the discriminating ear for a loop by throwing in some pop in with the Sunny Day/emo sound. Other times, however, it sounds like something very far removed from that sound. They obviously like to make the music that makes them happy, which makes for an ecclectic mix of songs. This cd grows on you...Free Music Review: My only problem--its way too short!!
Hit: 4 Stars
I love Death Cab, and Ben Gibbard is probably one of my favourite singers as of right now (who knows when that will change) However, this is a great album with some great songs, and an overall great cd for Death Cab. My opinion is most likely slanted since I bought Transatlanticism first, and with so much more to offer, this one seems a little weak, but its still definitley one of my favourites. It's a bit short, but well worth it.
