Sweet intro
Even with less-then-invigorating production Deathcab thrives when lingering around gently distorted, invitingly aggressive compositions that get to air out, something they contrast well enough with more straight-ahead rockers on their debut. 3 1/2

Worthwhile introduction into the fragile pop-rock melodies that would drive their early career into teenage hearts all over America. .


I need more Death Cab!!!
I literally stumbled onto Death Cab For Cutie, just passing time in an FYE. What a joy it is to be turned on or to discover music from an artist you're hearing for the first time. I picked up "Something About Airplanes" and thought I'd give a random listen. Needless to say, the incredible melodies, and compelling lyrical content immediately got me open. DCFC bears a strong resemblance to another favorite band of mine, Built To Spill. Lead singer Ben Gibbard's delivery is almost dead on for BTS's Doug Martsch's wailing, melancholy tone. That's a good thing to me, as the same things that drew me in to BTS also seemed to have me ready to expand the Death Cab collection to include their other releases. But S. A. A is a great place to start if you're new to this band like me, "Bend To Squares", "Champagne From A Paper Cup", and "Amputations" are all perfect examples of indy rock done right. The titles of the songs are something else. (The Face That Launched 1000 S****??) I've heard from a lot of DCFC fans who say that this isn't even close to their best album. (Plans was mentioned a lot) If that's the case, my pockets might be in real trouble. Looking forward to the next time they're in Philly! .


Overall review of Death Cab For Cutie
This band has brought something to the table that I really enjoy. This style of music is what I have been looking for my entire life, I just haven't known. The very first sample I heard of Ben Gibbard was, "Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in". That barely audible tune that I heard while off the coast of Africa is what set it off. I searched and searched and now have almost all of their CDs. I Love Plans, it's an amazing CD. Translantisicm trails it, but not by much. I am now listening to Something About Airplanes. I take each CD one at a time. I will listen to only one CD, over and over until I am familiar with all of the tracks, it is then that I decide on what I think about the CD, I sort of invest time into each CD. I'm still working on "Airplanes". It has it's ups and downs, while the other two I mentioned are constant ups. Of course all reviews are opinions, so give all of Death Cab's albums a try to see what you think. I look forward finishing "Airplanes" and starting with the next.


Great Product!
I'd reccomend this to anyone!. If you like Death Cab, you'll love this CD! It is a good reference to before Death Cab somewhat sold out.


this has nothing to do with airplanes
D. This C. is probably the best constructed of Death Cab For Cutie's albums in my opinion, for it has the most variety and has more complex rock than on some of its other more soft releases. Its lyrics aren't quite as well articulated as those on the album "Transatlanticism", but it's hard to remember that while paying attention to the catchy rhythms and sound effects that transpire in nearly every featured song. Styles range from long mystic tunes like "Line of Best Fit" to fairly energetic ones like the one I'd recommend most: "President of What". This track has good lyrics and rhythms, as well as a unique guitar progression that is rather catchy. Besides this song, most of the songs have a rippling guitar effect or some sort of technological jest to go with the music. Negative sides of the album are that the C. D. has nothing to do with airplanes, it has unrequired language in some instances, and does not have loads and loads of interesting melodies. Still, some tracks are likeable and if nothing else admirable for there uniqueness in comparison to the other featured songs. I would not suggest the purchase of this album, but overall it isn't horribly bad.
I recommend:
President of What?
Champagne From A Paper Cup
