Plans

From: $13.97

When an indie-rock band as intimately and fiercely loved as Death Cab for Cutie makes the inevitable major-label jump, it often telegraphs a painful death. Witness Husker Du, the Replacements, Nirvana--hell, even R.E.M. After a successful four-album run on tiny Seattle imprint Barsuk, however, Death Cab for Cutie just might buck the trend on its Atlantic premiere. Yes, you can grumble about the production (a little too slick), the proportion of ballads (a little too many) and the overall feeling of restraint (a little too much), but ultimately the album delivers everything the group does best in emotional, experimental songs such as "What Sarah Said" and "I Will Follow You into the Dark," which both blend stark lyrical details with acoustic guitars and soft-focus electronics. In "Soul Meets Body," meanwhile, songwriter Ben Gibbard has come up with the kind of blissful, beatific pop song that's capable of disarming even the harshest skeptic. "A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere," he sings. --Aidin Vaziri

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 16, 2008 Type: User Review A Good Indie-Rock Listen

Plans by Death Cab For Cutie is a strange album. It's very melodic, acoustic, and indie, and every song on this album makes a great lullaby. I bought this album last summer and was impressed with every chord, every beat, and every note they...

From: Amazon Posted: May 17, 2008 Type: User Review I agree; perfection...almost

Had Transatlanticism never been released I think this album would have been rated four and a half stars. Transatlanticism was so stellar that it would have been impossible to top on the follow-up record. This is a lush and beautiful album. Nothing...

This album has made me an enthusiastic new fan of Death Cab for Cutie. I like the mix of ballads and higher-speed tunes (even though I do wish the radio DJs would please stop playing "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" ad nauseum... clearly they...
