Editorial Review: Album Description: A delicious and head-sticking mix of drummer Ben Gibbard's heartbreaking vocal melodies and reflective lyrics of transition and loss, punctuated by energized and beautiful playing from Chris Walla and Nick Harmer. Barsuk Records. Amazon.com: On their debut album, 1999's Something About Airplanes, Death Cab for Cutie proved there's a reason why Northwest music critics continue to sing their praises. The foursome combined the emo sounds of Modest Mouse and 764-Hero with an inventive, and often sly, sentimentality. It worked wonders, but still sounded a little too lo-fi. Luckily, on We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes the group has figured out all the production nuances that flawed that auspicious debut. The opening "Title Track" begins by sounding both crappy and shallow, but the band is merely pulling your leg; two minutes later, the tune expands into a gorgeous, well-produced masterpiece. The album never looks back. Ben Gibbard's songwriting continues to evolve--"Company Calls" segues into, what else, the slower "Company Calls Epilogue"--while the simple lyrics of "For What Reason" and "405" tell infectious stories that demand repeated listenings. Proof positive the Northwest is still churning out great music. --Jason Verlinde Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazing from start to finishCalm, chill, really funky sound to it, touching songs. I could listen to this album 1000x over from start to finish without getting sick of it. The BEST Death Cab for Cutie album by far, and one of the very few albums in my collection I can listen to from start to finish! Rating: - A Consistent AlbumThis is the first album by Death Cab that I have listened to. It certainly takes more than one listen to get into this album. As a number of other reviewers have also said, I almost gave this album a skip after my first listen. Now that I have heard it through a number of times, I appreciate its consistent feel and sad mood. Lots of bands fail in their attempts to make a consistent album where all the songs fit together, but this is one of the rare successes. However, many of the songs do sound similar, and you need to be in a pretty mellow mood to enjoy them. Most of the songs are good or very good. They build up well and end strongly. The verses, bridges, and choruses fit together. (I find that ... Read More: Rating: - Read the Facts, Vote Yes(Editor's Note: Article written by son, Trevor.) Being a giant fan of Death Cab For Cutie, this was my fifth album by them (sixth, if you count Directions.) I would have to say, this would be my favorite album by them. Everything this band has put out I have been thoroughly impressed by, but something about this one will make you listen to it over and over. The best way to describe it is to go through every song. 1. From the moment you start it, "Title Track" will bring pleasure to your ears. While it is a simple song, something about it you fall in love with. The muffled effect in the beginning and the transition to a clarity after the first chorus adds great effect to the song. However, after about ten ... Read More: Rating: - reviewed by a devoted death cab fanwhile i love transatlanticism and plans. i feel they are great for a band that is evolving musically. we have the facts however is by far my favorite release from the immortal death cab for cutie. songs like For What Reason and Title Track leave me with a twinkle in my eye its the two Company Calls songs that bring this album home. i see far too many reviews from people that are comparing this album to plans and the truth is that while plans is a great album. we have the facts makes that album look like top 40 garbage Rating: - it's too bad this is receiving less than 5 starsThis band continues to impress and amaze me even though I have already listened to all of their albums. When I first listened to this album, I could have agreed with the somewhat negative reviews, but now I wouldn't have anything to do with them. The more you listen to Death Cabs CDs the more you will come to understand and respect the group and their work. |
