3 1/2
Great first half, captures Deathcab doing what they do best, much less effortlessly then in recent times. Last few songs die down a bit since the last is just an alternate, which makes this essential for fans, but not everyone, although quite good ep.

Much like their following full length Photo Album, Forbidden Love is five cinematic snapshots of things slightly unrequited. "Deadcab for what?" was my reaction when the owner of a local indy record store first brought this EP into the coffeeshop where i worked in 2000, which seems like a hopelessly naive reaction after a half-decade when Ben Gibbard and company have proven themselves to be one of the most solid groups of songwriters in modern rock.
The lyrics of "Photobooth" tumble out over a tinny drum loop like a series of those tiny square photos from a tiny curtained room.

After We Have The Facts, DCFC released the five song Forbidden Love EP. "Photobooth" is arguably the greatest DCFC song yet.

Two of the strongest songs From "We Have The Facts" are Featured- An Acoustic version of 405 is very well done, and an alternate take ... Read More:

Before I review this EP, you might want to know about my credentials. I am not now, or ever have been: a fan of indie. I have known about this band for quite some time now. But, I never really stopped to take a good listen. After a while though, their prescence got the best of me, and I decided to purchase this EP to see what these dudes were all about, and what a pleasant experience it was.
The disc opens up with the catchy technical drumbeat intro of "photobooth". A song littered with mellow keyboards, calming guitar picking and lyrically soothing goodness. I quickly decided that simply because of that one song, this band was a winner. I realize that photobooth is in most people's oppinion the best on here, but it's enough ... Read More:
