Oh dear

 

[Dalton]

I'm excited about this album, but I'm listening to Chris Walla's solo album right now and it kind of blows.

 

[Zoomerang96]

06 You Can Do Better Than Me (But I can't do better than you)

that's a real emo title.

i admit plans and transatlanticsm were really good though, and will be interested in hearing this.

^what he said...

 

[phanan]

Can't wait for this.

 

[corianderstem]

Okay, this might just be a steaming pile of hyperbole, but dang, I'm VERY excited to hear this now. He sure makes it sound interesting, to say the very least:

Re-invention seems to be the keyword with most major releases this year.

All 8 minutes of the first single, I Will Possess Your Heart, are

 

[impy13]

Yeah, it's good. Not great, but good.

 

[u2popmofo]

Is it really a single? I saw it was available on Amazon's MP3 section for download, and just assumed it was a random song from the album when i saw the length of it. The clip sounded nice though.

 

[Dalton]

Where can I find the single?

 

[got_edge]

I Will Possess Your Heart is first single of the 2008 Death Cab For Cutie album, Narrow Stairs. It was released on March 18, 2008 and is scheduled to begin radio play on March 24, 2008.

The single is now on sale at Amazon.com.

The radio version and the album version differ by 4 minutes and 48 seconds.

So, something like that.

[Jack In The Box]

interesting, "Plans" wasn't bad... not great, but not bad

I will check the Pitchfork stream

 

[phanan]

I really like it.

 

[Dalton]

I like it. Pitchfork is Slovakian for "asshats".

 

[Zoomerang96]

I like it. Pitchfork is Slovakian for "asshats".

is that right? i live in slovakia and i wasn't aware of this.

interesting. just goes to show that you CAN find out about things on the internet.

 

[corianderstem]

I heard the song. I like it, but that extended intro is too extended. After a while it's a little "Damn it, Gibbard, start singing already!"

 

[u2popmofo]

It's a cool choice as a single. Kinda spits in the face of the "fans" who crapped on them for going to a major label. Not sure if I'll like the shortened "radio" version, but I dig using an 8 min song as the first single on your album and as the first thing any of your fans hear of it. It's ballsier than most would probably expect from them.

 

[phanan]

I agree. I love the long intro.

I'm here to help. To be fair though, I did get my info from VH1.

 

[AtomicBono]

the long intro sounds like a UF/JT b-side

I like this song. Interesting choice for a single, for sure. Pretty low-key. I don't know how I'll feel about it without the long intro though...just because he's not singing doesn't mean it's not a relevant part of the song.

Ironically, Death Cab is the favourite band of the guy whose heart I am trying to posess. Meh.

 

[u2popmofo]

Actually heard the radio version (on the radio of all places!) last night, still seemed to work pretty well with 3 or 4 mins shaved off. It's a nice song, and I love them for having the guts to release it as a single.

And how cool would it be if this really is the most "radio friendly" song on the album?

 

[u2popmofo]

I like the album cover.

They also just announced a show in May about 2 blocks away from where I work.

 

[AtomicBono]

So did you guys hear that the album leaked maybe except not really

from my understanding, there is a leak with the tracks correctly labeled, but they don't have the right times, and it sounds kind of a lot like Death Cab, except maybe not really, but it's also good, even if it's not Death Cab



this is what my friend told me.
