Death Cab For Cutie - Codes and Keys - May 31st

[mobvok]

I'm really liking this. Their albums in total are kind of hit-or-miss for me, but there's a good stretch here starting with Codes and Keys.

Do, however, get the sense that some of the songs/melodies are a little suffocated by the production. I wish I'd been able to go to Sasquatch, because I get the feeling these songs are even better live.

I enjoy Doors Unlocked and Open.

I enjoy Doors Unlocked and Open.

That's not very safe, and awfully breezy.

This album is still hanging around. I'd say Home Is A Fire and Unobstructed Views are the only ones I skip; otherwise there's a pretty solid 9 song run here. Doors Unlocked and Open is probably my favorite.

A certain Bang and Clatter poster from waaaaay back in the day said I should get this one.

I'm so glad I did. I can't remember liking an album on the first listen as much as I liked this one.

I've listened a couple of times and I still don't know if I like it or not.

 

[u2popmofo]

I like it when I'm listening to it, but can't remember a single thing about it when it's over.

I listened to this and I quite like it. Well done cuties.

$5 on Amazon's MP3 store right now. Use that $2 code i posted in the random thread, and you'll get it for $3.

I like it when I'm listening to it, but can't remember a single thing about it when it's over.

Like I said, it doesn't have the hooks that the typical Death Cab albums do, with a few exceptions like Underneath the Sycamore and You Are a Tourist.
