Ben Gibbard Ranks Death Cab for Cutie Albums • Page 2

Yeah. I have some friends who are massive Death Cab fans and I always stand my ground and say The Photo Album is my favorite. They often just smile and nod politely at me.

 

Yeah I sort of agree with some of his points, but I think it was a rather pretentious way to say it.

Anyway, this was interesting, and I'm really into the new songs so I'll see how that ranks comparatively.

 

Photo Album is my fav pre-Trans DCFC album.

 

Followed by Stable Song, which I think is their most underrated song. "The gift of memory is an awful curse. With age, it gets much worse. But I won't mind."

 

My favorite song too. I was bummed that Plans had a trimmed down version of it but the video on the Directions release is fantastic.

 

I had no issue with that quote tbh

 

I also back that pull quote. Ben isn't pretentious, he's identifying a fair critique.

 

New album is very solid.

 

Lucky! I want to hear it so damn bad. I’m jealous that you’ve heard it, but ecstatic that you think it’s solid.

 

There was a LOT of garbage emo bands, but he acts like there weren't an equal amount of garbage indie bands. Why feel the need to bash a genre who gave us Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the Reason, The Promise Ring, American Football, etc...
