Death Cab For Cutie - Thank You For Today (August 17, 2018) Album • Page 59

hm I never really thought these two songs were trying to do similar things at all

 

the full version of I Will Posses Your Heart is one of their best songs

 

seconded

 

Thinking about Bixby made me remember that this band absolutely kills it when it comes to side 1 track 1's. Just look:

- Title Track
- Steadier Footing
- The New Year
- Marching Bands of Manhattan
- Bixby
[MISSING FILE]
- No Room in Frame
- I Dreamt We Spoke Again

 

Home is a Fire is good though!!

 

Yeah that’s crazy I’ll take home is a fire over the next two.

 

Bend to Squares is great too!

 

home is a fire is an excellent song

 

I got a hot take : death cab is gud!

 

I've never really liked Steadier Footing or Movie Script Ending much.

 

"bend to squares" missing is gonna get a big ol hmmmm from me

and yes, "home is a fire" is good!

 

We ranking track ones?

Title Track
The New Year
Marching Bands of Manhattan
Bend to Squares
I Dreamt We Spoke Again
Bixby Canyon Bridge
A Steadier Footing
Home is a Fire
No Room in Frame

"No Room in Frame" is really the only one I don't care for, and that says a lot considering I think it's one of the better tracks on the album.

 

Oh man. A movie script ending is EASILY my favorite death cab song ever.

 

The New Year
Marching Bands of Manhattan
No Room in Frame
Title Track
Bixby Canyon Bridge
Bend to Squares
I Dreamt We Spoke Again
Home is a Fire
Steadier Footing

 

No Room In Frame is fantastic. To be honest I really like every opener.

1. The New Year (10/10)
2. Bixby Canyon Bridge (9.5/10)
3. Marching Bands of Manhattan (9.5/10)
4. No Room in Frame (9/10)
5. Title Track (8/10)
6. Home is a Fire (8/10)
7. Steadier Footing (8/10)
8. I Dreamt We Spoke Again (8/10)

Need more time with the debut as i only recently checked it out tbh.

 

Some headscratchy takes in this thread rn.

IWPYH's buildup is wonderful. Have y'all even heard it live? So damn good.

Movie Script Ending, Steadier Footing, Home is a Fire are ALL bangers.

Alright, time to come clean & let everyone know I’ve never listened to their first LP. That’s why I left Bend to Squares off.

as for home is a fire, it depends on the day but I’m very 50/50 on it

 

well? hop to it!

Don’t care much for I dreamt we spoke again

 

Honestly forgot what it sounded like and had to listen to it in order to complete my Ranking for this thread

 

I think No Room In Frame is the best Death Cab song since Narrow Stairs

Dreamt We Spoke is my least favorite opener and also my least favorite on the album

 

First heard I Dreamt We Spoke Again on an early, cool morning. That definitely helped.

I'm going to start my listening homework now.

 

it’s fine, just not my favorite
