Death Cab For Cutie - Asphalt Meadows (September 16, 2022) Album • Page 24

Kintsugi really runs the gamut from stuff I absolutely love (the first four tracks) to stuff I think is dogshit (“El Dorado,” maybe their worst song).

 

I like like half of Kintsugi. The middle is pretty damn dull if I recall, but I also haven't listened in a while.

 

The only song I'm not that into on that album is Good Help (Is So Hard to Find).

 

I really don’t like the run of “Everything’s a Ceiling,” “Good Help,” and “El Dorado.” Everything else is good to great, but those three songs really hurt the record for me.

 

"Everything's a Ceiling" is probably my second favourite song they've done since Narrow Stairs. Always felt like that was super underrated.

 

I really enjoy Kintsugi, it came out my last semester of college so I’ve got a lot of bittersweet memories associated with it. Only thing I don’t love is Hold No Guns coming right after You’ve Haunted Me All My Life. Everything’s a Ceiling is the other song that’s just ok for me but I’m huge on the rest.

 

Kintsugi is actually a perfect record you’re all wrong

it came out right when I had my last break up and I was 18 so I’ll always be attached to it lol

 

tapping the sign

 

I love El Dorado, favorite song off Kintsugi.

 

No Room in Frame is an all-timer by them. Beverly Drive is also great, I think Little Wanderer is pretty underrated, Black Sun is good, that’s all I care about on the record.

 

yeah everything’s a ceiling is great

 

someone tell me how to request a site ban right now

 

I LOVE Kintsugi so I don’t know if I would take Codes and Keys over that but I will say that I revisit songs off the latter far more than anything on Kintsugi.

Doors Unlocked and Open? Come on. COME AHHHHHHNNNNNN

 

"Doors Unlocked and Open" is the one song on Codes I don't really like much.

 

In case anyone else is interested, here are some photos and info on drum gear used for the album

 

Some of you are too young

 

An album with the best stuff from C&K, Kintsugi, and TYFT would be just as good as anything else they’ve done

 

simply untrue but that isn’t a slight to those songs

 

idk, I think it would still be significantly weaker than their 2000's albums, especially Trans and Plans.

 

but yeah, I could definitely make a really good album out of the best of those three.

 

I actually don’t think I have ever listened to kintsugi besides the singles—will need to change that soon

 

I...actually dig this

 

This is me but with Codes and Keys lol

 

honest question not only to you but basically to any user who makes a comment such as the one in quoting here - do you simply remember this type of info offhand? Or did you just listen to the album and then make your post? Or look at the song titles as a refresher? I’m always blown away when people make a post such as this because I can’t remember shit and people are just fuckin’ snipering out the songs they love or hate or didn’t care for and there are very, very few artists I could do that for lol

 

I listened to that album a ton back in 2015. Liked it more then than I do now, but it's definitely a record I wrote about at the time, and I think I maybe put it in the lower reached of my end-of-the-decade list. Death Cab is also one of those bands whose stuff I just revisit semi-often, even the albums I like a little less, so I remember most of their song titles.
