Death Cab For Cutie - Thank You For Today (August 17, 2018) Album • Page 23

No Sunlight is a jam

 

I don’t know why but I love the “lonely fish in a sea full of squid” line on Your Hurricane. This album gets better with each listen.

 

Summer Years is so damn good wow.

 

The call-response between the piano and guitar on Northern Lights is sublime

 

I'd be lying if I said some of these lyrics weren't giving me the feels.

 

What happened to Ben that he can all of a sudden write an album's worth of great material again?




waschrisholdingthembackthiswholetime?

 

He in fact was not.

 

Northern Lights slaps and 60 & Punk sounds like a Hold Steady song

 

I’d Need a breakdown of what exactly Chris contributed and what he didn’t, but my perception is that he wasn’t as necessary to their best material as a lot of us thought. They have a killer rhythm section, Ben has a good ear for melody and can write good lyrics when he wants to, and the production on this is, imo, better than anything they’ve done since Trans.

 

Holy shit you’re right woah

 

Yeah, he probably wasn't, but maybe it's good he left the band because he produced what will be one of the years best albums and Dcfc became good again

 

This album was pretty forgettable. So many new artists are more exciting than Death Cab in 2018, but I understand that longtime fans will still enjoy this.

 

listened to this on my drive back from vacation today and i enjoyed every song! very pleasurable listen all the way through even if it's not like top tier dcfc or anything

 

This album rules, I seriously love it. I hear something new each time I listen. And for anyone wondering about Chris I highly recommend his most recent record, Tape Loops.

 

I should play this at some point... maybe tomorrow!

 

Summer Years, Northern Lights, Near Far and 60 & Punk are the first standouts for me.

 

On first listen I like it better than Kintsugi, I’m a DCFC + riffs guy

 

Something about the piano melody of the closer just instantly fucks me up.

 

Really into this album. I think i still like kintsugi more, but we shall see in a couple months.

 

It isn't bad at all! Gold rush by far the worst song on here

 

early impressions are this is the best deathcab record since narrow stairs

 

They played the good ones tonight.

 

My early impression is that Kintsugi is better than this, but I like this a lot more than Codes & Keys.

 

Gold Rush grew on me a bit. I think the reason I didn’t like it initially was because I first heard it with the music video, which really doesn’t do the song any favors.

 

hearing Sound of Settling in the set after passively watching the first few songs is soo weird
