Death Cab For Cutie - Thank You For Today (August 17, 2018) Album • Page 37

That is the worst take I've ever seen Craig have

 

I dunno, I loved Puberty 2 but I couldn't really get into Be The Cowboy.

 

honestly weird and random comparison lol

 

Bad album is bad!

 

Bad Craig is bad!

 

But yeah, they aren’t comparable, which is why ascribing any level of significance to year end lists other than “this person/this group of people like these albums” is kind of dumb!

 

Banned!

 

DO IT I HEARD YOU WONT

 

Ugh. Fine.

Don't worry, I am not actually offended that you like the Mitski album better than the Death Cab for Cutie album.

 

I figured hahaha.

60 & Punk is probably a top five Death Cab song for me now tho!

 

Also worth noting that I have had way, WAY worse takes than this in the past!

 

agreed but man I couldn’t get into the Mitski album at all either. Maybe if it weren’t hyped but it never elevated past BG music for me.

 

I'm with @Craig Manning , Mitski just does absolutely nothing for me... I do not understand it

 

Ok this is getting ridiculous guys

 

I would have said the same thing about Mitski back in August, but I gave it another shot the other day and I regret not trying again sooner. It's great

 

these things spiral out of control way too quickly haha.. Anyways.. I heard autumn love the other day and was reminded how great this is.

 

Idk I think it's fair to compare Mitski with this since they're both technically rock/indie rock. The Mitski record is so much more interesting to listen to, and a lot fresher, whereas this is more or less the same thing Death Cab's been doing for years.

Also, if you told me Pitchfork would have put a rock record as #1 (and a country record #2) on its year end list in 2018 I never would have believed it.

 

I think we can steer the conversation away from this topic now. I didn't mean to shit on anyone's favorites or anything, and if you like that Mitski record, then more power to you. I just think it's important to be able to discuss dissenting opinions and to not blanch at the idea that someone could prefer, say, a past-prime Death Cab for Cutie record to the closest thing this year has to a consensus critics' favorite.

 

Northern Lights is a wonderful song

 

Autumn love
Hurricane
Northern lights
Punk and 60 are really great

The rest is okay to good but it’s a really solid record

 

My favorites:

I dreamt we spoke again
Summer years
Autumn love
Northern lights
Near/far
60 & punk

That was more than I expected. I think it’s a relatively boring record lyrically but still makes for a fun listen and sits nicely in their discog, if a little too nicely.

 

I keep coming back to this album a lot.

 

Definitely a boring record lyrically, which has prevented me from getting too into it, but hearing it live really improved it for me. I like it more than Kintsugi and I’d probably say it’s on the level of Codes and Keys which I do enjoy. Summer Years is the best song on here.

 

Wow I think the lyrics are maybe my favorite aspect of this record. Maybe.
