Death Cab For Cutie - Thank You For Today (August 17, 2018) Album • Page 56

I think I found them when I was 7th or 8th grade. I had known IWYITD, but I was dating a girl who liked Trans a lot and got me into it. That album became monumentally important for me when we ended up breaking up, lol.

 

Photo Album is my favorite by them. So much to unpack in that record. It's definitely not an instant pleaser, but grows with each listen. I feel that all their records age well, but that one feels like a proper bridge between their old style and new style and touches on something special.

 

You rule

 

Am I really the only one on here that got introduced to them through the O.C.? Damn

 

from the oc to my older sister to me so almost

 

I watched the entirety of the O.C. about 11 years after it premiered so it was just a pleasant surprise to see and hear a bunch of my favorite bands from 2003-07 pop up as I watched the show

 

I remember in the first season there's a scene where they're driving down to Mexico and Summer starts complaining about Death Cab playing on the radio saying it's "two guitars and a whole bunch of whining." I was in total shock.....not only was the band I liked that I thought no one knew about played on a hit show, but there was an entire scene about them!
Pretty sure the song was A Movie Script Ending.

 

A classmate I met in summer school of 07 (I was 15) gave me a mix CD after talking about bands we liked. The third track was Blacking Out the Friction and the next Soul Meets Body. I was mesmerized. Soon afterwards I got Plans and Trans and the rest was history. Don't think I heard Photo album till a year or two later thou lol.

 

I still haven't really listened to the albums before Photo Album. Maybe I will do that today.

 

We Have the Facts is, it turns out, every bit as good as I remember.

 

Facts is one of their best.

 

I heard I Will Follow You Into the Dark on tumblr in 2009 and later, listened to Transatlanticism every night for two months after my first break up

 

I think my ultimate fav dcfc song is moviescript ending

 

I mean

Whenever I come back, the air on the railroad is making the same sounds
And the shop fronts on Holly are dirty words (asterisks in for the vowels)
We peered through the windows, new bottoms on barstools but the people remain the same
With prices inflating, inflating

 

Do itttt

 

There is some really great/fun stuff on You Can Play These Songs With Chords as well for you early DCFC enthusiasts out there

 

Facts over the last few years has become my second favorite album only behind Trans.

 

Army Corps of Architects. If ya'll havent heard that song yet, get on it now!

 

Facts has some of their best songs. Title Track, No Joy in Mudville, Scientist Studies, 405, etc

 

What does everyone think of All-Time Quarterback?

 

Little Fury Bugs and the Company Calls songs are really good too. Honestly, the back half of that record is so stacked

 

Facts has some of their best songs, probably because it's their best record!!

 

Yeah there honestly isn’t a bad song in the bunch.

 

For the longest time the only song I knew off Facts was Company Calls and I loved it so much.

 

"The Employment Pages" was the one that clicked with me first, but "Title Track" and "Company Calls Epilogue" soon grew to become all-time favorites
