Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
With songs equal to those on We Have the Facts and a lush, brilliant production that continues what The Photo Album started, Transatlanticism is easily Death Cab's best record to date. Much attention has duly been focused on doe-eyed singer/lyricist Ben Gibbard, co-star of the Postal Service phenomenon, and Ben's voice is as strange, beautiful, and as strong as ever on these songs, which deal with the difficulties of long-distance relationships. But guitarist/producer Chris Walla once again proves himself to be the band's secret weapon, layering subtle sonic touches throughout Transatlanticism, which is most definitely a "headphone record." This Seattle quartet is one of the only bands to really have picked up the intelligent, emotionally resonant, and guitar-driven indie-pop torch that Built to Spill briefly lit in the mid-1990s (before themselves heading off to the stoner-rock territory). DCFC themselves seem poised to finally break out to a wider audience, and they truly deserve it with this disc. --Mike McGonigal

The first time I'd ever heard Death Cab For Cutie (DCFC) I was working in a movie theatre during the summer of 2005; `Sound of Settling' had been attached to the trailer for Shopgirl and would play 2-3 times on the television above the cash register. The combination of Chris Walla's voice and rippling images of vulnerability absolutely captivated me. I would stop whatever I was doing at the `Sound of Settling' to embrace one brief moment of clarity and sophistication in an otherwise tumultuous ...

This has to be one of their best CD's to date. Every track on here is perfectly written and produced. Now,that doesn't mean that their other albums are bad. These guys have never put out a bad album in their career. I would rate this at the top of my fave DCFC albums,followed closely by a tie between Photo Album and Plans. Tracks that stand out for me would be...Title & Registration,Tiny Vessels,Passenger Seat,We Looked Like Giants,and Lack of Color...although the other tracks are still great.Definetly ...

**i'm a 32 yr old guy who used to listen to Stone Roses, Lush, Smiths, REM, etc. and i was thinking this might be like some of that stuff.. it wasn't..
**Lightness, title and registration and We Looked Like Giants are the only decent songs on this CD.. and Giants is screwed up at the end with that dumb static thing that they did on it.. Lightness is the best song by far- it gives me chills listening to it.. very very good.. but again, it's a short song so as much as you like it it only last 2 mins.. ...

I recently watched their Transatlanticism tour "Drive Well Sleep Carefully" on HBO and loved the songs. Normally I don't purchase an entire album unless I'm familiar with the artist and their music. So, I was pleasantly surprised by this purchase because it is a very good album. Other than just liking the sound of the band, I also enjoyed the enthusiasm that is evident when listening to their songs, like they really love what they're doing. I'm not good at giving reviews, I just know what I like, and I definitely ...

This is a great example of Ben Gibbard's introspective lyrics and songwriting ability. The song "Transatlantticism" is one of, if not the best DCfC songs. I was unaware of them until the song was featured on "Six Feet Under"....from there on out, I was hooked on their music. What a breathe of fresh air!
