Genre: Popular Music Media Format: Compact Disk Rating: Release Date: 30-AUG-2005 Amazon.com: When an indie-rock band as intimately and fiercely loved as Death Cab for Cutie makes the inevitable major-label jump, it often telegraphs a painful death. Witness Husker Du, the Replacements, Nirvana--hell, even R.E.M. After a successful four-album run on tiny Seattle imprint Barsuk, however, Death Cab for Cutie just might buck the trend on its Atlantic premiere. Yes, you can grumble about the production (a little too slick), the proportion of ballads (a little too many) and the overall feeling of restraint (a little too much), but ultimately the album delivers everything the group does best in emotional, experimental songs such as "What Sarah Said" and "I Will Follow You into the Dark," which both blend stark lyrical details with acoustic guitars and soft-focus electronics. In "Soul Meets Body," meanwhile, songwriter Ben Gibbard has come up with the kind of blissful, beatific pop song that's capable of disarming even the harshest skeptic. "A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere," he sings. --Aidin Vaziri Catching up with Death Cab for Cutie Something About Airplanes We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes Forbidden Love [EP] The Photo Album You Can Play These Songs with Chords Transatlanticism Disc 1: Marching Bands of Manhattan Soul Meets Body Summer Skin Different Names for the Same Thing I Will Follow You into the Dark Your Heart Is an Empty Room Someday You Will Be Loved Crooked Teeth What Sarah Said Brothers on a Hotel Bed Stable Song Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
