Product Description
From Amazon.com
Death Cab for Cutie turn difficult personal issues into literary rock songs while straddling the narrow line between blissful pop and driving indie rock. The Northwest act's songs soar high like Built to Spill's or Beulah's, and almost every track on The Photo Album is as musically bouncy and upbeat as the best of those bands. As catchy as the songs on The Photo Album may be, though, it's really front man Benjamin Gibbard's comfort with laying his emotional issues bare that makes this an excellent album. "Styrofoam Plates" is the most stunning track, with words that leave chills long after they've disappeared. As Gibbard sings about anger for a dead father ("It's not quite a stretch to say you were not quite a father / But a donor of seeds to a poor single mother / That would raise us alone / We never saw the money / It went down your throat down the hole in your belly"), his stark honesty makes this dysfunctional family story the most compelling piece of this album. The other issues of clumsy relationships pale a little in comparison, but The Photo Album still leaves little doubt that Death Cab deserve all the indie rock accolades they have received. --Jennifer Maerz

5.0 out of 5 stars
the best band ever.....,
By Shea (Chicago, IL, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photo Album (Audio CD)
I know that Death Cab's not the typical pop or rock band out there....and that's one of the many reasons I love them! Their songs have a great feeling and mature sound, and yet they're still rock. DCFC isn't one of those bands that lets other people write their songs and play their music....they took care of that themselves. And, amazingly it turned out 10 times better than those pop bands. Definiteley a cd to listen to no matter what mood you're in.

Simply Beautiful,
By "jimmythejetplane" (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photo Album (Audio CD)
This is the only Death Cab Album I own, and it is very good. The music is so amazing. These guys have real talent. But this CD is definatly not for everybody. The music is Indie Rock, and some people think this sort of thing sucks. I don't, but if you are one of those people that listens to mainstream emo and the stuff that is only on the radio, you probably won't like this. It is underground Indie, which means that Death Cab will not be played on the radio anytime soon, or sell out. So if you are a fan of this genre already, get the CD.

A nice, mellow smooth break.,

I had bough Transatlanticism before buying this cd. I loved Transatlanticism a lot, and was ready for Death Cab's earlier tries. I bought this cd, and was a bit shocked. It just didn't sound quite the same for some reason, and I was kind of bugged by that. However, I listened to it more, and it got better and better. I still think Transatlanticism is better, but this cd is amazing in its own right. It's so mellow, so smooth, and relaxing; I don't think anyone could do it better than Death Cab. Even my dad, who's a Bread, Creme, Allman Bros Band, Alice Cooper, Led Zepplin etc. fan likes these guys quite a bit. I think basically anyone can listen to this band easily, because it's some of the most user-friendly music I've ever heard.
