Give those two a listen. Both are a good bit better than Transatlanticism IMO. Particularly Something About Airplanes

The Open Door EP ftw

I haven't listened to them in years. I'll go back and listen to their LPs and rank them, but I remember thinking The Open Door EP kicked the shite out of Narrow Stairs and that Gibbard was dumb for not putting most of those songs on the LP

Codes sucked hard. I know thats gonna be dead last on my list

There were some songs on Narrow Stairs I enjoyed, but like I said, the songs on The Open Door EP were better.

And the worst song on The Open Door EP was on Narrow Stairs (Talking Bird)

This guy gets it.

Slight tangent, but Bixby Canyon Bridge is a song that rarely receives mad props, so I'm gonna give it mad props right here. Possibly my second fav DCFC track.

You started a thread asking people to rank death cab for cutie albums. And then you criticize their rankings. So that leaves one of two options:
1) You thought everyone would rank them just as you did, or
2) You're an a-hole

I'd put Something About Airplanes right behind We Have the Facts...and it would be close. The rest looks about right. The Forbidden Love EP could be the best thing that they ever did.


This.

To be fair, I stopped listening after transatlanticism or whatever.

We Have the Facts.. was a pretty big record for me.

Upside down list is upside down. I also think the little "this is the correct list" is what drew the criticism. That's where the assholism lies.

Jesus, are you still bitching about me saying it's the "correct list"??? I was just fricking around...there is no "correct list".

I personally think they matured greatly musically with Trans & then "peaked" with Plans...it's a brilliant record..

I think their earlier stuff is a little more raw and simple. That doesn't necessarily make it bad, I just don't think it's up to par with Trans & Plans.

The only fact is that DCFC is a great band and I'm not gonna try and argue with anyone's list of favs.

You started a thread asking for a list and then started trying to impose your will even before the second page was up. That's bad policy. If anybody sucks here it is you.

Transatlanticism all day err day. We have the facts, narrow stairs, and plans all in a tight race for second.

Plans and Transatlanticism were my high school jams. Postal Service as well. I have The Photo Album, You Can Play These Songs With Chords, and We Have the Facts and Are Voting Yes but could only tell you a couple of songs from each album.

Overall, Plans, Trans, The Photo Album are my top three.
