Wonderful album. Great songwriting and craft. Lyrically on the moody side with some (very poetic) violent images, but setting a positive example. I recommend this for kids and teens who like alternative and want something different out of modern music.

This album is beautiful, and unlike anything else out there. So many bands these days all sound the same. This is an absolutley amazing album.

Death Cab For Cutie is a band that anyone can listen and relate to. It always perks me up and gets me going. Ben Gibbards tenor voice is sweet and melodic. The springy guitars and bouncy rythmic phrases make DCFC my favorite band along with bright eyes, the postal service, Panic! at the disco, and the early november

Death Cab for Cutie; don't let the name fool you. This isn't another angry band, or another angry rapper. Their music is really just poetry put to tastefully made music. There is no mention of drug use or alcohol in their songs. Most of their songs are about young love, music itself, and everyday life. The lyrics are good, and unoffensive. The only exception to this would be in their song "Styrofoam Plates" where the song is talking about a father who abandons his wife and kids. The songs ending lines consisting of the words "he was a b***ard in life, thus a b***ard in death". All in all, a good band for any age and enjoyable by just about anyone who likes music.
