I didn’t think I’d like this album this much, but it’s way bueno. This is like what Coldplay’s album X & Y should’ve been like.
Plans is not revolutionary in any way. It’s exactly what one would expect from Death Cab for Cutie, so if you weren’t a fan before you probably won’t be one now, and if you were a fan before then you’ll still be a fan. It’s just great to have new music from them.
Stand out tracks: Brothers on a Hotel Bed (I hit rewind three times on this track my first time through) and I Will Follow You Into the Dark (Acoustic Ben Gibbard is always good). I’m sure I’ll come to love a lot of the other tracks in time. Their first single, Soul Meets Body, is just a little on the cheesy side for me though.
Plans will be released on August 30th.
