now deathcab is a sad sad story. a band with so much talent and vision (despite the fact that vision was to become an indie beatles...) something about planes was such a good album... dark, slow, twisted, ethereal, and chock full of reverb and air. my theory is that somebody mislabeled them an emo band one too many times and gibbards fragile yet bloated head cracked and transatlanticism spewed from the graphic sappy mess.
but that's just a theory i could be wrong.
