Customer Rating:      Summary: I agree; perfection...almost Comment: Had Transatlanticism never been released I think this album would have been rated four and a half stars. Transatlanticism was so stellar that it would have been impossible to top on the follow-up record. This is a lush and beautiful album. Nothing more really needs to be said.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Perfection Comment: This album is the best indie album i have every heard , the entire thing is captivating and very moving , at first i hated soul meets body but i bought this album on a whim and i love it , its one of my favorites. give this a try , take a few listens and then judge.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best album I've heard in years Comment: This album has made me an enthusiastic new fan of Death Cab for Cutie. I like the mix of ballads and higher-speed tunes (even though I do wish the radio DJs would please stop playing "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" ad nauseum... clearly they failed to learn from "Under the Bridge" in the 90s how overplaying can turn a perfectly good tune into a worn-out, trite cliche that makes you switch the station). The lyrics are excellent and the melodies mesmerizing. Also, I love how there isn't one bad track on the album. This is on CD I continually play through rom start to finish, then start over and play it again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Takes me on a journey Comment: This is an excellent album by some very talented musicians. I remember hearing the "Body Meets Soul" on Austin radio in late summer '05. They performed at Austin City Limits Festival that year. I had no idea they have been around since 1998. DCFC write great lyrics. Their music is etheral. "Soul Meets Body" and "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" take me on a journey. Few bands can compare to them. They have a long career ahead of them. If you like Coldplay, Travis or Keane, then this band is for you. I look forward to their new album, Narrow Stairs, in May '08. Buy this album! You will not regret it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Love It! Comment: For those who like Postal Service, you will like this CD. Probably becuase it is the same singer. Still, you will like either way. The jewel for me on this CD is "Into The Dark". The opening lyric is "Love of my/Someday you will die..." Sounds kind of dark and sad but it is truly a beautiful song. Makes me cry just listening to it. My husband sung this to me on our wedding day. It was perfect!

When an indie-rock band as intimately and fiercely loved as Death Cab for Cutie makes the inevitable major-label jump, it often telegraphs a painful death. Witness Husker Du, the Replacements, Nirvana--hell, even R.E.M. After a successful four-album run on tiny Seattle imprint Barsuk, however, Death Cab for Cutie just might buck the trend on its Atlantic premiere. Yes, you can grumble about the production (a little too slick), the proportion of ballads (a little too many) and the overall feeling of restraint (a little too much), but ultimately the album delivers everything the group does best in emotional, experimental songs such as "What Sarah Said" and "I Will Follow You into the Dark," which both blend stark lyrical details with acoustic guitars and soft-focus electronics. In "Soul Meets Body," meanwhile, songwriter Ben Gibbard has come up with the kind of blissful, beatific pop song that's capable of disarming even the harshest skeptic. "A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere," he sings. --Aidin Vaziri Catching up with Death Cab for Cutie  Something About Airplanes |  We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes |  Forbidden Love [EP] |  The Photo Album |  You Can Play These Songs with Chords |  Transatlanticism |
