They've gone down hill

Goldlion, while i probably don't agree with your opinion... it would be interesting to see why you think the wqy you do... some elaboration on that point, maybe?

To me, their music is just not as great as it use to be.

They're new album was very successful and got more listeners then their previous albums.. Probably because it has a more poppy/mainstream feel?

I don't like that. and I'm sure a lot of their old listeners didn't either.

but hey kudos to them! they're doing great /\/\

I will always enjoy them, even if their sound isn't quite what it used to be. I'm so bummed their Nashville date sold out so quickly!

Narrow Stairs didn't have the appeal that Plans had. They still make great music, its just that there is an over saturation of bands that are just trying to mimic the California-based song lyrics about relationships and whatever else life throws out at you before your 25th birthday, that it their music just doesn't sound so groundbreaking because several are making music nearly identical to DCFC. They did it very well a few years back, they still do it well today, it's just a little bit different now.

Still haven't had the opportunity to hear the new one, but honestly all these people who are saying "not as good as Plans" should be making their comparisons with something like Transatlanticism or the Photo album... I think Plans was great but those two albums are where its at as far as I am concerrned with all things Death Cab...

Hey guys, Death Cab for Cutie released a new EP pretty recently.
It is called The Open Door EP. I thought it was pretty good and think you should give it a listen if you are a Death Cab fan.
Here is my favorite song from the new EP. It is called Little Bribes.

Gotta get that... hey I don't understand all the complaints about Narrow Stairs.... I think its light years better than Plans, which was MORE poppy than Narrow Stairs... I find it engaging, full of the longing and yearning and broken hearted messiness that made Transatlanticism great...

plans was a masterpiece. transatlantacism was close. the photo album was damn good and narrow stairs was still pretty good . the new EP was ok overall. i don't understand the complaints about narrow stairs, looking at death cab from an indie perspective, I guess I can understand but both narrow stairs and plans were released by Atlantic which means they aren't indie! they are a bit more mainstream now, but w/e! they haven't gone coldplay on us!

never congratulate a band for becoming more mainstream.

I'm starting to become a fan after hearing Narrow Stairs, I just got Plans and have to say I think its better than Narrow Stairs.
