Album Rating: 4.5

Great song that, enjoy this album man, it's a real gem. My favorites are We Laugh Indoors and Styrofoam Plates but I love pretty much everything about this.

so pumped aha. and hopefully I will! I love both Trans and We Have the Facts so I assume I'll love this too

Album Rating: 5.0

This combines the best aspects of those two albums.

Album Rating: 4.5

Ben is so uncharacteristically bitter on this album, I love it.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah. This and Songs About Airplanes both have a lot of bitterness.

Album Rating: 4.5

I also love the imagery in this album's lyrics - at his best, Ben is one of those lyricists who can use a simple, commonplace detail to express a very complicated feeling.

The band are also extremely on point on this album - each song has a unique and extremely evocative feeling to it.

Album Rating: 5.0

Agreed on both points. This is probably instrumentally their strongest album, and lyrically it's up there too.



The only thing that makes me prefer We Have the Facts is its concept, and how effectively it's conveyed as a whole. This album is a bit less unified.

"The only thing that makes me prefer We Have the Facts is its concept, and how effectively it's conveyed as a whole. This album is a bit less unified."

I agree with this statement exactly except about Transatlanticism rather than We Have the Facts. Facts just has never fully clicked with me for some reason.

Album Rating: 5.0

The problem with Transatlanticism for me is that it lacks the raw emotion of the previous albums. It feels more calculated to me, and as a result it's less moving. It is a very consistent and focused album, though.

Album Rating: 4.5

I agree that it is more calculated but I think that actually works to its advantage, in fact I struggle to think of an album with a better flow end to end than that one, the way I hear it everything is pretty much perfectly placed.

On the other hand, in this album every song is well executed on its own, but as a whole it plays more like a series of vignettes than a full story. In a way it sounds like its title - a collection of images thrown together relatively haphazardly.

We Have the Facts to my ears is kind of raw to a fault, it's a great album but it doesn't really gel.

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah this is fantastic so far. love the rawness on here. there's really no song that I dislike. def a 4 and maybe my favorite Death Cab but idk if it beats out We Have the Facts

Album Rating: 4.0

this is their best album.

Incorrect but close

Album Rating: 4.5

Debate Exposes Doubt gives me a feeling like nothing else. Very uneasy, bitter, forlorn, and disappointed. One of their best of all time. Honestly We Laugh indoors is my least favorite here.

Album Rating: 4.0

This is 2nd best.
