Rating: - Death Cab roots
My first exposure to Death Cab was from Plans. Great album. I then moved to Transatlanticism. Another great record. My most recent purchase was this one, We Have The Facts.

On the surface, it's obvious this is Death Cab. Their sound is fairly unique. After several listens, though, I've decided that I definitely like their latest two releases much better.

This is a good album. Check out Title Track, Lowell MA, and Scientist Studies for more of what you love about Death Cab. I think the reason this release doesn't rate higher, though, is that it just doesn't stick out like their later releases.

Many have said that Death Cab has now "sold out". Puh ... Read More

Rating: - I love this album
Alright, granted this doesn't have the flare/character that Plans has, but it is right up there with it in it's own way. This cd has a ton of emotion in it. Though it's slower music...it is very engaging and I actually prefer it over Plans if I'm in a relaxed/tired mood. If you think CDs like Postal Service/Plans are awesome but have a few too many random sounds in them, this CD will also rank high on your list as it is a very lyrical and musical cd (less artifical sounds). All in all...it gets an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Rating: - Simple, beautiful. Simply beautiful.
I will not pretend to be a music aficionado, and I will try to save everybody from the normal pretentious review that you will normally find on Amazon for bands like Death Cab For Cutie, Arcade Fire, The Shins, etc. I like all of the afforementioned bands, but I'm about as simpleton as simpletons can get when music is involved. But I had to comment on We Have the Facts...I'm a fairly new Death Cab fan, this being the second album I've purchased. And I absolutely love it. My fear is that there are people out there who are musically obtuse that will steer clear of bands like Death Cab, and specifically, albums that don't contain tunes heard on the radio (like Plans). But this is an album that ... Read More

Rating: - A Classic Death Cab Album
Death Cab For Cutie's follow up to their 1999 debut Something About Airplanes continues to build on their ethereal, atmospheric, unique, indie pop-rock sound. We Have The Facts is a more experimental, dynamic, rock album that still retains the previous album's sentimentality. This is the album that transformed them into experimental indie rockers, but didn't launch them into the mainstream. This is a pure work of art, technically the band uses the chords in a very abstract and sparse way, the percussion is slow, and contemplating. Some songs break out of that pattern and demonstrate a more full bodied, but not yet developed sound. Most of the album relies on the musical production. Ben Gibbard's ... Read More

Rating: - I am a bit dissapointed.
ERm, I'm not under thirteen I just don't feel like creating an acount, seemed deep. Anyways, when I turned it on, i heard some slow stuff. So I thought maybe it was a slump, so I turned it to the next, then the next, all slow! I'm the type of person who like the 'lets revolt against authotiry and scream about how pissed we are' type person. I mean, this stuff is good if you like quiet. Good lyrics, /really/ good, but also quite slow. I want my money back though.... =/
