I was dieing to do a review of this, but you beat me to it when calling dibs.

That being said...

I think we feel exactly the same way entirely. I really think not much different would've been said had I wrote it.

"Cath" is by far my favorite. The lyrics are Gibbard's best since tracks off Trans, if not earlier. Maybe I'm so partial to it because "Epilogue" is my favorite Death Cab song, and it's essentially Epilogue part deux.

It's funny. Death Cab For Cutie is, by definition, my favorite band. That being said, I never admit this to many people in order to avoid any and all Plans-related conversations. It's the same reason, as much as I'd love to, why I'd never get a Death Cab tattoo. I rather not spend hours justifying "Crooked Teeth" in relation to my inked up arm.

I'm really pleased with this review, and glad you did so well at it!

I'm sure as hell we could probably spend hours chatting it up about Death Cab.
