lol haha no problems on the thumbs down man. and yeah dcfc, and plans, and all their other albums rock! wish other bands could be as lyrically insightful as well as melodically aware as these guys.
i saw them on july 5th at the bowl and theyve definitely come a long way. ben is way skinnier and he has perfected his singing voice for live performances.
this is an incredibly tight live performance, looks like they've just finished plans when they did htis. i saw them live and they didn't play it as tight as they did here. jason's drumming is especially sick here
not that this isnt a great performance, but i saw them live this spring and they just seemed much more intact and sounded fuller than they do here. i guess that's come with so much more experience performing..?
@SaraStorm1 hey at least you know someone who knows Death Cab for Cutie, whenever I mention them to someone the say "what hell are you talking about." Man no one at my school listens to good music, NO ONE!
just playing devils advocate yeah being slimmer could affect voice. better shape means he might have better cardio better air movement and breathing could make for better singing. just a thought
I gave you the thumbs down...totally on accident. I'll try to check back later and give you like two thumbs up, sorry! Mis-click. Anyways, you're totally right...I bet they must have just finished recording. I remember seeing them live twice and it never sounded this tight...good, but not as pro as this. This was their big press tour, too...so they probably made a conscious effort to play it perfect so people would want their album. Which is freaking amazing, btw.
he is just better on his higher-pitched songs. look up cath or even long division for a good live sample. plus he has just gotten better over the last few years live
You know, I'm from washington, bellingham where these guys are from, I've watched them become bigger than ever, and I still can't get into them... Its just seems kinda Too much YES influenced and cliche lyrics. Not too mention, most of there songs are loves songs and are all pretty formulated..
