I don’t hate Death Cab for Cutie, but I am wholly unimpressed with them. Maybe the fact that they became famous for appearing on the 21st century answer to 90210 makes me a little jaded. I loved the Postal Service album, but that magic just seems absent from the Death Cab work. Maybe I’ve just reached my fill of sad bastard music. I’m slowly working my way up to being happy and well adjusted, so maybe this genre is loosing meaning, or maybe this is the sound of settling. I’m not saying Death Cab doesn’t have some good songs, but they certainly aren’t the second coming of anything, including toned down indie rock. They title would go to The Shins in my book.
