Plans - Death Cab For Cutie

After listening to quite a few tracks from thier old albums (Transatlanticism and Photo Album) I was expecting great things from Death Cab for Cuties latest album; "Plans" First of all, don't be put off by the name!

I just had to buy this album! Their lyrics are of love, laughter, pain and sorrow, in a wide mix of ways. Lines such as "Love is watching someone die. Who's gonna watch you die?" from What Sarah Said, "I stare at my shoes in the ICU" and from Soul Meets Body "in my head ...

With 11 tracks, and with such a range of emotions, I guarantee you will find a lyric that will stick in your mind. The eleven tracks are titled: 1. Marching Bands of Manhattan 2. Soul Meets Body 3.
