Music reviews of Transatlanticism

Music Review: This is just okay.. Only for sappy teen girls
Rating: 2 Stars

**i'm a 32 yr old guy who used to listen to Stone Roses, Lush, Smiths, REM, etc. and i was thinking this might be like some of that stuff.. it wasn't..
**Lightness, title and registration and We Looked Like Giants are the only decent songs on this CD.. and Giants is screwed up at the end with that dumb static thing that they did on it.. Lightness is the best song by far- it gives me chills listening to it.. very very good.. but again, it's a short song so as much as you like it it only last 2 mins..
**I don't know how anyone could give this CD 4 or 5 stars.. it is honestly depressing.. Transatlanticism, the song, has some good points to it but it is overwhelmingly sappy and slow.
This band is loaded i'm sure.. i'd be curious if there earlier stuff wasn't so sappy and slow.. this is just weak when you look at the whole CD.. it doesn't grow on you either..
**Try Arcade Fire.. Funeral.. that is so-so when you first listen to it but it is ***amazing**** and unique after you listen to it after a month on and off.. i blast it in the garage when i'm doing work around the house.. leave Death Cab for middle school girls who just broke up with their boyfriends

Description of Transatlanticism

With songs equal to those on We Have the Facts and a lush, brilliant production that continues what The Photo Album started, Transatlanticism is easily Death Cab's best record to date. Much attention has duly been focused on doe-eyed singer/lyricist Ben Gibbard, co-star of the Postal Service phenomenon, and Ben's voice is as strange, beautiful, and as strong as ever on these songs, which deal with the difficulties of long-distance relationships. But guitarist/producer Chris Walla once again proves himself to be the band's secret weapon, layering subtle sonic touches throughout Transatlanticism, which is most definitely a "headphone record." This Seattle quartet is one of the only bands to really have picked up the intelligent, emotionally resonant, and guitar-driven indie-pop torch that Built to Spill briefly lit in the mid-1990s (before themselves heading off to the stoner-rock territory). DCFC themselves seem poised to finally break out to a wider audience, and they truly deserve it with this disc. --Mike McGonigal
