Customer Reviews of We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes

Death Cab roots
My first exposure to Death Cab was from Plans. Great album. I then moved to Transatlanticism. Another great record. My most recent purchase was this one, We Have The Facts. <

>On the surface, it's obvious this is Death Cab. Their sound is fairly unique. After several listens, though, I've decided that I definitely like their latest two releases much better. <
> <
>This is a good album. Check out Title Track, Lowell MA, and Scientist Studies for more of what you love about Death Cab. I think the reason this release doesn't rate higher, though, is that it just doesn't stick out like their later releases. <

>Many have said that Death Cab has now "sold out". Puh-lease. Just because you sign with a major label, does that imply you have now sold out? I don't buy into that at all. The fact is that Death Cab has matured over the last several years. <

>If you're a Death Cab fan already, by all means, buy this. If you're not and you're looking for an entry point, you'd probably enjoy Transatlanticism or Plans much more. I do enjoy this, but it's better for background music while I'm working than for pure listening enjoyment. I'm still going to end up buying more of their older stuff, though.

I love this album
Alright, granted this doesn't have the flare/character that Plans has, but it is right up there with it in it's own way. This cd has a ton of emotion in it. Though it's slower music...it is very engaging and I actually prefer it over Plans if I'm in a relaxed/tired mood. If you think CDs like Postal Service/Plans are awesome but have a few too many random sounds in them, this CD will also rank high on your list as it is a very lyrical and musical cd (less artifical sounds). All in all...it gets an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Simple, beautiful. Simply beautiful.
I will not pretend to be a music aficionado, and I will try to save everybody from the normal pretentious review that you will normally find on Amazon for bands like Death Cab For Cutie, Arcade Fire, The Shins, etc. I like all of the afforementioned bands, but I'm about as simpleton as simpletons can get when music is involved. But I had to comment on We Have the Facts...I'm a fairly new Death Cab fan, this being the second album I've purchased. And I absolutely love it. My fear is that there are people out there who are musically obtuse that will steer clear of bands like Death Cab, and specifically, albums that don't contain tunes heard on the radio (like Plans). But this is an album that can definitely be enjoyed by the anti-intellectual music fan. Benjamin Gibbard has an amazing voice. His unique, calming voice makes you nearly forget that the songs he sings about are fairly sad and depressing. Normally, I don't listen to lyrics, let alone read them, but on a few of the tunes (For What Reason; Lowell, MA; Company Calls), reading them gave me a very different feeling than when listening to the song and Gibbard's singing. <

>The entire album is very relaxing and I'm sure (as some have mentioned) very intricate. That's something I couldn't tell you. But what I can tell you is that if you are looking for something different than what you hear on the radio, and are interested in non-complicated "indie music," then this album fits the bill.
