Product Description

From Amazon.com

Death Cab for Cutie turn difficult personal issues into literary rock songs while straddling the narrow line between blissful pop and driving indie rock. The Northwest act's songs soar high like Built to Spill's or Beulah's, and almost every track on The Photo Album is as musically bouncy and upbeat as the best of those bands. As catchy as the songs on The Photo Album may be, though, it's really front man Benjamin Gibbard's comfort with laying his emotional issues bare that makes this an excellent album. "Styrofoam Plates" is the most stunning track, with words that leave chills long after they've disappeared. As Gibbard sings about anger for a dead father ("It's not quite a stretch to say you were not quite a father / But a donor of seeds to a poor single mother / That would raise us alone / We never saw the money / It went down your throat down the hole in your belly"), his stark honesty makes this dysfunctional family story the most compelling piece of this album. The other issues of clumsy relationships pale a little in comparison, but The Photo Album still leaves little doubt that Death Cab deserve all the indie rock accolades they have received. --Jennifer Maerz

4.0 out of 5 stars 写真アルバム?, 2005/11/23
By sox "minel" (千葉県) - See all my reviews
 シアトルはべリンガム出身の泣きメロバンドの3rd album。
 地元シアトルのインディーレーベル、barsuk recordsからの21枚目のリリース。

 今作からdrとしてmichael schorrが参加。何か今までとグルーヴが全然違う〜。
 切ないメロディながらノリが良い。16ビートが多いモンなぁ。ピアノが入っている曲が多いのも嬉しい。

 彼等は決して目新しいことはしない。だからこのアルバムを初めて聞いた時、「あぁ、またこれか」なんて思ってしまった。でもやっぱり違うんだな。
 ずーっと聞いててだんだん引き込まれていく甘いメロディ、心地良いグルーヴ。
 心に染み入るギターの音色。本当シンプルで耳馴染みが良い。派手なギターソロなんてなくて良いって思うね。

 後半からは感動の畳みかけ。もぉ全曲ラス曲に持ってきて良い位の泣きメロソング特集です。お気に入りはm-1,2,5,6,8,9。
 スリーブのデザインは前みたいのの方がえがったなぁ。

5.0 out of 5 stars 躍動感のあるデスキャブ・サウンド, 2007/10/10
By 秋の精霊 - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
今作からドラムスが変わったこともありデスキャブ至上、もっともバンドっぽいアルバムだったりします。もちろんベンとクリスの黄金コンビは健在なわけですが、一方でリズム隊がビートを刻みまくってます。かなりエモコアっぽいなっていう曲もあったり、デスキャブの意外な一面が見えてくる。

メロディはもちろん今までのようにデスキャブ印のメランコリックで美しいギター二本から生まれてくるものですが、リズム隊に影響されたのかリフで作ったようなものもあり、なかなか驚きました。プランズの印象で聞くと、かなり違って聞こえます。元々はエモに属していたデスキャブのバンドサウンドが垣間見える一枚。

4.0 out of 5 stars もう少し, 2005/6/14
By A Customer
友人に薦められて初めて買ったデスキャブのCDです。
かなりツボなメロディラインと、乾いたギターの音色、そしてメランコリック(自分はそう感じた)な楽曲群がかなりの秀作なアルバムです。
ただ1つ、自分にはアルバム全体を通して感情の起伏が足りない気がしました少し淡々としてるかな?4作目がすごい良かったので星4つです。
