Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs


It seem's misery love company. And Death Cab For Cutie want you to be their company on their new record 'Narrow Stairs'. This is an epic album with riff's, catchy chorus' and O so much more. Death Cab For Cutie have always been critcally aclaimmed but they had their nay sayer's. This album it seem's will prove the nay sayer's wrong. This album is more experimental and well put together than any other one of their albums. Lyrically this album is dark. One of the albums central themes is lonliness, that alone gives the indication that this album is dark. Will this be one of the best album's of they year? No, put so far it's in my top 10.

Rating: Lyrics: 38/40 (Dark...)

Tunefulness: 44/50 (Some of the more experimental moments don't really work..but it is very good)

Originality: 7/10 (We've seen it before...but they just do it better)

Overall: 89/100 (A wonderful gem of an album)
