Death Cab for Cutie is extremely,
extremely
overrated. Srsly, their best songs are the sort that get in your head once every six months, perhaps, when you're feeling real thoughtful and passive. Their songs are either killer (and by killer, I mean average killer, not anything particularly awesome) e.g. transatlanticism, sound of settling, song for summer, or filler -- by which I mean really, really standard.
They're not a bad band, not at all, just not worthy of all the praise they've attained, imho.
