Death Cab For Cutie-Transatlanticism (2003) Death Cab's signature style of delicate, melancholy indie pop reaches a new level of clarity here, doing away with the dense, sloppy production of Something About Airplanes, and the fuzzy, folk-influenced quality of We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes. Gibbard's voice is still airy as ever, this time set over suprisingly lush melodies, but what's really shocking is the 3 rockers on the album, which happen to make up more up more than half the top 5 tracks (Transatlanticism, A Lack Of Color, New Year, Sound Of Settling, We Looked Like Giants). But tGibbard show's he's still at his best composing wispy, yet powerful ballads, as shown with the epic title track, which starts off ordinarily, then slowly builds, only to come back down right on the verge of becoming overblown.

The Beatles-Revolver (1966) One of the most influential albums of all time, what in my mind is the Beatle's first truly great release still holds up today as an excellently produced and executed disc. With everything from heartstring-tugging breakup songs(For No One) to psychedelic masterpieces(Tomorrow Never Knows), Revolver is intensely entertaining, covering almost every popular msuical form around at the time, even creating new one's. So why isn't it ranked higher? I mean, look, it has my favorite Beatles song, and possibly the single most influential song of all time. To be frank, Doctor Robert and Yellow Submarine just plain ruin it for me. Musical Content: **** Artistic Content: ***** Impact: ***** Favorite Song: For No One |

Death Cab For Cutie-Something About Airplanes (1998) A bit of an accidental masterpiece, Something About Airplanes dense, murky production pefectly compliments Death Cab's wistful, string-filled pop songs. The only flaw's on this brilliant debut album is that the muddled production makes the songs sound the same upon first listen, denying them the catchyness of Death Cab's later work's, and that it makes you sad that DCFC moved away from the dense, string-laden sound that dominates this recording. Standout's are Your Bruise, Bend To Squares, President Of What, and Picture In An Exhibition.

The Beatles-The Beatles(White Album) (1966) A suprisingly consistent double album, chock full of incredibly creative and ground-breaking material. Nothing much left to say about the album as a whole, but Blackbird is the prettiest song ever. Other standouts include WMGGW, Julia, Helter Skelter(Kick-started what would become Metal), and Honey Pie.
