MrMagpie Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 haha I wanted to, but there wasn't really time for conversation. The organizers were really rushing us....they're all like "make sure your cameras are on and that you're ready to go" type of deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Good review! :) I think we all have our stories about how much we hate promoters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_gloaming09 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 So I bought Transatlanticism a few years ago and didn't really care for it, even though I only listened to the first like 2-3 songs... haha. Anyway I listened to the album, I'll say for the first time (because it was the first time all the way through), and I love it! It's really great! I can now definitely see myself getting into them. What would be the next album you guys recommend me getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Plans! Either that or Narrow Stairs (their newest album), but I like Plans a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I still don't consider myself a big fan or a legit fan...but I do really enjoy Narrow Stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 yeh Narrow Stairs is the one that i found to be accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjames921 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Get Plans. Narrow Stairs is good, but Plans is more consistent (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Exactly. And Plans really shows the true genius of their lyrics- compared to Plans, some of the songs in Narrow Stairs were repetitive and lyrically unoriginal. (I do still love Narrow Stairs, though :nice:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 yeah i totally agree but musically i found Narrow Stairs to be much much better especially the production quality was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberryfields Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 The concert was amazing! I got there early and was able to squeeze myself into the front, in the pit, and it was AWESOME. Ra-Ra Riot as an opening act was fantastic, they were really crowd friendly and seemed happy to be there. Andrew Bird was also brilliant as an opener, and it was his birthday, so we all got to sing to him. Just before DCFC came on, it randomly started to rain, even though the sun was still out, which was so beautiful. Everyone turned around at one point and there was a huge and beautiful rainbow. :wacky: The rain stopped just as the lights on the stage turned on, and there were these strobe flashes and drumming noises, and everyone started to chant for Death Cab. They came on about 5 minutes after that, and went immediately into "Marching Bands of Manhattan". The rest of the concert was awesome, and Ben seemed like he was in a really good mood. The best songs were probably "I'll Follow You Into The Dark" (to be expected, obviously, but it was really beautiful. Everyone got out their lighters and cell phones and sang along, even though about 95% of the crowd was too high to remember the lyrics). "Sound of Settling" was also awesome with everyone singing along to the "bam baaas". The setlist: 1. Marching Bands of Manhattan 2. Your Heart is an Empty Room 3. The New Year 4. We Laugh Indoors 5. Crooked Teeth 6. No Sunlight 7. My Mirror Speaks 8. President of What? 9. Summer Skin 10. Grapevine Fires 11. I Will Possess Your Heart 12. I Will Follow You into the Dark 13. Little Bribes 14. Cath... 15. A Movie Script Ending 16. Soul Meets Body 17. What Sarah Said 18. Long Division 19. The Sound of Settling 20. Transatlanticism I'll be posting pics and videos once they finish uploading! :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
