I'll put this on every once in a while, and I'll worry it won't be as good as I thought it was, but then I end up listening to it a few times in a row, because it holds up as my favorite album of all time.

The strategy here is: What if all the songs are, at a minimum, excellent?

Honestly, I think Plans is pretty uneven in parts, but at its best, it's some of the most resonant songwriting I've ever heard.

Their newest at the time of this edit, and it's still growing for me, but it's a return to form for sure. It's surprising and dynamic in ways I hadn't thought possible of Death Cab--reminding me a lot of the stylistic experimentation of You Can Plays These Songs with Chords. At the same time, it shows an increasingly mature and existential side of the band that I want to see even more of.

The Death Cab album I've listened to the least--meaning I've only listened to it, like, ten times ever.

The first half is basically as good as any Death Cab album, but then gets real inconsistent after that.
