A definite finalist for worst band name ever, Death Cab For Cutie (which was a song from Magical Mystery Tour) more than makes up for it with their music. Especially on their fourth album, Transatlanticism, which has as its main theme long distance love. Painist and singer Ben Gibbard is the main man in this group, with a mellow voice and excellent songwriting skills. This album marked the commercial breakthrough for the band, and led to them signing with a major label (Atlantic). They have released five albums since, but Transatlanticism remains their best and most consistent work. Many of the songs are slower, and feature more mature lyrics from Gibbard. Also, the album was helped out by having three tracks in the TV series The O.C., on which the band also appeared.
“The New Year” was the lead single, and is excellent. “Title And Registration” and “The Sound Of Settling” were also singles, and the title track and “A Lack Of Color” are also standouts. The album has received almost unanimous critical acclaim, and for good reason. This is a fine set of songs that deal with the subjects of longing and loneliness and hope very well. The band has just the right sound to pull it off, and almost everything here clicks. A couple of the songs are a bit lesser, but overall, this is a satisfying, mature work by a band that became, with this release, one of the leading lights of indie rock. Of all of the Death Cab albums, this is the one you’ll want…as well as Gibbard’s collaboration with Jimmy Tamborello in The Postal Service, who’s one album Give Up was also released in 2003.

2. Life Is Hard
3. My Wife’s Home Town
4. If You Ever Go To Houston
5. Forgetful Heart
6. Jolene
7. This Dream Of You
8. Shake Shake Mama
9. I Feel A Change Comin’ On
10. It’s All Good
Who says 68 is too old for a number one album? Together Through Life is Bob Dylan’s 33rd studio album, and it’s filled with nice surprises. For the first time since his 1976 album Desire, Dylan works with a co-lyricist in Robert Hunter, who is best known for his work with the Grateful Dead. He utilizes Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on guitar, along with David Hidalgo from Los Lobos, who adds some really beautiful accordion playing. Dylan’s voice is deep and rusty and he sounds like he knows things you will never imagine…which he probably does. Also included is a reworked Willie Dixon song (“My Wife’s Home Town”), and some terrific sounding blues numbers. The band itself makes this worth hearing.
Of course, Dylan has long ago run out of hit songs, and you won’t find one here. It’s okay…I doubt he was really looking for that. Dylan as a producer (Jack Frost is one of his pseudonyms) works very nicely. “Beyond Here Lies Nothin’” is a fine opener and sets the pace, while tracks like “I Feel A Change Comin’ On” showcases Campbell and Hidalgo intertwining guitar and accordion. This album did debut at number one on the charts not just in America, but also in Britain. For good reason. This may not be the Dylan of the sixties and seventies, but it’s proof that you don’t sleep on this guy. Together Through Life is not perfect, but that’s also part of its charm. It’s a fine record by maybe the greatest songwriter of his generation, and we could all stand to take a listen and maybe learn something from one of the true masters.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
