Reviews
Rated 9/10
Crying in the indie coffeeshop once more like a good 2003 emo kid should do
Rated 6/10
Indie pop that is a dead ringer for Owl City. Nothing to get too excited about. Lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie started this band in collaboration with Jimmy Tamborello.
Favourite songs: Sleeping In, Such Great Heights, We Will Become Silhouettes
Least favourite songs: Nothing Better, This Place Is a Prison
3/5
Rated 10/10
Wait, why isn't the greatest album ever on the base list? I could have sworn it was
Rated 8/10
This is good and I'll listen to it again.
Both of my daughters, independently and on different days, asked if it was a new Owl City album.
Rated 10/10
Another classic from the aughts. Such Great Heights gets most of the fame but honestly this entire album slaps. It's pretty crazy that Ben Gibbard released this AND Transatlanticism in 2003. He was really on a hot one back then.
Rated 2/10
Never start a sentence with "I."
Rated 2/10
As one of my former coworkers used to say "Tomm'd up kid singing about being tomm'd up about some dumb shit." This sucked.
Rated 10/10
An idealism that struggles to survive in the harsh realities of this world--realities devoid of love and responsibility. Both the softly-delivered lyrics and the indietronic music contain this bittersweet idealism. Whenever I listen to this album, I just smile faintly, my heart simultaneously lifted and sunk by the hopeless fight.
Faded Paper Figures released their first album five years after this was released. This has to be the inspiration for that band's sound. I mean, the band's even got two dudes and a chick.
Rated 8/10
I was about to be very annoyed about these 00s indie singer guys all sounding the fucking same, but then I looked it up and it is literally the actual Death Cab guy. Forgiven.
I'm liking way more than Death Cab, it's got good beeps & boops
Rated 8/10
I could have sworn this was on the list!
Rated 6/10
Yeah enjoyed this, not a massive Death Cab for a Cutie fan, so the vocals are not my favourite, but this is enjoyable enough I think it deserves to be on the list.
Rated 6/10
Even though I'm not especially enthusiastic about this album, I'd say it deserves a place on the list. It was an undeniable part of the indie landscape of the early 2000s.
