Fantastic, the usual high level

I'll start this review with a confession same time: Until less than a month I knew only one song from "Death Cab for Cutie" and the only reason for this was that "Soul Meets Body" during the first season of "How I Met Your Mother "that has been used one time or another. But since I've looked at this exceptional band a closer, it is one of my favorites. It's incredible how DCFC makes each album and (almost) every song so special. For me there was high also hardly anywhere a kink - a lot of fans were not particularly happy with "Narrow Stairs" and "Codes and Keys". For me personally, the latter is added even the best work of the band - then tastes may differ.
In any case, to arrive at "Kintsugi": As usual, also this album just fantastic and the highest standards. It begins with "No Room in Frame", a song that already in the last few weeks up at me and ran down (especially great lyrics by the way). Then we continue with "Black Sun," a slightly permissive song, which is unusually well be assigned to the indie mainstream for DCFC ratios (but is anything but bad), and my favorite piece of "Kintsugi", "The Ghosts of Beverly Drive ".
But even after three songs flattens album from, only after extensive ballad "Little Wanderer" and the sad "You've Haunted Me All My Life" is the first song that (so far) not really appeals to me ("Hold No Guns ") - but who knows, maybe the song yet developed yes.
After the small weakness phase is, however, equally explosive with the rock sound of "Everything's A Ceiling" (wow!) And "Good Help" section, and then before the finale with "El Dorado" again a little "quality breather" to make (meaning: great song, but not gigantic) and the album with two fantastic works called "Ingenue" and "Binary Sea" complete.
Right there's a lot I do not think more to say. DCFC has simply re-released a great album, which although certainly does not reach "plan", "Transatlanticism" or according to my personal taste "Codes & Keys", but I did not expect it. It fits perfectly in the meantime already enormously extensive DCFC Collection. And I hope that this will expand over the next few years still. Because of Ben Gibbard and Co.'s own indie style I'll never get enough.
