In what is arguably their defining album, Death Cab For Cutie present a more laid back feel with Plans than what they offered with Transatlanticism, and while Transatlanticism was a great album from beginning to end in itself, Plans feels much more mature in a sense. It’s always a good thing when a band is able to show its growth in comparison to previous releases, as it can help fans of prior works to find growth in themselves by listening songs that they can continue to relate to, as opposed to dwelling on past experiences and emotions. While a great album can quite possibly stand the test of time, it is with this growth and maturity that allows for longevity.

With the album opening to “Marching Bands of Manhattan,” a ballad professing one’s feelings and how, regardless of capability, when emotions and feelings are so deep for another, one may wish to do impossible things to prove said emotions and feelings. A truly insightful track, while at the same time smooth and melodic for an opening track. The album picks up with “Soul Meets Body” on the very next track, and with it, an obvious pop-hit is at hand. Interesting to point out, the last lines repeated here are “A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere,” and what may have been a hint at things to come, as the album slows down with several soft, melodic tracks that follow. However, Death Cab find a way to switch back and forth with the soft, melodic tracks and the more up-tempo tracks, while maintaining, regardless of style, the insightful and emotional lyrics that are to be expected.

In what is actually a complete album through and through, and not simply a collection of songs that were put together to find airplay on radio programs and late night video shows, Plans, if allowed, has the ability to take the listener on a ride that may at times, depending on the mood, lead to sorrow and sadness, as well as hopefulness and longing for new beginnings. If this release is any sign of Death Cab and how their rise in popularity over the past few years has affected their approach to creating new music, then it seems that fans of the band are in for a long and joyous ride.

Standout Tracks: “Marching Bands of Manhattan,” “Soul Meets Body,” “Your Heart Is An Empty Room,” “What Sarah Said”.
