- Simply Ground Breaking.
Death Cab for Cutie still amaze me, even today's bands fail to even compare to the careful hounest lyrics of Ben Gibbard.
This Album will blow you away from start to finish. My stand out track on this Album has to be "Your Heart is an Empty Room",belive me it'll tug at your emotions and make you think about your life.

- Superb 5th album from Death Cab!
I've had this album for a while now, and it's grown to be one that I value a lot. I was a big fan of Transatlanticism, but I feel that Plans is a much more focused and coherent work, and flows better as an album.

Lyrically, Ben Gibbard touches upon the perils and joys of relationships, his thoughts on growing older, and mortality amongst other things. I feel that a reviewer a couple of reviews below has not given Ben enough credit when he points out a grammatical error in his lyrics. Ben Gibbard writes about deeply personal issues, and the "on accident" lyric from Brothers on a Hotel Bed may well be a personal fault in someone close to him, almost an homage to fallability. Make no mistake, Mr Gibbard is a major factor in this review. ... Read More:

- Death, no, fantastic!!
When I first heard their name, I thought DCFC would be some kind of hard/emo-core band. I've never been so wrong. Plans is, quite simply, very chilled and even more beautiful! There is a certain meaning and almost urgency to the lyrics and style of the album, the songs are beautiful without being gentle or quiet or even particularly slow. It's a fantastic album and one I am very glad I bought, to be honest, I think most people would feel the same!

- Pretty ok.
Don't get me wrong. I like Death Cab. 'Transatlanticism' is one of my favourite albums of all time, and for the most part I enjoy 'Plans'. The opener ('Marching Bands Of Manhattan') is sublime, and there are melodies and harmonies on here that send shivers down my spine. The effect of the music is, in places, almost profound.

However, I don't agree with the assertions, both here and elsewhere, that Ben Gibbard is some kind of lyrical genius. His lyrics are simple for the most part, and generally serve their purpose well. They paint simple stories and weave their way around the melodies perfectly. But they are little more than that.

The one moment that really ruins this generally great album, though, comes in the otherwise ... Read More:

- Exceptional, better than I ever epected.
Having only a collection of Death Cab songs downloaded from several different albums, I had no idea what an absolute treat "Plans" was going to be when I purchased it. It is simply wonderful. The sound on "Plans" is fuller, more thoughtful and clever than other Death Cab songs, the standard of lyrics remains at its pure brilliance as I had come to expect.

The structure of Plans as a record is genius. From the more vibrant opening to the somber ending, Plans take you on a journey. The fantastic opener of "Marching Bands in Manhattan" is beyond belief only bettered by its lead into "Soul Meets Body" a song worthy of REM. As the album moves on we get the atmospheric "Different names for the same things" with an intro reminiscent of The Killers, ... Read More:
