so the new death cab album got leaked -- it's officially coming out May 13th. I was hoping more for a new Postal Service album, but alas this came
. But that's okay since I still like death cab (no matter how "gay" it is).
The new single, "I will Possess Your Heart" is a whopping 8 minutes long...I certainly wasn't expecting that, though Transatlanticism was also nearly 8 minutes. The first four minutes or so of the song are pretty much a waste... it's an alright bass line but it's almost bore the hell out of me. Thankfully, the song picks up again after that and is pretty good otherwise.
I haven't really finished listening to it yet (doing so now) but from what I've heard, Cath..., Long Division and Pity and Fear are the standout tracks on this album.
While I like their older style more, I like the new direction they're going in and the way they're trying not to recycle the same old material over again.
Actually I just finished listening to it once through, i'll need to listen to it more to form a stronger opinion, but other than a few standout tracks this album is kind of a dissapointment!
