just read your death cab interview. did you review their newest album? i'd be interested in hearing your take on their progression from the last album. at first i didn't like the latest effort but now...

oh, how'd you find me?

I'm not sure how I found you...I think through a comment on Matt & Jacinda's blog?

I haven't officially reviewed the new album, but I do like it a lot. I'm not sure if it's better than Transatlanticism, though. I love "Different Names for the Same Thing" and "Crooked Teeth" a whole lot!
