Reviews Customer Reviews for You Can Play These Songs With Chords Well worth a listen, or two, or three Rating: Most of the tracks on this offering are lo-fi and just full of washed-out, Pacific Northwest, dreary-day angst. This sound is distinctive from the brighter, fuller sound on their more recent releases. The last 10 tracks are bonus (compiled from various releases), including a Smiths cover, a glitzy-pop dance song, a sample-heavy track with a hint of hip hop rhythms, and a lovely closer.
I've come to regard this album as one of my favorites. It is an intensely honest, brazenly youthful, at times lonesome, and ultimately accomplished and varied gathering of tracks. A strong sense of time and place (geographical references abound), a personal remoteness balanced with sense of warmth, and a love of city and home run throughout. It takes such a long time to absorb and to get to know the album that by the time you do, you can't help but have a strong affection for it.
Customer Reviews for You Can Play These Songs With Chords Cd DCFC really does have something for everybody. Rating: This album takes you on a ride just as the other dcfc albums do...you are mesmerised from track 1 until the end. my personal favorites are "president of what", "champagne from a paper cup", "pictures in an exhibition", and "amputations" (although i like the "something about airplanes" versions of these songs more). But, to speak of favorite songs with this band is irrelevant for most true fans because every song is enjoyable in one way or another. I haven't heard one that I don't like.
