Reviews Customer Reviews for Narrow Stairs Sold Rating: I've been trying to get some more variety in my music library lately. Being from Washington, I've heard these guys on the radio a lot, so I figured I'd give them a real chance and picked up Narrow Stairs.
My jaw was on the floor the first four songs, and for a few more after that. How have I let Death Cab get by me up until now? Most of the lyrics are well thought out, and Gibbard does a great job setting up an atmosphere with the music.
I thought I was impressed the first time I listened to this album, but it gets better every time. Since getting this, I've gone out and gotten Plans and Transatlanticism, and I'm about to listen to those. My favorites here though have to be: Bixby Canyon Bridge, I Will Possess Your Heart, Grapevine Fires, and Your New Twin Sized Bed.
Customer Reviews for Narrow Stairs Cd This is a fairly good cd Rating: I have to first say that if you are reading this, I have to establish that I'm not a really big fan of Death Cab in the sense that I only have two albums. I picked up Plans, and was really impressed. I figured I'd pick this one up, because I'd heard good things about it, and I had "I Will Possess Your Heart," and I really liked the song.
I was fairly disappointed in the songs on this album. I have come to expect great lyrics from Death Cab, and no doubt that there are songs on this album that show Ben Gibbard's talent for good lyrics. Some of them are just there. Some of them just leave a bad taste in your mouth.
However, I am not recommending that you pass this album up if you are always looking for good music. Some of the songs are really worth having, and if you don't want to buy it, remember to get it burned from a friend.
