Oh shit oh fuck I'm dead for this one
This isn't a bad album, despite this rating. I just really don't enjoy listening to it. I think the main issue I have comes from Ben's voice - he's one of the few vocalists I really can't stand, which has caused me to struggle to enjoy both Death Cab and The Postal Service. This isn't a bad album. In fact, I recommend it if you don't mind the vocals and just want a fun indie rock album. But yeah, this really isn't for me.

It's beautifully written and Ben Gibbard's introspective lyrics are a high point. The instrumentation and melodies are gorgeous as well! Overall, "Transatlanticism" is their best record yet!

First off, as a writer alone, I think it’s important to appreciate Ben Gibbard and his ability to pen some brutally honest songs that almost mock themselves. This album dwells a lot on the feelings of pretending, or hoping for the best.

I've always loved this album but after listening to it again after like a two year break, it's even more special than I gave it credit for.
