CRITIC REVIEWS
Ever since I’ve first listened to it, I’ve seen Transatlanticism as an album that is extremely endearing, heartwarming, and in a sense it’s the best captured image of Ben really letting his boyish voice flourish in the way it was meant to. This album is beautiful, and it’s my ideal record for heading into the fall soon enough.

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!

I need you so much closer...
I broke down and cried uncontrollably in my car when the title track came on shuffle today.

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.
