(Right, well I picked-out “Narrow Stairs” because I really dug their last album “Plans”. This album picks-up we’re Death Cab for Cutie left off w/ “Plans”. It’s pretty mellow and dark… there’s also some great lyrical moments by Mr. Ben Gibbard.)
IRA: Meoew’s e meos ow meeow meoow eow mmeow meows mee! Me meoowy meow meow meow. “Me Mee Meeeeeow Meor Meowt”, meowwlly meo 8 meooow eow 36 meeeoow meeoww. Meow meoking meo-eow! (There’s a tons of great piano and organ riffs too! I totally love that song “I Will Possess Your Heart”, especially the 8 minute and 36 second version. They fucking jam-out!)
Georgia: Meow’s e meow meo. (That’s a good one.)

Meoww’s meow meos meoow meeeeows eo meow meoww: meows, meows meeeeowws, cooooo meow-meeoww coooos. Me’e meo cooo meeetar, meow, cooos meo meoows. (It’s a solid album. Lots more of White on this album, I think he was kinda holding back w/ the last LP “Broken Boy Soldiers”. There’s also tons more other elements in this record: banjos, horns, keyboards, female back-ground vocals. It’s not just guitar, bass, drums and vocals.)
IRA: Meow, meow meowed meo memeeow, meoowwing meeow meoow. (Yeah, they pushed the envelope, expanding their sound.)
Georgia: Meoo, M’e memeoooow cooo memeows. (Well, I’d recommend both albums.)
IRA: Me mee! (Me too!)
More to come!
