Black Sheep Hit is not YMMV; this is also a Zero Context Example so I'm not moving it to Trivia.

* SeasonalRot: ''Narrow Stairs'' suffered this criticism from fans when it first came out. It now seems that the fans have now grown to like it.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: ''Transatlanticism'' has very few critics. The title track is a live show staple, and ''always'' performed at the end.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr6mVfl_klE Soul Meets Body]]" is just ''ridiculously'' catchy.
** ''Plans'' in general is a very well-made album.
** ''Narrow Stairs'', while being a great deal darker than their other albums, is very well made with a wonderful EP. Well...let's just say that Death Cab's later work has just been brilliant.

** "I Will Possess Your Heart", a song many take as an anthem to continue pursuing an uninterested love interest, is in reality, just a dark song about a stalker whose affection will likely never be returned. It's possible some ambiguous language used is a commentary on the messages the stalker received from their surrounding culture. This is actually WordOfGod according to [[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=11212 this]].

** The aforementioned "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" is bandied about as ''the'' typical love song, and is thrown around as such by people who come across it randomly. Even in professional works, for example, ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', who used it for an episode title in the brain-tumour-Denny arc, despite the actual existence and knowledge of the afterlife in the show. ''{{Scrubs}}'' averted it by using it as an exit song for an episode about what happens when we die.

*** To be fair, it ''is'' a love song. The problem is that it's kind of like Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet, in that using/describing it as such tends to undersell its depth and nuance.
