YMMV: Death Cab For Cutie
Covered Up : "The Face that Launched 1000 Shits" off of Something About Airplanes is a cover of a Revolutionary Hydra song. Although no recordings exist of the original Hydra song. It was generally only played live.
Crowning Music of Awesome: "Transatlanticism" has very few critics. The title track is a live show staple, and is always performed at the end.
Misaimed Fandom: Arguably, I Will Possess Your Heart, a song that many take as an anthem to continue pursuing an uninterested love interest when, in reality, it's just a dark song about a stalker whose affection will likely never be returned.
More Popular Spin-off: The band originally started as a solo project for Gibbard, who was, at the time, the guitarist for the band Pinwheel.
Ruined FOREVER: "Meet Me on the Equinox", Death Cab's contribution to the New Moon soundtrack. For a while there, a few people were frightened that the song would become a Top 40 pop hit for no other reason than the fact that it was in a Twilight movie. It didn't.
Seasonal Rot: Narrow Stairs suffered this criticism from fans when it first came out. It now seems that the band's fans have now grown to like it.
Starting Fatigue: "I Will Possess Your Heart", which takes four minutes of gradual instrumental build up to get to the first line. That said, it is an epic four minutes.
Weird Al Effect: The bands name was taken from the title of a song by the musical comedy troupe, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
The Woobie: There's a Woobie character in 95% of Death Cab songs.
