I really like this. If this is the direction the whole album takes--a little darker, jammy, and psychedelic (you know, as psych as Death Cab will get)--then I'm gonna like this new record a whole lot more than Plans.

Plans was sorta a bummer for me.

I feel the same way Megan. I'm amazed at this new direction. Plans never really did it for me. In fact, my attention started to fade around the release of Transatlanticism. I kinda get those two last albums mixed up sometimes.

That song sounds like a remix waiting to happen.

I like it when their songs are groovy!

Jason McGerr is a REAL good drummer.

What's up with the refrain/title of the song though? "I will posses your heart"? wtf?

Haven't heard the tune but the title is offensively cliched DCFC, and it alone is entirely enough to allow me to ignore the track fully.

Hell yeah I'm a snob!

I dig it. I'm a real sucker for a strong bassline and this is a strong track. The lyrics are surprising considering who they're coming from. Did Ben Gibbard start going to assertiveness training?
