Two Perfect Albums

[TheZeroKid]

These 2 indie gems are absolutely flawless in my opinion. So, what will you do?

[Machu505]

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

[MADSTA]

Eh, ITAOTS never really hit me like Transatlanticism did.

[mjr20]

death cab gets too much credit than they deserve

[IceAge/HeatWave]

your father made fetuses with flesh-licking ladies.

[Debut_Fin]

death cab has been my favorite band for 6+ years and i've only been aware of NMH for a little over 2, so death cab wins by default

[SuNDaYSTaR]

death cab gets too much credit than they deserveV3y3QoFnqZc

[jordalsh]

I've never heard Neutral Milk Hotel.. RIYL?

[just.Starla.]

Transatlanticm for sure.

[mjr20]

V3y3QoFnqZc
scrubs also gets way too much attention than deserved

[jay_klinkhammer]

Scrubs and Death Cab both need to die

[Steeeve Perry]

ITAOTS by so, so far. It shits on anything Death Cab has ever done.

[Steeeve Perry]

I've never heard Neutral Milk Hotel.. RIYL?
Low-fi-semi-acousto-indie-fuzz-punk-balladry... with some horns and bagpipes. Also, RIYL semen stained mountain tops.

[Ryzenfall]

I still enjoy a lot of Transatlanticism but never really got into Neutral Milk Hotel and never really tried that hard either.

[Derka Derka]

This poll needs a both option

[murrich]

Holy crap, I can't believe Transatlanticism is winning, it is so bad in comparison to In The Aeroplane Over The Sea.

[bard]

Holy crap, I can't believe Transatlanticism is winning, it is so bad in comparison to In The Aeroplane Over The Sea.
i'd just say that in general.

[spunkmastaflex]

i think i listened to transatlanticism every night before i went to be my freshman year of college, needless to say, i chose Death Cab

[SmokieB.High]

How could anything Jesse Lacey endorses lose a poll on this site... blasphemy I tell you blasphemy

[TheJazzDJ]

Aeroplane.

/thread.

[Say Nothing]

I choose Trans...Although I don't really like Expo 86

[owiseone35]

Oh Comely is one of my favorite songs, so I went with Neutral Milk Hotel. I do enjoy Death Cab but I've never seen them as this awesome, once in a life time band like so many others seem to have. In an Aeroplane is just a masterpiece.

[inthemidst]

Transatlanticism: My favorite "indie-rock" album of all-time.

[Theseventhson]

Aeroplane >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Trans (and yes, I do like both records)

[murrich]

Oh Comely is one of my favorite songs, so I went with Neutral Milk Hotel. I do enjoy Death Cab but I've never seen them as this awesome, once in a life time band like so many others seem to have. In an Aeroplane is just a masterpiece.

Exactly, Death Cab for Cutie are just ok indie music. Neutral Milk Hotel were amazing.

[lesto17]

Definitely Neutral Milk Hotel.

[TheZeroKid]

How could anything Jesse Lacey endorses lose a poll on this site... blasphemy I tell you blasphemy

"Hi, I'm Jesse Lacey, and I'd like to officially announce my endorsement for In The Aeroplane Over The Sea as best album evar(!!!!1!!1!) on AP.net"

Votes for Aeroplane shoot up 1000%

[x13looDx]

Transatlanticism hands down

[Yellowcard2006]

scrubs also gets way too much attention than deserved
You'll understand when you're older.

[abcdefghijake]

Aeroplane.

[abcdefghijake]

death cab has been my favorite band for 6+ years and i've only been aware of NMH for a little over 2, so death cab wins by default

That's your fault.

[Say Nothing]

Scrubs and Death Cab both need to die

If that's the case then so do you

[IceAge/HeatWave]

You'll understand when you're older.

this.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

scrubs also gets way too much attention than deserved

i hatechu.

[Debut_Fin]

That's your fault.

wow. you're so indie.

[Tommy Gun]

I read this poll as "What's better: $10 or $100"

At this point, its simple math In the Aeroplane Over the Sea > Transatlanticism

Though Transatlanticism is great (much like $10), I'd much rather have the $100.

[mjr20]

You'll understand when you're older.
seems like i would have to take a step backwards for that to happen...lets see..looking at your favortie TV shows..ok Demetri Martin very funny; Flight of the Conchords, funny....but Scrubs is a show that I would classify as having "Two and a Half men" jokes (as Family Guy would put it); forced jokes that make it even lamer with the dingy sound effects in the background. I don't like to have to force my laughs at an unfunny show.

[mjr20]

i hatechu.
you have the taste of a classic "adhering to the popular" hipster

Agreed I don't find Scrubs all that funny either man, it really just annoys me. But so back to the poll..............

[IceAge/HeatWave]

you have the taste of a classic "adhering to the popular" hipster

i typed a pronoun and a half made up word in response to your poorly worded opinion, and you somehow have a total grasp on my personality and it's flaws? i bet those sophomore girls think you're soooooo deep.

i'm completely referring to the TV shows you watch, which can tell a lot about you. i don't really talk to sophomore girls.........im a junior.

Well I guess it's not your sense of humor then. Oh well. I love the entire series.

[abcdefghijake]

wow. you're so indie.

You shouldn't even try, considering you're from new jersey.
Also that was me making fun of you for liking a band because you've known them longer.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

you're right. i totally watch scrubs because it'll make me teh coolest. quit being a fool.

[wroteurname]

I never got why there was this divinity assigned to IAOTS for being this super creative masterpiece of songwriting. All the songs sound incredibly sameish to me. I mean I like it just fine, I've never been like OMG ONLY RECORD I NEED FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE though.

[etheritcher]

Aeroplane! I somehow attached my ex boyfriend to transatlanticism in my mind and now it just bums me out. Plus two headed boy is a kick ass song!

[Tristan Needler]

It might be surprising, but I prefer Transatlanticism. It's far from Death Cab's best though, but that's another discussion.

[futilespider]

both excellent. i've had in the aeroplane longer...i know it better, so i gotta go with that one.

not dissing either one though...both great.

[Derka Derka]

Went with In An Aeroplane Over The Sea

Transatlanticism is still one of my favorite albums of all time but In An Aeroplane beats it musically and lyrically by a small margin.

[xjulianx89]

Transatlanticism, easily.

[OtherBen]

cannot believe the results of this poll.

[Ari Christos]

How Death Cab is winning is beyond me. Holy shit. Aeroplane is easily the better of the two.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Transatlanticism would be one of my all-time favorites.

[mike'smannequin]

stupid comment of the year

[rerelease_]

this

i mean, what the hell at the results

[x1onexwo1fx]

to people who are surprised by the results...

how many people on here do you think haven't even listened to ITAOTS?

[VIVALAMATT]

The way I see it,

DCFC is a better band than NMH, Transatlanticism is DCFC's best work. So therefore...

[eags2]

in aeroplane definitely

[Kapa73]

I never got why there was this divinity assigned to IAOTS for being this super creative masterpiece of songwriting. All the songs sound incredibly sameish to me. I mean I like it just fine, I've never been like OMG ONLY RECORD I NEED FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE though.

yea

[fightinirish217]

Death Cab

[wroteurname]

yea

I've been waiting for someone to quote this message in agreement, thank you sir.

[Kapa73]

I've been waiting for someone to quote this message in agreement, thank you sir.

no problem. I always kind of wondered if the buzz around that album was all superficial. Like, one person heard it and said to themselves "shit, if I say I don't get it people will think I'm dumb.." and then BOOM, domino effect of everyone else championing it for the same reason.

Totally not the reality of it, but I think it'd be funny if that ever was the case.

it's probably just because jesse lacey and co. started speaking out about it.

[Deadbolt01]

I never could get into Death Cab. Aeroplane is great.

[justlikehoney]

Better album: In the Aeroplane over the Sea
Better song: Transatlanticism

[Esrb99]

Better album: In the Aeroplane over the Sea
Better song: Transatlanticism


oh comely.

[tommyishere]

never heard of the other band
but DCFC is amazing all in its own and Trans is my favorite by them so...winner winner

[DaGaR]

this isn't even a competition. in the aeroplane over the sea is my favorite album.

i'm not really surprised death cab is winning, but the margins by which they're winning is a little unexpected.

[yellowhouse]

Low-fi-semi-acousto-indie-fuzz-punk-balladry... with some horns and bagpipes. Also, RIYL semen stained mountain tops.

Haha

[yourprivateeye]

in the aero for sureeee.

listening to it on vinyl is like heaven.
i used to fall asleep to side b for days and days straight.

[HometownHero]

Death Cab.

[billyboatkid]

Death Cab.

[Boneman]

tough one. NHH = better lyrics, DCFC = very good all the same

[sammy142]

Aeroplane answered every question I've ever had about life.

[neverenoughhaha]

transatlanticism, no contest

[Formatfun]

Aeroplane.

I will never love an album quite like I love ItAOtS. It's so special. It's perfect.

[Steeeve Perry]

in the aero for sureeee.

I haven't slept for days. That would be too long.

Very well put.

Totally, people only listen to it because they first listened to Brand New. And then after a while they completely denounce Brand New and other likeminded artists. It's a paradox.

This! :bowdown:

[red8ge]

Aeroplane by fucking miles. Death Cab is child's play compared to NMH
