I gave serious thought to all since Transatlanticism. Ended up giving it to that one, but Narrow Stairs gave me something to think about. I've never been crazy about pre-trans DCFC.
Tough choice. My top three are Transatlanticism, Plans, and We Have The Facts.

That's exactly what I was thinking, although I've never listened to the EPs.

I really like Plans, because it's all I've heard.

I went with Transtlanticism but they haven't made a bad album yet. I can't believe Plans got so many votes. Its a really good record. Dont get me wrong but I wouldn't rank it one of their best. I'd have to say We Have the Facts is a close second.

only plans and trans will win. definitely their most popular work. i considered narrow stairs too, but went with random eps because the open door is just that great.

Transatlanticism.

I've only heard Plans, Narrow Stairs, Trans and The Open Door EP
I voted Narrow Stairs, but I really like the three full lengths. Not so hot on TOD though.

transatlanticism, then we have the facts..., the rest around the same, though i've never really given something about airplanes a proper listen

trans is the best.
BUT. the photo album is my favorite.

The Photo Album and We Have the Facts tied, then Transatlanticism, Something about Airplanes and Plans pretty much tied, then the rest.

Very Very close between Trans and Plans...Although The Open Door EP is incredibly good!!!

I still need to listen to the Photo Album in full. That said, Transatlanticism is miles ahead of anything else they've done.

We Have the Facts... no question. It's their best. 2nd is The Photo Album and Trans gets an honorable mention. In my opinion the Plans & Narrow stairs are pretty poor albums (see: someday you will be loved, the stable song, the ice is getting thinner & talking bird...all shiiiiit songs and don't get me started on meet me on the equinox..what happened to you death cab??)

If any Death Cab hater ever wanted to completely end a discussion on the greatness of DCFC, they'd basically have to say 'Meet Me at the Equinox' and any of us would have to shut up. Still love the band to death (cab for cutie... ZINGGG), but damn was that a piss-poor song.

You must listen to Transatlanticism, I prefer Plans, but Trans is a great record.

Seriously, how do you not think Plans is the best? lol
I'm not a big fan of Narrow Stairs. Nor Plans. I love Transatlanticism, though.

Transatlanticism is a timeless album. Although Plans is very close.

We Have the Facts by farrr followed by Trans and Photo.
Ive listened to a lot of death cab over the years haha

Tough choice, but I went with Plans since that's what got me into their music, but I also love Transatlanticism.

Trans....their best easily
Went with Trans... their only album I've ever really enjoyed.
Plans is just so damn good
Masterfully done from start to finish. The way it opens with Marching Bands of Manhattan is amazing.

I feel like the poll results are production based. I love Trans and Plans, both have moments, but there is something brutally honest about both Facts and The Photo Album that I think get lost in some of the gloss of later work. Then again, it could just be that I love nostalgia. Either way, We Have the Facts is my favorite.

I kind of see what you mean, but I don't think Transatlanticism's production was very glossy at all. Plans' production was for sure though.
Anyway, it was a tough choice between the two aforementioned albums, but I ended up going with Plans. Almost every song on that album is absolutely amazing in my opinion, and I'd be lying if I said it weren't my favorite.

Thank you. Narrow Stairs is so much better than Plans.
I voted Photo Album

imo
Photo Album > Trans > Facts > Narrow Stairs >> Plans
I need to try and get into Airplanes. Thus far I just can't get into it, but that's how I was with Facts for awhile. Also I really, really liked the Open Door EP and hope they go more in that direction than the Meet Me on the Equinox.
