Review
The last album of Death Cab for Cutie has leaked (and this one is not fake…) ! It differs from their last two albums by being a bit more mellow and less uptempo. The typical edgy poppy sound has been switched for a more mellow laidback vatiety. The songs are all really decent, better than mediocre, but they certainly don’t exceed my expectations. The voice of Ben Gibbard makes every song a bit more special even though the songs aren’t that brilliantly written. My favourite song is the first single ‘I Will Possess Your Heart’. Everyone has probably already heard this song (if not, then you haven’t visited their site lately :p). I dislike the long instrumental part (it is just waaaaay to long), but I reallly do like the second part. It reminds me a bit of the ‘old’ songs.
Oh yes, the file you can get, contains m4a-files. Since my music player (foobar) can play them without a problem, I was to lazy to convert them :p
Have fun with the album! Don’t forget to support the band by going to their upcoming concerts!
My favorite song: 2. I Will Possess Your Heart

So there have been rumors that this isn’t the actual album, because there have been a german band that played a prank and pretended that it was death cab for cutie.
aha, so my question is, are you sure that this is authentic?

I’m 99% sure it is authentic.
The fake one contained songs of Velveteen. And although the voice of the frontman sounds alike on some songs, there is a distinct difference
