Narrow Stairs

Been listening to Death Cab's latest, Narrow Stairs this weekend.  Its pretty good. 

I feel the first single, "I Will Possess Your Heart" 's much criticized long intro (4:31) actually serves the song/album well.  The music and lyrics of the song are assertive which is refreshing because in my opinion, much of Death Cab's music is an exercise in catharsis.  Not that I don't like that catharsis, its one of my favorite aspects of their stuff and has certainly helped me during some more lonesome times of my life.   However, I also really like songs that are on a mission, like this one.
