User Album Review
The album couples the familiarity of their pensive guitars and Ben Gibbard's evocative lyrics with sonic flourishes that add atmosphere. "Your Hurricane" is a carefully crafted lament, grounded by Nick Harmer's bass playing and Jason McGerr's precise drumming, while Gibbard asserts that he "won't be the debris in your hurricane." The band embrace melody on "When We Drive," its warm production and smooth chorus calming the listener.
Album opener "I Dreamt We Spoke Again" and lead single "Gold Rush" show a band with deepening confidence — the group's sonic experiments reveal the necessity of their two newer members, Dave Depper and Zac Rae. "I Dreamt We Spoke Again" is ensconced in synths and curious production, while the "Gold Rush" has a genuine swagger thanks to Gibbard's clever lyrics and a sample from Yoko Ono's "Mind Train."
Ultimately, Thank You for Today finds the Death Cab for Cutie of 2018 taking stock of their band, choosing to forge ahead by using the foundation of their back catalogue to harness their core identity and build upon it. The band's shared vision is clear, encapsulated in this collection of songs.
