I'm auctioning the very rarely listed Death Cab for Cutie album "We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes", released on Barsuk Records of Seattle, Washington. Purchased in 2001, the album is in Very Good/Mint condition. Album cover features a die-cut outer sleeve that allows the insert to show through some of the dots at the bottom of the artwork. The only thing keeping it from being mint condition is the fact that the vinyl is opened. I listened to it a total of maybe 10 times, once before listing the item to check for pops or skips. The vinyl plays perfectly and the cover shows only very minor wear from being stored among other LPs. The spine is clean and clear and looks like new. It was also kept in a smoke free home, in a clear record sleeve, so there is no discoloration of the artwork.I guarantee your satisfaction and will refund payment if unsatisfied for any reason. I'm only selling the album because I have the mp3's and need to downsize my record collection. I included a review of the record from ALLMUSIC.COM as well as a track listing. If you're unfamiliar with these songs, the album is rated 4 Stars and many consider it the best of their 3 albums. I accept Paypal only, and the record ships the day I recieve payment. Standard rates apply for USPS priority mail, approximately $5 US. If you'd like rush delivery, I can provide quotes as well. Good luck bidding!

If you're looking at this item, you know how hard it is to find, especially in this condition. Don't miss out on this highly sought after record.

"Like the also-great Idaho or Wheat, to file Death Cab for Cutie under the mellow-pop umbrella that shelters tranquil chamber outfits such as Red House Painters, Low, or (post-dance-pop) Talk Talk would do them a gross, miscalculated service. While they're no strangers to the tickling knelling of guitars searching out the extra space found in laggard tempos, that predilection only encompasses a fourth of Death Cab for Cutie's output (like on "Title Track" and "Little Fury Bugs"). Heck, they're not even remotely quiet for half of We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes — the best and brightest LP of their three fine albums to date. Ben Gibbard has turned into a sublime composer, using melodies sparingly but with splendid tunefulness, as all four players marinate his writing with delicately plucked, picked, and pulled arpeggios, ringing chords, and non-obvious atmosphere building. Verily, the slow, broody stuff is but a change of pace; it's when the volume doubles (if only occasionally crashes), when the band shows potency, that We Have the Facts starts flying, soaring with exigency beyond even the threatening storm clouds from the last flight plan, 1998's Something About Airplanes. "Lowell, MA" and "Company Calls" are perfect examples: drummer Nathan Good actually gets to punish his snare and toms, the other three dig in with him, and the words "indie pop" suddenly sounds fresh and alive, with real aggressive, post-dream pop guitar popscapes. Loud and soft, or most of all both, and plenty of points in between, DCFC write and record finished songs that emote, that do more than merely fill a slot in a form in a preconceived genre. In short, they're superb. And getting greater."
