INTERESTING SHOW.......2007-01-24

If you saw this show it is a must for your collection

In my own lifetime.......2002-03-31

This has to be one of my all time favorite cast recordings. Although as a Broadway musical it didnt have nearly the success of Fiddler it is non the less an excellent recording,and it did win at least TWO Tonys.(I understand the one that Hal Linden won was one of the reasons that he got the job in "Barney Miller".
Of course the best number on the recording is "In my own lifetime",and "Sons" is just slightly chauvinistic but....
Hal Linden is of course magical, Keene Curtis does how many roles and Paul Hecht as the oldest son steals the show in his number with Jill Clayburgh. I do know of one piece of music that was cut from the show that I would love to get my hands on,called "Its just a map". Well worth a listen!

Tevye had rich relatives!.......2002-02-22

Bock and Harnick may not have reached the heights they did in Fiddler but they have produced a forgotten treasure. The album is better than the show. The songs and emotions are clearer and more effective when you don't have to bother with the labored book which is heavy on European politics and 18th century bond trading. Hal Linden is in fine voice and surprisingly we even get to hear a young Jill Clayburgh vocalize.

oh the misery of it al!.......2002-02-07

quiktime has sequestered the resources to hear your samples, and of course, it won't play them.
try arguing with it..

maybe you could provide us chickuns with alternate media players?? uh, how about it?

A muscular, vibrant score with many musical shadings.......1999-08-25

This is the most "through-composed" of the musicals of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, as befits the 18th/19th century European setting. Hal Linden's Tony Award-winning performance comes through loud and clear as the partriarch of the family, as does fellow Tony-winner Keene Curtis in a variety of roles. "Sons," "Rothschild and Sons," "Pleasure and Privilege" are standouts. A neglected gem of the musical theater.

People don't like this?!.......2006-11-04

This is without a doubt the best bit of Death Cab you can have on a cd. While only being 3 songs, it is perfect. The first two are fantastic and I'm not going to say much about them. I don't see why any Death Cab fan wouldn't like them. The third song, and in my opinion the best Death Cab song ever, is something it seems people like to hate. It's over 12 minutes and most of it is the same riff repeated over and over again. At first this may seem ridiculous and boring, but I assure that it gets better the more you listen to it. It's such a beautiful line and I feel it could go on forever and it still would be okay. Give the song (and the rest of the EP) a chance.

Some of their smoothest dabbling.......2006-10-03

Slow-burning tribute from Deathcab produces surprisingly tender results, broken up nicely by the up-tempo Bjork cover, also done nicely. Probably not a favorite of some fans due to the minimalist nature, but given the sensitive refrain from faster paced material, some very under appreciated work. The very disdain for the extended instrumental of the Stability proves that many fans are holding prejudice, as the track displays nary a hint of pretentiousness, possibly holding more promise for those that do not belong to this rabid fanbase.

Only for the die hard fan.......2006-05-03

This EP is very curious in that most of the trademarks of Death Cab's sound are nowhere to be found. I can't say that I know that Bjork song that they've covered, but in general, I don't care much for Death Cab's cover songs because they tend to play them as fans, rather than playing them as if they were Death Cab songs. 20th Century Towers is a fairly forgettable number, and while Stability is a good song, now that we have a more concise reworking available on Plans (The Stable Song), its lost a bit of its sheen.

If you love everything Death Cab has done, there's probably something for you here. But if you're looking for an entry into what the big deal with these guys is all about, I would start with something else.

yuck.......2005-10-05

Sounds like every other I'm such a sensitive sad male garbage that is flooding corporate radio stations. Boo hoo. The bravado of these people to take a beautiful song (all is full of love) and puke on it. It really makes me sick to my stomach.

Gorgeous EP.......2004-03-13

The Stability EP is perhaps the most controversial release in the Death Cab catalog. Although it came out around the time of The Photo Album (appearing in original pressings), it abandoned that album's more propulsive nature and retreated to a sound somewhere along the lines of We Have The Facts... as seen through the eyes of Low. The title track is perhaps the most controversial of the tunes here, moving at well past the 12 minute mark. And although the latter portion of the song is a single guitar line repeated over and over, there are some gorgeous building synth swells the add a sort-of epic quality to the tune. And that guitar line is simple, but pretty anyway. If anything drags, it might be "20th Century Towers," but when in the right mood, the track works wonders. Best of all is an excellent cover of Bjork's "All Is Full Of Love," a cover that reminds one of the original only in the sense of melody. But Death Cab makes it completely there own. I'm usually not a fan of covers, but this is everything a cover should be. If there's a hole in your Death Cab collection, purchase this nice EP.
