"Even in those early days, Gibbard displays a brilliant intuitive sense of cadence and melody that sets him apart from the rest. There was an emotional drama boiling over the edge of each indelible hook and elongated vowel. The records lo-fi edge can’t distract form the incredible songwriting and melodic sense captured on Airplanes. It’s not difficult to hear the spark Death Cab had early on, and all to obvious why they caught fire just a few years later."  (Paste Magazine)

"Something About Airplanes still holds up a decade after its creation. If you haven’t added the album to your collection before now, the extras should be more than enough incentive."  (Alternative Press)

"A mission statement for a band that went Gold while rarely answering to anyone but itself."  (Pitchforkmedia.com)
