I understand that with age, a musician's writing style will change, but those are two completely different lyrical set ups.

Stairs is extremely straight forward, and not as imaginative, whereas Planes showed a writer that didn't really believe in limits or conventional ideas to compare life's events to.

To me it's pretty much the same, just without that stupid vocal effect they used to put on all of the songs.

I'll take the trans, plans, and stairs lyrics over airplanes, facts/yes, and songs with chords any day. Plus I don't know how "you are a tourist" is cringewortht when we're talking about the band with songs like:

I was a kaleidoscope
Someday you will be loved
Your heart is an empty room
I will follow you into the dark

It's just death cab. I'm couldnt be more excited for this record.
