Album theme [edit]

Drummer Jason McGerr noted the continuity betwixt Plans and the Death Cab for Cutie'south previous album, Transatlanticism. McGerr stated "if Transatlanticism was an inhale, Plans is the exhale."[4]

In explaining the theme of the album, Ben Gibbard stated "I don't think in that location's necessarily a story, but there'southward definitely a theme here. 1 of my favorite kind of dark jokes is, 'How do you lot make God express joy? You brand a plan.' Nobody ever makes a plan that they're gonna go out and get hit past a car. A plan almost always has a happy ending. Essentially, every programme is a tiny prayer to Male parent Time. I really similar the idea of a plan not existence seen as having definite outcomes, but more similar little wishes."[5]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an boilerplate score of 66, indicating "more often than not favorable reviews."[6] Jonah Bayer of Culling Press stated that Plans "seamlessly picks upward right where 2003'southward Transatlanticism left off" and praised its "cinematic" scope.[17] The A.V. Club 'southward Josh Modell wrote that the band "wears grandiosity with grace, miniaturizing and polishing large, broad moments into tiny triumphs that, similar audible illusions, feel simultaneously intimate and huge."[eighteen] David Turnbull of musicOMH accounted Plans to be "an album of progression that is likely to win the band plenty of new fans, but it shouldn't amerce their fanbase either."[19] Rhyannon Rodriguez, writing for Kludge, regarded the album as "a melodically-mellow masterpiece" which expresses the "absolute paradigm of this generation's pop."[20] While stating that "at times, the writing feels nearly too weightless", Ann Powers, writing in Blender, nonetheless contended that "repeat listening makes these songs reliably addictive."[8]
