A.V. Club C Death Cab For Cutie: Codes And Keys

Rolling Stone 3.5/5 Check out our album review of Artist's Codes and Keys on Rolling Stone.com.

Gigwise 8/10 The band’s latest album, ‘Codes And Keys’, is a nod more towards the indie side of things – thought provoking lyrical content and slower instrumental delivery, and is definitely going to surprise a lot of people - fans and critics.

Under The Radar 7.0/10 Perfection is the goal for Death Cab for Cutie. One listen to its seventh album, Codes and Keys, reveals a band as conscious as ever of the power of the studio.

The Observer 2/5 Death Cab for Cutie's seventh album is full of bittersweet melodies, but fails to convince <strong>Ally Carnwath</strong>

Slant 3/5 Thanks in no small part to Death Cab, there’s now a permanent niche for indie pop that’s smart, sad, and refined, and Codes and Keys fills it nicely.

Pop Matters 4/10 Perhaps it was inevitable.

The Guardian 3/5 Winsome US indie has a hard time grabbing British audiences. Could this be the album that changes all that, asks <strong>Alexis Petridis</strong>
