I've been a follower of their music since the beginning and am convinced the correlation with their success has been inversely proportionate to their creativity in songwriting. Plans and Transatlanticism are DCFC's weakest showings, though they hit on some songs it’s not the collective effort seen on their earlier work. When I listened to "I will possess your heart", I was stupefied in how cool the track sounded and like you feel they drifted away from a very enveloping first 4.3 minutes of bliss. It's still a great song but now Ben's vocals become an appendage to the song rather than the main force. Earlier works had me waiting to hear his vocals, now I tense up hoping for the best.

Just, please, stop telling a freaking whiny story about how he wishes he were lovers with someone. Blech.
