More Info:

This enhanced CD includes the long out of print 5-song self-titled CD and five of nine songs from the "Envelope Sessions" cassette, along with a previsouly unreleased outtake, and a hilarious, heartwarming video. Charmingly lo-fi pop gems.

Reviews:

With the burgeoning popularity of underground buzz band Death Cab for Cutie,the demand has grown for frontman Ben Gibbard's two older, obscure soloEPs. So here the pair are collected together, intertwined, and issued anew viathe band's bigger, current label Barsuk, with an unreleased track and asong video tacked on to spice up the repackage. Both All Time Quarterbackand the formerly cassette-only, solo-acoustic, live-to-walkman The EnvelopeSessions were recorded in the spring of 1999, with Ben working mostly alone.And though half of it is lo-fi, the All Time Quarterback EP tracks incorporateenough minor bass and drums/percussion to make for more fleshed out, if stillparsimonious approach, and at that, the compositions are above-average. In particular,it isn't hard to imagine Death Cab taking on the standouts "PlansGet Complex" and "Untitled" or the Magnetic Fields cover "WhyI Cry." In other words, this CD is instantly a treat for committed fans,and also holds value to those in love with the quieter side of Death Cab.
