Thoughts on DCFC's new single

I love Death Cab For Cutie.
I love Death Cab For Cutie.
I LOVE Death Cab For Cutie.

BUT

"I Will Posses Your Heart" sucks really bad.

The eight-and-a-half minute album version is up on Myspace. I dig the four minute intro. I don't dig the parts where Ben Gibbard sings (which is unusual as I normally find his voice soothing and his lyrics clever-ish).
The radio single axes the huge intro, so if the song pops up on your local rock 'n' roll music station all you're left with is four minutes of crap.

Listen for yourself.
Or don't.

I fear for the rest of the album.
