I'd have to say...
"Lightness"--deserves WAY more credit
"Stability"
"20th Century Towers"
"Coney Island"
"Line of Best Fit"
"Steadier Footing"
And I don't think The Photo Album gets the credit it deserves. I think when people, especially on here, discuss THE album Facts and Trans always come up. But think of all the classics on Photo Album. I mean I think front to back it's just as strong as those two. Also, I think "Debate Exposes Doubt" gets more recognition then you guys think: that's the favorite song of alot of people, including me.
Stability and Line of Best Fit are epic. Like.. the way they both buildup and have that "explosion" then wind down. Great mentions. I always get lost in the instrumental part of Stability. Great background music to a day dream. As for Steadier Footing, the only things I like about that song are the guitar line at the end and the lyrics. Otherwise it's just kind of boring. But I agree with your statement about Lightness. I love that song. One of my favorites on Trans. actually. ---------------------------  |

Hmm, I recently listened to Transatlanticism again, and I did a double take on Lightness. So good.
"Always love, hate will get you everytime..."

yeah im a big fan of why youd want to live here.
I think a lot of the photo album is pretty under rated tbh.
Another fav of mine is champagne from a paper cup and also the cover of the smiths this charming man on you can play these songs with chords.

I agree with the comments, in fact The Photo Album is probably my favourite album over all.
Lightness is definitely an overlooked song, such a great piece. As well as Steadier Footing and Coney Island for sure. I still love the groove of We Laugh Indoors and always will. I know a lot of [ignorant] people who are bored by the "i loved you guinevere" part and write it off as a samey sounding song all the way through. But it's genuinely one of my favourites. Subtlety is key for me...in everything.
EDIT: Almost forgot, That's Incentive too. I love that song.

awwww we laugh indoors is awesome!
I really love the " i love you guievere " bit. It comes across as a very angry song to me though? Maybe its just me I dont know?

Yeah Coney Island is very overlooked, & it's a pretty amazing song. Especially the instrumentation like the drumb beat, and the piano playing. Oh man I wish they'd play that song live.
I wish the world was flat like the old days.

coney island is an amazing song, another one id love to see live is we looked like giants or a lack of colour.

I think Marching Bands of Manhattan is overlooked. Lyrically, one of the most beautiful songs. I also think Steadier Footing, and I Was a Kaleidoscope are overlooked.

From the youtube clips I've seen of that song the crowd knows and loves that song better than any of the other death cab songs combined.
I pound beers for Jesus

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that James was being sarcastic.
