<P> Rolling Stone reviewed Transatlanticism and commented that it contained "melodic, melancholy songs about feeling both smart and confused, hopelessly romantic but wary of love ." Gibbard's voice was described as "plaintive boy - next - door" Entertainment Weekly commented on the music on Plans, saying "The lush arrangements are long on hothouse organs and pianos, but short on the squirmy guitars and squirrelly beats that, on Gibbard's best work, offset his sweet voice and borderline - maudlin poetics with a sense of emotional danger ." The band's music on Plans was described by the Dallas Morning News as "a literate, whispery style, the kind of stuff that normally sounds better in headphones than in large venues". </P> <P> In an interview with Shave Magazine, Ben Gibbard commented on his song writing saying that he "never sit (s) down to write an album number one . I just kind of sit down and write songs and the theme kind of makes itself apparent . But I would never say I was writing about searching for something as much as just trying to document with every song where I am in that moment when I'm writing that song . If a theme kind of makes itself apparent in a record, it has more to do with the fact that just what's been on my mind recently . So I guess clearly I have been and was and am, but it was never a conscious decision ." </P> <P> Gibbard took the band name from the song "Death Cab for Cutie" written by Neil Innes and Vivian Stanshall and performed by their group the Bonzo Dog Doo - Dah Band . The song was performed by the Bonzos in the Beatles film Magical Mystery Tour . The song's name was in turn taken from an invented pulp fiction crime magazine, devised by the English academic Richard Hoggart in his 1957 study of working class culture, The Uses of Literacy . In a 2011 interview, Gibbard stated, "The name was never supposed to be something that someone was going to reference 15 years on . So yeah, I would absolutely go back and give it a more obvious name ." </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> <P> Current members </P> <Ul> <Li> Benjamin (Ben) Gibbard--lead vocals, guitars, piano (1997--present), drums (1997, 2000), bass (1997) </Li> <Li> Nick Harmer--bass guitar (1997--present), backing vocals (2008 - present) </Li> <Li> Jason McGerr--drums, percussion (2003--present) </Li> <Li> Dave Depper--guitars, keyboards, backing vocals (2016--present; touring member 2015 - 2016) </Li> <Li> Zac Rae--keyboards, guitar (2016--present; touring member 2015 - 2016) </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> </Td> <Td> <P> Former members </P> <Ul> <Li> Chris Walla--guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals (1997--2014) </Li> <Li> Nathan Good--drums, percussion (1997--1999) </Li> <Li> Michael Schorr--drums, percussion (2000--2003) </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
