    An enchanting introduction to a talented band's equally solid beginnings.
  2. PopMatters
    70
    There's enough previously unreleased material here to make it a good bet even for those lucky slobs who've managed to get their paws on one of those Sub Pop Singles Club 7-inches.
  3. Rolling Stone
    60
    Most of Chords will appeal only to Death Cab for Cutie devotees.
