    Not really a must-have collection for anyone that doesn't have a Ben Gibbard shrine in the corner of their dorm room.

    Most of Chords will appeal only to Death Cab for Cutie devotees.

    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.
