Try nearly a million: it’s the second best-selling album in Sub Pop history, after Nirvana’s Bleach (at least it was as of ~2 years ago; one of the Shins’ records might finally have beaten it by now).

Anyway, Give Up is near-platinum, which makes people’s confusion as to why anyone — not least Jonathan Poneman — would want a followup sort of naive.

Give Up sold over 500k and is one of the best albums of this decade and they have the nerve to just write it off like its nothing. I understand its their mjusic but its kinda s**** to the many fans to act so nonchalant about it.</p> Oh and btw, I hate their response to this.

I like all their album s except the latest one, Narrow Stairs. I think I like maybe 3 songs on that one. Can't believe it's actually selling well too. It pops up occasionally in the iTunes top 100 albums list even now..</p> Death Cab is actually a very good band. I like all their album s except the latest one, Narrow Stairs.
