With Plans, the band moves to the hulking multinational Atlantic, and even though big record companies are in danger of mismanaging themselves into irrelevance, the major-label debut remains an important marker in a group's development, kind of like a rock-'n'-roll Bar Mitzvah. There's a big stage, lots of buzz, some singing and, if everything goes well, checks with impossibly large numbers waiting...
