Hello,
I heard a tune by The Shins last night that I found to be rather good.
Are The Shins rather good? Or have I been mislead on this one?
Thanks!

i have only heard their last album, chutes too narrow, but that is indeed rather good in a timeless melodic guitar pop kind of way. |

Wincing the Night away, their new album (I shouldn't have it, but do somehow) is absolutely amazing. Expect 2007 to be the year of The Shin _________________ www.myspace.com/storkboychoons

Can't reccomend The Shins highly enough. All 3 albums to date have been belters (including the new one which I, erm, somehow chanced upon). |

Hmm, I'm afraid I'm quite underwhelmed.
As such, I now have their first two albums for sale.
If anyone is interested send me a PM.

OK, "Oh, Inverted World". has now gone.
Anyone want "Chutes too Narrow"?
£6.50 delivered.
Sorry for the shameless spam - I also have PS2 games for sale!

Their new album is quite a bit more sonically adventurous than either of those albums. Though there are some great songs on them too. _________________ www.myspace.com/storkboychoons

Fuck me. Wincing The Night Away is AMAZING. It's worth every penny and a few more, just for the first song!

I am listening to their new one now - it is my first time.
Sounds pretty good on 1st play - a bit of Pavement-influence never hurt anyone did it? But it's no Crooked Rain. _________________ Scattershot Writing: www.jameseverington.blogspot.com |

Actually...... I totally overreacted. On first listen I thought it was a lot better than their previous two efforts and got carried away with myself.
It still sounds quite MOR to me

p.s. Can't stop listening to Herculean by TGTBATQ. _________________ "fashioned by the blade of a world that doesn't care,
