Moose Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 This has had really mixed reviews but I think it's fantastic; probably their 2nd best record after Wincing the Night Away. I purchased it perfectly to coincide with the beautiful weather we're having.Anyone heard it yet? It's just another great album by The Shins, consolidating them as one of my favourite bands right now (although I'm not fussed with Oh, Inverted World).

It will take a lot to shift WtNA as my number one, too. Will listen again today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest E.C Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 you don't like Chute's Too Narrow?! that's my favourite Shins album, but it's also the first one I heard so i guess it has that 'sentimental' feel or whatever the fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 My life was never the same after I hear New Slang for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 New Slang is an outstanding song, but that album is pretty uninspriring. I always associate New Slang with Zach Braff's stupid face, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 It goes Wincing the Night Away>Port of Morrow>Chutes Too Narrow>Oh, Inverted World.Ewan, I love Chutes Too Narrow, just not as much as these other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I always associate New Slang with Zach Braff's stupid face, mind you.That was the point of my post.I have Oh, Inverted world and Chutes too narrow. I like Chutes too narrow the most of the two. I'm not exactly sure why I never bothered with Wincing the night away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 WtNA: it is honestly great. I can hear a lot of The Smiths in it, except it is better than The Smiths. Also, *two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girl anachronism Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Chutes Too Narrow is an incredible record. Better than Wincing in my opinion. Saint Simon is the best song.New record is pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Graham Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Fit the fuck!? Why does no one like Oh, Inverted World?! The albums have been getting progressively worse since then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Also surprised that people rate Wincing the Night Away so highly. There's like two catchy songs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 No way, I thought it was just a given that Wincing the Night Away is the best and Oh, Inverted World is the worst! There's only one weak song on Wincing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Graham Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Ha, well it appears we are as flabbergasted as each other. Oh, Inverted World is sublime in every way. Always recognise it as one of top 5 favourite albums. If you're not that in to it, then I honestly think you haven't given it the time it deserves. Please go back and listen to it on repeat.
